Spitfire Vario 3D Adjustable Freeride Ski Poles

About the Leki Spitfire Vario 3D

The Spitfire Vario 3D is a classic aluminium ski pole from German ski giants Leki. These poles are adjustable, using a Speed Lock + system for fast adjustments even when wearing gloves, and still retain the strength of traditional ski poles.

Made from 16/14mm HTS 6.5 Aluminium, the Spitfire 3D poles are extremely robust yet very low in weight and are ready to go anywhere on the mountain. They come with both Alpine and Big Mountain baskets with toolless replacements, so you can adapt to changing conditions and new terrain quickly and easily. At the end are super tough Flex Tips, which make for effortless pole plants and stable grip for all types of terrain.

The Spitfire Vario 3D ski pole features Leki's exclusive Trigger 3D system. This system is an update of the revolutionary Trigger S and enhances ski pole comfort, performance and safety. With the system, you get a small strap that fits securely around any glove and replaces the traditional pole strap. This strap also has a small loop between the thumb and forefinger which attaches to the ski pole with a click and releases at the push of a button. This means no more faffing about on drag lifts trying to get your hands in your pole loops or accidentally dropping them on the chair lift!

Features of the system include that it enables greater power transmission to the pole as well as being the most comfortable system on the market. The main feature, however, is safety. In the event of a bad crash, the pole will become detached from the glove, much as skis do. This pressure on the pole pops the loop out and saves you from twisting or breaking your arm while still attached to the pole. Good huh?

Leki is known to make some of the finest ski poles on the market, having been manufacturing specialised components since the 1960s and the Spitfire Vario 3D is a testament to their reputation for top-quality products.
