Trekking poles Leki XTA Base Jr. — children's adjustable walking poles, black-white

Leki XTA Base Jr. are children's adjustable trekking poles designed for walking and light hiking. The poles provide length adjustability to accommodate growing children, ergonomic handles and wrist straps for a secure and comfortable grip, and a lightweight construction in a black-white finish. These poles are intended to add stability and confidence on family hikes, outdoor walks and school trips while remaining easy to operate and carry.

Advantages

The adjustable length mechanism allows quick and precise sizing without tools, supporting different heights as children grow. Ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue and improve control, while wrist straps keep the poles securely attached during movement. Lightweight materials make the poles easy for children to handle and reduce strain during longer outings. The simple black-white design offers a neutral look that suits a variety of outdoor clothing and equipment.

How to use

Adjust the pole length before use to match the child’s height: stand upright with the pole tip on the ground and set the handle height so the child’s elbow is bent at approximately 90 degrees. Secure the adjustment mechanism according to the manufacturer’s instructions to lock the chosen length. Use the wrist strap to help stabilize the pole: place the strap around the wrist from below and grip the handle over the strap. Walk with a natural stride, planting the pole tip slightly behind the line of the foot on the opposite side to aid balance and propulsion. After use, collapse the poles to their shortest setting for storage or transport.

Usage recommendations

Regularly check the locking mechanism and shaft condition before outings. Keep the adjustment points clean and free of grit to ensure reliable locking. Choose a pole length and wrist strap fit that allow comfortable movement without excessive strain on the shoulders or hands. For terrain with hard surfaces, use appropriate pole tips or protectors as needed; for muddy or snowy conditions, consider compatible baskets if available.
