Among the most popular trekking poles with members of the Ultralight Community, the Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z poles start at just 9 ounces per pair—and feature a 100-percent carbon fiber construction that makes them incredibly strong for their weight. The foldable three-section design gives you fast deployment when you need it, while the breathable, moisture-wicking EVA grip ensures a secure hold. The joint's are now 30-percent stiffer and the locking mechanism and upper shaft have been reinforced for longevity. Whether you’re a fastpacker or an endurance runner, count on the interchangeable non-scarring rubber and carbide Tech Tips to provide stability on the toughest terrain.
