Compact and lightweight, these Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z-Poles propel and support you on your trail climbs.
The 100% carbon fibre construction is designed for extreme lightness. While being ultra resistant to traction and compression, carbon remains flexible to support your every move.
Its FlickLock system lets you adjust the height of your poles easily to suit your needs. Folding into 3 sections, it’s designed for quick deployment and easy storage on your rucksack. In just two seconds, you're ready to tackle the steepest trails.
The non-slip extension improves grip, while the strap secures the poles in all circumstances.
For perfect grip whatever the terrain, you have tech tips in carbide and rubber.

For more information on pole sizes, please refer to the table in the data sheet below.
For walking, hiking and portaging, where stability and support are paramount, choose a pole size slightly larger than the one that suits you best.
For running, where propulsion is a priority, choose a smaller pole size than the one that suits you best.

Cone deployment technology draws inspiration from expertise in avalanche probes. It is an essential component of the robustness, stability, and speed of deploying Z-Pole trekking poles. Simply grasp the handle and the upper section of the pole, then pull them in opposite directions. The pole snaps into place with a sharp click and locks. Each rapid deployment cone serves to guide and position a section of the pole and to reinforce the joint when the pole is locked. Soft protective tips cover the Kevlar central cable of the pole when it is folded.
It is composed of ultra-fine fibers, ranging from 5 to 15 micrometers, primarily made up of carbon atoms. These atoms are agglomerated and then aligned along the long axis of the fiber. This alignment provides it with excellent tensile and compressive strength while remaining flexible.
