Why We Like The Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Poles
Whether we're fastpacking or ultrarunning, Black Diamond's Distance Carbon Z Poles support us on the ups and downs without weighting our arm swing. The slimmed down construction drops grams, not strength, to feel like air in our hands as we race across peaks, while the foldable design tucks away neatly on the straightaways.

These poles rock
They just work, which is all you can really ask for. So light but still sturdy, they click into place and break down with ease, the grips are comfy and they slide really well in and out of a quiver - something that a lot of other poles I've tried seem to struggle with. I would recommend these to any trail runner that wants a reliable pole that they know they will have to use and put away often on big days.

Solid and reliable
Light and strong! All you need. Never have to decide whether they’re worth lugging around on a big day

Light but sturdy
Light to use and folds up small to fit in my pack. I am now on my 3rd pair over 15 years and have walked thousands of kms , mostly on light hilly trails with them. The folding mechanism starts to get sticky and then fail but it is worth replacing with a new pair of poles

Favorite hiking poles!
I'm rather new to hiking with poles and didn't see the need...however I am a total convert. These poles are so easy to pack, lightweight, and add stability and speed to my hikes. I also get some upper body exercise. Love these poles!

Lightweight, packable, great power transfer
Weather it’s an outing with the gals or a 2000 vert quick workout, these poles performed wonderfully. Super light weight. Hardly noticeable. Transferred power to aid in uphill hiking. Packed down quick to stow while scrambling or moving quickly downhill. I loved the fixed length. Took all the guesswork out of adjusting.

Z hiking poles
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 115
I have always used telescoping poles prior to these. Find over time and heavy use they wear out and constantly loosen and slip down while in use which gets annoying. Used these on a 50 mile thru hike they were great! No worry w shrinking and o loved that I could fold and tuck them away in pack pockets on parts of the trail while still walking. No need to stop to put them away or take them out. Compact storage also helped reduce any chance of getting them snagged while stored on branches in thick brush areas. Definitely happy with this purchase at this point. Hopefully they last longer than my previous poles. For those wondering on height chart ( I had to exchange mine for taller ones) I am 5’4 and was happy with 115 for height. Was able to have that level L shape holding them you see in diagram. 110 were definitely too short.
