What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I love these for races and big mountain runs where I need poles but also need to stash them quickly. The glove-strap system makes them super fast to deploy, and the Z-fold packs down small so I can carry them when the terrain doesn’t call for poles. Light, stiff, and efficient."When efficiency and speed matter most, we count on the Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z FKT Trekking Poles. Designed for racing, ultra-distance efforts, and fast alpine pushes, these poles combine a lightweight carbon build with the compact packability of a Z-fold design.The innovative glove-strap interface makes deployment nearly instantaneous, connecting securely into the pole and releasing with a simple button press. With a 100% carbon shaft, these poles deliver stiffness and efficient power transfer without unnecessary weight. EVA foam grips with breathable straps add comfort, while interchangeable tech tips and included baskets adapt them for year-round use. Packable, ultralight, and lightning fast to deploy, the Distance Carbon Z FKT Poles set the standard for speed in the mountains.
