Built with durable lightweight aluminum and featuring both their compactable and FlickLock® adjustability, the Black Diamond Distance FL defines versatile support. Ideal for everything from backpacking to short day hikes, the Distance FL's 20 cm of adjustability lets you tweak the length for sidehilling and changing inclines. Much like their avalanche probes, their speed cone deployment employs a coated inner Kevlar cord and conical shaft ends for quick and strong alignment. You simply grab the grip and the first shaft section, and pull them away from each other. The pole will snap into place and lock. Each speed cone guides a shaft section into place and stiffens the joint when the pole is locked. They also have a lightweight EVA grip with mini extension for quick choke-ups on steep inclines and interchangeable tips for variable trail surfaces.
  • Aluminum shafts
  • 3-section folding design with speed cone deployment and FlickLock adjustment
  • Z-Pole technology allows the poles to have an extremely short pack length and makes them very compact.
  • The FlickLock offers simple, easy pole adjustment. To adjust the pole you "flick" the lock open with your finger, slide the section to where you want it and press the lock closed for solid and sure adjustments.
  • Lightweight EVA foam grip and breathable, moisture-wicking strap
  • Non-slip foam mini grip extension for secure choke ups
  • Includes interchangeable, non-marking Z-pole Rubber Tips, Z-poleCarbide Tips and stow bag
  • Stopper basket with shaft catcher secures folded sections
  • Color: Gold and Silver
  • Import.

      I use these poles for hiking the Adirondack Mountains. There is varied terrain and these poles are great for stability and you hike the trails. They adjust easy and are sturdy. The grip is comfortable also. I liked that the poles came with different tips and a storage bag also.

      Excellent Trekking Poles

        Comments about Black Diamond Distance FL Z-Pole Trekking Poles:

        We tested our Black Diamond collapsible trekking poles on three hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park: Ouzel Falls, Balanced Rock and Deer Mountain. On the flats we strapped them to the bottoms of our day packs where their collapsed size and light weight made them virtually unnoticeable. We put them in play with a very quick assembly process and then would shorten them for uphills and lengthen them for downhills. The bottom line was better hiking stability on rocky and muddy and sandy trails, less joint wear, and more energy leftover at the end of the day. You could say we liked 'em.

                  I am unsure of what length would be best for me and thought you might offer some guidance.

                  Which size of the BD Distance FL z-pole would you advise for me? Thanks -

                    If you go to the manufacturer's website under the product itself in the tech specs will have a sizing chart to assist you in your purchase. It's an excellent chart to figure out what you need when the size of the pole is fixed.

                    Generally you want to adjust these so when you are walking your elbow is bent at a 90 degree angle on flat ground. A longer adjustment when walking down hill and a shorter adjustment when climbing.
