BLACK DIAMOND Distance Z Trekking Poles (Pair) – Ultralight 100% Aluminum, Foldable Z‑Pole, Pewter, 100 cm

Ultralight performance for runners and hikers

The BLACK DIAMOND Distance Z Trekking Poles arrive as a purpose-built pair for speed-focused adventures on mixed terrain. Crafted from 100% aluminum, they marry strength with minimal weight, and the pewter finish helps reduce glare under bright skies while maintaining a sleek, durable look that pairs well with any kit.

Fast setup, steady support, compact storage

Designed around a three-section foldable Z-Pole system, these poles deploy in seconds and collapse into a compact size that fits neatly in running vests or minimalist packs. The fixed-length construction trims hardware to deliver predictable rigidity and clean, efficient weight savings when you push through fast ascents or technical sections.

• ULTRALIGHT ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION: 100% aluminum delivers high strength with low weight, ideal for ultralight hikers and endurance runners.
• FAST-DEPLOYING Z-POLE TECHNOLOGY: Three-section foldable design allows rapid setup and compact storage for travel and minimalist adventures.
• FIXED-LENGTH PERFORMANCE: Eliminates extra hardware for maximum rigidity and efficient weight savings on demanding terrain.
• COMFORTABLE EVA FOAM GRIP: Lightweight grip with a breathable, moisture-wicking strap; includes a non-slip mini-grip extension for steep climbs.
• VERSATILE ALL-TERRAIN USE: Carbide Tech Tips deliver reliable traction on dirt, rock, and snow; compatible with rubber tips and snow baskets (sold separately).

On the trail, you’ll notice how the grip feels in the palm after a long climb, how the strap wicks sweat, and how the poles stay balanced as you traverse loose gravel or slick rock. The design prioritizes a responsive feel without sacrificing stability, so you can maintain tempo through changing conditions. Seasonal versatility is built in: you can pair the carbide tips with optional rubber tips or snow baskets to adapt to snow, mud, or dry trails, making these poles a practical companion for year-round adventures.

Whether you’re fastpacking a ridge, carving a fast-paced trail run, or simply seeking steady support on technical descents, the Distance Z Poles offer a reachable, credible option for staying light on your feet. They’re not a guarantee of performance, but they’re engineered to help you feel prepared, confident, and in control as you cover ground you love.
