BLACK DIAMOND Distance Z Trekking Poles (Pair) — Ultralight 100% Aluminum, Foldable Z-Pole, 130 cm, Pewter

Compact, ultralight performance for trail runners and hikers

The BLACK DIAMOND Distance Z Trekking Poles bring a clean balance of speed and stability for on‑the‑move adventures. Offered in a Pewter finish and sold as a pair, these poles are built to ride light on the hands while delivering solid support when the trail pitches upward. They fold away neatly for easy stowage in a running vest or compact pack, and extend to a 130 cm reach when the terrain requires extra length. Whether you’re clipping over technical descents or pushing through long, steady climbs, this setup is designed to feel responsive without weighing you down.

Constructed with purpose, the poles emphasize strength and efficiency. The design avoids excessive hardware, prioritizing a rigid, fixed-length feel that helps you maintain a steady rhythm across rugged terrain. The three-section foldable construction enables rapid setup and compact packing, so you can transition from stairs to singletrack and back again with minimal interruption.

Fast deployment, rigid support

Three-section Z-Pole technology allows quick opening and secure closure, while the fixed-length configuration preserves rigidity and weight savings. The result is a confident, predictable platform that stays steady during fast ascents and tricky transitions, even as you switch pace or terrain.

Comfort, grip, and control

The EVA foam grip is designed for comfort over long days, with a breathable moisture-wicking strap to keep your hands dry. A non-slip mini-grip extension adds leverage on steep climbs and makes hand positioning seamless when you need to shift grip mid‑stride.

All-terrain versatility

Carbide Tech Tips deliver reliable traction on dirt, rock, and snow, while compatibility with rubber tips and snow baskets (sold separately) expands use across seasons. These poles are well suited to trail running, hiking, and fastpacking in a variety of environments.
