leki

Founded in Germany in 1948 by aviation mechanic Karl Lenhart, Leki emerged from a skier’s dissatisfaction with the quality of poles available at the time. Leveraging his experience with aluminum and composite materials, Lenhart began producing his own grips and baskets before launching the first Leki-branded aluminum ski poles in 1970. This foundation in material expertise and problem-solving continues to define the brand, which is a global leader in high-performance poles for skiing, trekking, and trail running. The brand’s identity is rooted in German engineering, prioritizing safety, durability, and ergonomic comfort.
