Does not honor the reliability of the product

I purchased these poles and after almost two years with very light usage, one of the poles "buttons" that locks it into place was no longer usable. It actually happened WITHIN the two year warranty time but I was unable to contact the company until 4 days afterwards. They did not take responsibility for the malfunctioning pole, nor offered to repair or replace the poles. I highly recommend finding a company that honors the warranty, the reliability of their product and that treats customers with respect. It was also extremely difficult to actually talk to anyone.

Beautiful but very fragile.

Bought two of these poles, and found that the locking button in each has broken off after about three months of use. Leaves them so short that they are now useful only for leprechauns.

Fantastic Product

The Black Diamond Distance Carbon FLZ Poles are an excellent choice for trekking poles. I particularly like the ability to precisely adjust the length of the poles. Thanks to Black Diamond for an excellent product!!!

Fast and light

Have been using these for a while now and love them. They deploy and collapse very quick, and are surprisingly stiff for a trifold design. I know some people prefer the single size but I value the ability to adjust height on these depending on the terrain. Super compact and easy to store a variety of ways on my pack, really nothing to complain about. Super rad poles that do exactly what you want them to

A very cool upgrade

The new model is about 30g lighter with a subtle ergonics enhancement on the grip. Well worth it!
