Alpine Carbon Z Poles 2017 Black Diamond

The Alpine Carbon Z Black Diamond poles made of 100% carbon are extremely light and robust poles.
They have been designed for seasoned walkers with heavily loaded packs, who require high-performance and solid support on the trails.
Featuring Z-Pole technology, the pole features rapid deployment for even more efficient use. This system guarantees extremely compact storage inside the bag.
Offering optimal comfort thanks to the cork handle, an increased level of resistance, these poles are intended for long approaches and extended days in the high mountains.

The Z-Pole Rapid Deployment System:

Cone deployment technology is inspired by Black Diamond's know-how in avalanche probes, it is an essential component of the robustness, stability and speed of deployment of Z-Pole poles.
Just grab the handle and the top end of the pole and then pull them each in an opposite direction. The stick snaps into place and locks.
Each Rapid Deployment Cone is used to guide and position one strand of the stick and then to secure the junction when the stick is locked.
Soft protective end caps cover the central Kevlar cable of the pole when folded.

The Z-Pole Rapid Deployment System has three unique elements:
• An invisible internal cord/cable
• A simple push button to fold the strand
• One-step rapid cone deployment

Help with choosing the size of the Z-Pole sticks:

For walking, hiking and carrying, where the criteria of stability and support are a priority: choose a pole size slightly larger than the one that suits you.
