Built to help you save energy in the backcountry, the Karakoram Dual Ride-Stride Forward Lean allows for a -8-degree forward lean in walk mode for a more natural range of motion, and then transitions into Ride Mode by easily rotating the forward lean adjuster 90-degrees to your preset forward lean setting. It's also constructed from durable Dupont Zytel for an ideal, secure fit and just the right amount of flex.
