What is the best LEKI touring pole? https://www.LEKI.com/uk/product-area/touring/poles I'm looking mainly at LEKI since I can get a good deal on them, I have been using LEKI for 20+ years in the resort.
I'm new to touring and will be mostly touring around northern Utah, I don't think I need one that folds up. What things should I consider in a touring pole? So far I like the Guide Lite V and the Aergonlite 2 with the difference being that one has the removable trigger system and strap and the other a traditional strap. I know using a pole strap on the downhill is frowned upon for safety but what about the uphill? Will a strap be beneficial on the uphill or not?
