Article Summary:

The original Lightrek poles were super light but also super-flexible, especially in the longer lengths. The new Gossamer Gear Lightrek poles feature stiffer, more durable shafts and new molded grips. At only 2.8 ounces per pole (125 cm length), they are still the lightest poles on the market.
