Less suited to: Racing where every gram and every second counts, or when you want a fixed-length pole with less to go wrong. For that, look at our trail running poles.

An adjustable pole usually means extra weight and a lock that slips. The FlickLock+ on the FLZ keeps weight sensible while letting you dial in length. It is our pick for runners who want flexibility rather than a pure race pole.
