Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Poles

$349.99

The Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Poles are fixed-length, folding carbon trail running poles. They are Black Diamond's lightest Z-poles, with a slimmer shaft than earlier versions, for runners who value low weight and a tiny packed size.

  • Slimmer shaft than older models cuts weight and bulk.
  • Fold to a short, vest-friendly length.
  • Speed-cone deployment gets them going quickly.
  • A soft strap made from recycled materials wicks sweat.
  • Shaft: 100% carbon fibre
  • Construction: Z-pole, fixed length, speed-cone deployment
  • Lengths: 105, 110, 115, 120, 125 and 130cm
  • Collapsed length: 35cm (105cm) to 44cm (130cm)
  • Weight per pair: 256g (105cm) to 296g (130cm)
  • Grip: EVA Lite foam with grip extension
  • Strap: Recycled nylon
  • Tips: Interchangeable carbide and rubber Tech Tips included
  • Baskets: Removable low-profile baskets, Z-Pole Snow Basket compatible
  • Trail runners who want a light, fixed-length pole
  • Ultras and long days where poles go in and out of the vest
  • Runners who know their ideal pole length

Less suited to: Runners who share poles or want to change length on the go, or want magnetic strap speed. For that, look at adjustable and FKT poles.

Fixed length means fewer moving parts, and the slimmer shaft keeps the weight down. We like it as the simple, light pole for runners who have already worked out their size.
