Leki
The newTrigger S Vertical grip
system, designed specifi-
cally for alpine touring (AT),
is described as a “ski pole
binding system.” Skiers
literally click in and out
of the grip with one hand
movement. The technology
centers around the Flexband,
an elastic band that enables
variable gripping without
having to click out of the grip.
The grip system is available
on four models next season:
Tour Stick Vario Carbon, Aer-
gon 3, Aergon 2 and
Aergonlite 2.
