The Sherpa FX Carbon Max is LEKI's top-of-the-line ski pole for backcountry touring and especially splitboarding. It's extremely adjustable to accommodate uphill and downhill travel, and it collapses into three sections for the compact packability that splitboarders need. LEKI's Aergon Air grip extends down the pole so you can choke down on steep sections of the skin track or bootpack. The basket was also built to make it easier than ever to lift your heel risers for steep skin tracks.
