LEKI SpeedLock Challenge Returns to ORWM 2010

It’s back due to popular demand! An addicting game of speed and agility, the LEKI SpeedLock Challenge allows you to test your own pole adjusting skills using LEKI’s new SpeedLock system, THE strongest external pole locking system in the world. How fast you can adjust a series of 10 LEKI trekking poles with SpeedLock will determine where you place on the leader board. The three fastest times each day win great prizes from LEKI, Highgear, Yaktrax, Granger’s, and other outdoor industry friends. Prizes will be awarded during the LEKI Happy Hour party from 4 – 6 p.m. each day, Thursday through Saturday, booth #30017E.

Developed by LEKI’s top German design and engineering team, SpeedLock is the only external locking system on the market that utilizes direct compression force to lock the pole shafts into place, thus providing the ultimate in locking strength capabilities. The red locking lever is the identifying mark of the super fast and simple adjustment technology on SpeedLock that anyone can work in an instant. It’s effortless to open and shut with just one touch of the hand, even when the adjustment screw is at its tightest and even while wearing thick gloves in rain, ice and snow.

Donations of $1 per try at the SpeedLock Challenge are welcome. All proceeds benefit The Breast Cancer Fund’s Climb Against the Odds. LEKI will match total dollars collected.
