The Makalu Lite AS Compact is the more compact, lightweight version of this trusted trekking pole, designed for comfort and confidence on mountain adventures. With an adjustable length of 90–125 cm and weighing just 242g, it’s easy to carry and effortless to use on long days out, while still delivering the stability and support you need on challenging terrain. Its slimmer tube diameter helps keep the weight down without compromising strength or reliability.
Just like its larger sibling, the Makalu Lite AS Compact features the Aergon Air grip, specially developed for trekking. This new-generation handle has been carefully refined to enhance comfort, control, and confidence on the trail. Hollow core technology keeps the grip light, while offering wide, supportive surfaces that feel secure and natural in your hand.
For extra reassurance on descents, the grip head is fully rubberised, providing excellent grip and control when it matters most. The ergonomic shape also encourages a natural pole angle, helping each pole plant feel smooth and controlled, and adding an extra layer of safety and confidence as you move through the mountains.
