Buying advice
Which LEKI protection fits your use case?
With LEKI, protection is not just about one product. In racing, the system matters: pole, grip, glove, pole guard and skier profile need to match. For juniors and racers, the choice should depend on discipline, size and training volume.
Race setup
For slalom, gate guards, shin guards and forearm protection are important. For giant slalom, thumb guards or forearm protection can also make sense.
Compatibility
Pole guards must fit the LEKI pole and grip system. Check Trigger 3D, adapters and mounting compatibility carefully.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about LEKI protection
Which LEKI protection do I need for slalom?
Depending on the level, slalom racers typically use gate guards on the poles, shin guards, forearm protection and often a back protector. Junior racers and ski racers benefit from a well-matched setup.
Do LEKI gate guards fit every ski pole?
Not always. LEKI pole guards need to match the pole, grip system and adapter. Compatibility is especially important with Trigger 3D and race poles.
What is the difference between a gate guard and a shin guard?
Gate guards protect the hands on the pole from gate impacts. Shin guards protect the shin and knee area when actively clearing slalom gates.
Should I buy LEKI protection together with LEKI ski poles?
In many cases yes, because pole, Trigger system, glove or Trigger strap and pole guard fit together more reliably. This helps avoid compatibility problems in the race setup.
