The Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z pole is the lightest unisex Z-pole in BD's range and is perfect for fast-paced adventures whether you are moving or running.

Made from 100% carbon and a slimmer diameter than the previous model, these poles are lighter than before, but retain the same level of durability.

The other key features are the foldable three-section design that deploys quickly and takes up minimal space when not in use. The strap is breathable and moisture wicking and the light weight EVA foam grip provides adequate comfort.

Included are both rubber and carbide tech tips and the poles have a low volume basket that can be upgraded separately with a Z-Pole Snow Basket.
