50% OFF Leki Hiking & Ski Poles Plus More Outdoor Gear Deals — Ends Monday

Psssst…We just found a GREAT deal on Leki brand hiking and ski poles at LeftLane Sports ~ discontinued models of top-end gear at HALF THE PRICE of the same poles still found at REI and Whole Earth Provision at full price. Plus, if you are new to LeftLane Sports, we’ll help you save an extra $10 on top of the sale prices!

Here’s a sampling of our favorite Leki Pole sale finds…
(Sale ends Monday, September 28)

Marmot

:: OUR FAVORITE DEAL: Leki Jannu Hiking Poles — price drops to $49.95 with $10 OFF LeftLane new member credit (retails for $119.95 at REI) — we’ve looked and cannot find a price that comes close! We recently used these same poles on a day-hike through the Rocky Mountains and can tell you first hand that these are some of the best poles for hiking. They are adjustable for your height, quickly compress down for a back-pack, and feature comfortable hand grips — perfect for high-mileage days on the trail.

:: LEKI Thunderbolt Ski Poles — price drops to $33.95 with $10 OFF LeftLane new member credit (retails for $79.95).  If you are planning to hit the slopes this winter, take a look at this great deal on top-rated ski poles.

 

Don’t Forget The LeftLane Sports
HOT $10 Credit Offer For New Members!

When you sign up for LeftLane Sports daily deals for the first time, you’ll receive a $10 credit to use towards any LeftLane Sports order of $50 or more ~ including their exclusive Leki sale!  It looks like you have 6 months to use the credit before it expires, but other than that, there are no other strings attached (we love this!). Do note that the $10 credit is only offered for new account sign-ups and that it is FREE to join.

How to get the $10 OFF LeftLane Sports credit:

  1. Go here to sign up for free and get the $10 Left Lane Sports credit! Once you are signed up as a new member, a $10 credit will be waiting for you to use on your minimum $50 Purchase.
  2. Find and select the Leki sale or sale of choice by scrolling through the discount “boutiques” listed on LeftLane Sports (look for this image).
    ..
  3. Make your purchase before Monday. This sale goes away on Monday, so you will not want to wait!  As usual with LeftLane Sports, many items do sell out quickly.
