Whether you're bombing down technical singletrack or grinding up steep alpine approaches, the Black Diamond Distance FLZ Trekking Poles deliver the perfect balance of packability and performance for serious trail runners, backpackers, and day hikers. The innovative Z-fold design collapses these aluminum poles down to an incredibly compact 34-41cm, making them virtually disappear in your pack until you need the extra stability on variable terrain. Black Diamond's proven FlickLock Pro system provides rock-solid length adjustment without the fumbling, while the improved joint structure delivers enhanced stiffness when you're navigating technical descents or loose scree fields. The lightweight EVA foam grips feature mini-extensions that let you choke up for steep climbs, and the whole system weighs in at just 390-450g depending on size, so you'll barely notice them until that sketchy traverse where you'll be grateful for the extra points of contact.
