Why We Like The Distance Carbon FLZ Trekking Pole

As any seasoned pro like us knows, weight can make or break a distance hike, but equally necessary for efficiency with a large pack is a trekking pole or two. The Distance Carbon FLZ Trekking Poles are made from carbon fiber, which keeps the weight down but keeps strength and durability up. Twenty centimeters of adjustable length makes them versatile as well, so we can fine-tune their size to match the terrain.

A lightweight EVA handle and foam extension doesn't add much in the way of ounces, but it does add all day comfort during 20 mile days, and the foam is moisture-wicking as well, so there'll be no case of clammy hands slipping on a steep slope. The Carbon FLZ comes complete with interchangeable carbide and rubber Tech Tips, too, so we can confidently cross from grassy valley to rocky scree slope without batting an eye.

Game changing poles

For anything over 7 miles or 3000 ascent I carry these. They’re so light that I don’t even notice when they’re packed away. But in my hands they’re awesome. Supper strong. They’re been my go to for the R2R and across the Wasatch Front. The adjustability is terrific because I like longer poles on descents and shorten them up on the climbs. In just a few seconds I can tweak the length for the job. Well worth it and they go everywhere with me.

Nice looking but…

Nice looking but poorly made…first time out hiking and one of the poles kept separating from itself. I retightened the top clasp but it was not reliable.

Tall Runner

light weight, well constructed. good for tall runners with adjustable height. Couldn't find fixed length light weight option that was tall enough. These are light and adjustable
