| About Leki | |||
LEKI USA is always written in capital letters because it is an acronym. LEKI is pronounced, "Lake-ee". LE is the first two letters of the owner's last name, Klaus Lenhart, and KI is from the location of the company, Kirchheim/Teck, Germany. This information will help you win trivia contests; we suggest you donate your winnings to your favorite Outdoor Industry Association non-profit agency. THE LEGEND OF LEKI LEKI, the world's leading manufacturer of ski, hiking and trekking poles had its start in Kircheim, Germany as a hobby of its founder, Karl Lenhart, an airframe mechanic and avid skier. Lenhart believed aluminum would make a superior ski pole compared to the heavy steel models available in the late 1940's. After successfully creating light- weight poles for his friends, in 1954, the hobby became a full time business. LEKI originated the use of nylon webbing for straps and created plastic molded grips and baskets in place of metal and leather. Additionally, Lenhart developed an aluminum tempering process that produces pole shaft with incomparable strength, durability, and reliability. In 1984, Klaus Lenhart, Karl's son assumed leadership and shortly there after developed the first dual- component grip. He is also responsible for improving adjustable pole-locking technology and grip innovations such as the Trigger "Click-In" system and COR-TEC, a material made of real cork and latex. As the ski market continued to flourish, LEKI began manufacturing hiking poles primarily for European mountain guides. The concept of using two poles as means of relieving stress on knee joints and the lower back appealed to climbers who also saw benefits in performance and safety. LEKI poles eventually caught on with the general hiking and trekking population that recognized and appreciated the preventive health benefits as well as the climbing support and stabilizing effects. In 1990, LEKI USA was incorporated. The North American market has embraced the company's line of alpine, Nordic, back country, mountaineering, Nordic walking, and trekking poles. Like their European counterparts who have been loyal to LEKI for nearly five decades, North American outdoor enthusiasts know and appreciate LEKI quality and value. Equipping more than 50 per cent of the "Best in the world" racers (in some countries up to 90 per cent) LEKI has become one of the most important supporters of all disciplines of alpine ski racing. Also, in cross-country skiing more and more athletes rely on the innovative products of the swabian pole specialist. Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious "cross country" skiers. Fitness walkers in Europe adopted Nordic Walking as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout. Today, approximately 500,000 people in Finland enjoy Nordic Walking regularly, and it is spreading in popularity throughout Scandinavia. Nordic Walking's popularity is growing with walking clubs and instructors leading classes across the United States. LEKI offers optional accessories for year round versatility, and spare parts to keep your poles in perfect working condition. | All Leki Leki SALE!

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK from Christine (1/29/10): Hello! I usually don't write notes like this but just wanted to say THANK YOU for an awesome first time online shopping experience. I just heard about your store a few weeks ago from a friend. I had been looking for a bag and found exactly what I was looking for on your site. I enjoyed the emails and note in the package. I was so surprised it arrived so quickly and loved the note inside after a long day at work. I just wanted to say thank you and hope your day tomorrow is just as good as my last 10 minutes!

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK from Jim (1/16/10): I recently made my first purchase with you and I could not be happier. I was a customer of a competitor of yours (Altrec) and they have been dropping the ball lately with their service. I ordered a North Face jacket from them for my wife and it showed up in a ripped bag and the jacket was damaged from shipping. I returned it and ordered the same jacket from you for my wife. It showed up in a box and in perfect condition. Plus your price was cheaper. It takes them on avg about two weeks to credit me back when I return something. I am eager to see how long it takes you when the time comes. But for now my wife loves the jacket and I am happy with your service. Looking forward to being a regular customer of yours. Thanks!!
