Leki, one of the premier pole manufacturers for trekking, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and Nordic walking, sadly lost its CEO, Klaus Lenhart, in a plane crash earlier this week. A German national aerobatics champion, Mr. Lenhart had worked at the company his father built, starting as an apprentice toolmaker before taking over management of the business with his siblings at the age of 19. As a tribute to a man considered a visionary and passionate advocate for the Outdoor Industry, we thought we’d share one of our latest reviews of Leki product to give you an indication of his legacy.
