BLACK DIAMOND Distance Carbon Z Trekking Poles (Pair) – Ultralight Carbon Fiber, Z-Pole Folding, 125 cm – Ultra Blue

Meet the BLACK DIAMOND Distance Carbon Z Trekking Poles

Engineered for speed and steadiness, these poles fuse 100 percent carbon fiber with a striking Ultra Blue finish. Sized at 125 cm, they’re designed for mountain runners, hikers, and fastpackers who want reliable support without adding bulk to their kit.

Ultralight carbon performance

The ultralight carbon construction delivers a stiff, responsive feel with every step. They maintain a direct line of propulsion on steep climbs and fast descents, helping you keep momentum across long days on the trail.

Z-Pole folding technology for fast transitions

The three section design deploys quickly with a single pull and folds down compactly for travel. This makes it easy to stash in a backpack, harness, or travel bag, so you can switch between terrain with minimal gear fuss.

Rigid, reliable performance you can count on

With a fixed length, the poles deliver crisp rigidity and predictable performance on uneven ground. Fewer moving parts mean less potential for failure and a more direct connection to the trail, which can feel reassuring on rocky steps and switchbacks.

Comfort is another cornerstone of the Distance Carbon Z. The EVA foam grips are light and breathable, with moisture wicking straps that stay comfortable during long efforts. Mini grip extensions provide extra control on steep sections or when you need a shorter reach for switchbacks.

All terrain traction and versatility

Carbide tech tips bite into rock, dirt, and firm snow, while compatible interchangeable rubber tips and snow baskets let you tailor the setup for the season and the conditions you encounter on the road or trail.

What you might notice on the trail

• Feel of a slim, direct transfer of effort on climbs and during fast descents
