Description
The LEKI Wanderfreund telescoping travel cane is designed to provide mobility support and increase balance for simple hikes and around-town touring. With a collapsed length of only 23.2 inches, the Wanderfreund is an ideal travel companion for journeys at home or abroad. The Wanderfreund features a versatile Multi-Medical COR-TEC grip. This textured grip allows the Wanderfreund to be used in a traditional cane-style or, when extended to its maximum 47.2 inches, as an actual walking staff. LEKI's Super Lock System (SLS) takes advantage of wide thread patterns and steep-angled lock adjustments to provide greater security than is found on most telescoping canes. It also makes adjusting the length of the Wanderfreund quick and easy. Giving you peace of mind, the SLS locking system is far less prone to loosening while in use than poorer-crafted canes. The Wanderfreund's carbide flex tip deflects up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole section. This reduces the risk of shaft breakage if the pole should get caught between rocks or tree roots on the trail. By attaching the press-fit rubber tip (included), you can use the Wanderfreund indoors or on improved walking surfaces. The LEKI Wanderfreund is sold individually.

Customer Reviews
utility pole
This is a lightweight collapsible pole which works beautifully in all likely walking circumstance. It comes with a strange little flexible plastic hook attached, & no explanation of its purpose. It's a useful thingummy. Lets you hang the pole on the back of bus & Metro chair rails, you can slide the strap of an umbrella over it & so forth. But I have a feeling it has some other purpose.
grear walking stick
Of all the walking sticks I've checked out, this is a best buy. Light-weight, it telescopes to a size that will fit into medium-sized suitcase.
It is easy to use and sturdy. Highly recommended.
Telescopic Walking Cane
Pricey for what it is. Telescopic hiking poles of the same design and material cost half as much. I never did find out how the so-calles anti-shock system worked.
fantastic cane!!!!!!
I need a cane for use every day due to nerve damage in my left leg so the cane becomes my left leg. I have bought alot of different canes and the last one was advertised to support 500 pounds, and came with a life time warranty, after my 3'rd cane and that one was starting to bend I got fed up and saw the Leki cane. I use to cross county ski alot before I got injured and own a pair of Leki adjustable poles which work fantastic. I purchased the Leki wanderfreund cane and used it very hard the first couple of days that would really destroy any cane that I own and it took everything that I could throw at it. I take the tip off outside and the carbide tip really works great, it also just snowed so I took off one of my snow baskets from my ski poles and put it on my cane and it worked super. The bottom line is you cannot find a better cane both for looks or performance there is no match!!!
light, sturdy and versatile
LEKI Travel Wanderfreund Pole This is my sixth or seventh walking stick/hiking staff and is by far the best of the bunch. The sections are short enough to pack easily, and the stick is very light but surprisingly sturdy and the handle has a very comfortable grip. The handle is one of the best features, as its unique design allows you to use this as a hiking staff or a cane, where it certainly beats my old Alpenstock! The locks are all that Leki claims and you will never lose the rubber "boot" because of a loose fit! If anything, it fits too tightly. You will want to experiment with different ways of gripping this stick to see what works best for you but, on a long hike, it is really nice to be able to change your hand position from time to time, something you really can't do with other sticks.
