The Black Diamond Distance FLZ is a flick-locked, 3 section trekking pole ideal for long hikes, steep approaches, and even for supporting your tarp-shelter.
Refined and rebuilt - the Black Diamond trekking pole series have evolved! Combining the amazing packability of a 3-section Z-Pole with the adjustability of FlickLock Pro, the Black Diamond Distance FLZ poles are a mainstay for hard-hitting mountain athletes. Pole-locking is secure, fast and easy, and a three-section foldable design allows for fast-response deployment. The lightweight aluminium design is strong and durable and was built for the mountains.

How to Measure: On flat ground, the top of the trekking pole handle should be at waist or hip level and your elbow at approximately 90 degrees. For walking, hiking and backpacking: Stability and support matter most. Size up if you're right on a size cusp. For running: Uphill propulsion matters most. Size down if you're right on the size cusp.
The video below details all the improvements made by Black Diamond to the Distance series of poles.
Z-Pole Rapid Deployment System
Speed Cone technology comes from Black Diamonds expertise in avalanche probe design—a key component of Z-Poles' stiffness and fast deployment. 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. Protective, flexible tube ends cover the pole’s Kevlar® centre cord when folded.

Great poles, the feel very sturdy I’ve used them multiple times and they feel solid but are very light weight. Comfortable in the hand as well. Very happy with these.
So glad I bought these poles. They’re so light and fold down and open so quickly. Me and my partner used one each, as we’ve never used poles before. Even with one they were really useful when we found ourselves taking a wrong turn down a ravine, with some slippy rocks covered in autumn leaves. Also gave us the ability to go for longer and climb steeper hills, as knees didn’t get as tired. Would definitely recommend these poles.They’re pricey but they’re worth it. I read alot of reviews that said the same!
