Why We Like The Distance Z Trekking Pole

The Distance Z Trekking Pole is Black Diamond's value-packed trekking pole that doesn't slack. Its strong aluminum design is light, weighing well under a pound per pair. Breathable EVA grips and adjustable straps make it easy to clutch while ensuring it won't slide away if take a tumble. Plus, the Distance Z features the same collapsible design as the other Z-series poles—a button releases the sections for stowing, and an avy-probe pull grip slides it back together when we're ready to set off.

Perfect Trekking poles

If youre looking for good quality, lightweight and easily packable poles. Then this is the one for you. I chose these for how compact they can become for traveling and I love everything about them. Store them in your carry on and dont worry about having to rent anything if you travel out of your area!

Eh

These poles are pretty flimsy, and black diamond will not honor their warranty. I bent mine the other day and they told me they couldn't do anything about it.

Light and sturdy. Better locking

Light and sturdy. Better locking mechanism then the previous generation that lasted me 7 years of constant use.

Awesome*

Love that they are so lightweight and easy to deploy, but wish that the wrist straps were a little wider and(or) more supportive for long steep ascents. In addition, I would prefer that the grip was a little larger diameter with a larger top for more comfortable palming on descents

Light and Packable

I use these poles for so many things. Hiking, running, setting up shelters, and more. They are light, versatile, and very packable.

Great light poles

I am really happy with these trekking poles. I had an older model I bought many moons ago and one finally broke when I took a tumble while snowshoeing. Not a fault on the manufacturer, gear breaks and these things lasted me close to 10 years with many mountains under their belt. I need to use them pretty much anytime I’m doing something technical since I have some neurological problems and balance isn’t always on point. I like how light and strong these are and they’re simple to put together or breakdown. Strongly recommend these for long treks or running.

Great while they work

They are excellent until they get the slightest bit dirty. Then they get stuck and it's impossible to get them unstuck. Tried to get them out of my quiver during a race and was unable to. Cleaned them and used them one more time before one pole got stuck to the point I could not get them extended at all. Work great while they're brand new, but I would not recommend them for anyone who plans to do a lot of trail running or intends to rely on them in an ultra race.
