Black Diamond Distance Z Poles

Light, packable, and ready to move, the Black Diamond Distance Z Poles are a smart pick for trail runners and hikers who want extra stability without slowing the pace. The Z-Pole design collapses quickly, while the Distance strap, EVA foam grip, and aluminium shaft create a comfortable, confident feel on mixed terrain.

Fast-Folding Distance Z Poles For Big Effort Days

Built for climbs, descents, and route changes, these poles are easy to stash and dependable when the terrain gets spicy. The fixed-length construction helps keep the swing consistent, and the stiff shaft profile supports a stable plant on long mountain outings. Black Diamond also pairs the setup with 7075 aluminium shafts, Speed Cone Z-Pole deployment, and a breathable Distance strap made with recycled materials.

Comfort, Control, And A Cleaner Carry

The grip shape and foam extension help keep hand placement comfortable through sustained efforts, while the compact fold makes them simple to manage between hiking sections, aid-station transitions, or steeper climbs. Interchangeable tech tips, low-profile removable baskets, and Z-Pole Snow Basket compatibility add useful versatility across changing conditions. Available in 100, 110, 120, and 130 cm sizes, the system is easy to match to the route and season.

For runners who want mountain-ready support with a tidy carry, the Distance Z Poles stand out for fast-moving days. Add them to your kit and head out for the next climb, ridgeline, or all-day adventure.
