Skysolo FX.One Carbon Trekking Poles

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

UOG TOP PICK – For Fast, Focused Mountain Travel: Weighing just 181g with a compact fold and crisp carbon response, these fixed-length poles are ideal for lightweight missions.

Leki says: 

The Skysolo is made for the world’s highest mountains. Leading mountaineers contributed to the development and testing of the new Sky Series. With a shaft diameter of 16 and 14 mm, it offers stability while remaining lightweight for expeditions. This fixed-length pole is equipped with the newly designed and extremely sleek Verticon foam grip. The special feature: the form-stable, ultra-light, and fast-drying D-Loop Mesh Strap, already used in trail running. The grip, including the strap, weighs only 28 g and impresses with its perfect ergonomic shape and a grip extension for additional hand positioning options. After many elevation gains, the Verticon offers descent control and comfort with its large grip surface.

Note on use: The product is weight-optimised and designed for experienced mountain walking. It requires particularly skilful and careful use. The product is explicitly not designed for use in skiing or ski mountaineering and is not protected against impact from the ski edge.

Do not use the pole or poles as a walking aid in accordance with DIN EN 1985. Poles intended exclusively for trekking, cross-trail, trail running and Nordic walking may not be used for skiing.

Our Verdict

At just 181g (120 cm), these fixed-length carbon poles pack down to 37 cm and feel sharp underfoot. The angled Verticon grip and breathable mesh strap provide solid control on steep ground, while the folding design allows for quick stowage.

Carbon construction rewards careful footwork with excellent stiffness, and the ability to replace lower sections adds some reassurance. A sleek, agile option for mountain-focused travel where speed and precision come first.
