Distance Carbon Z Poles 2017 Black Diamond

The Distance Carbon Z Black Diamond made of 100% carbon is extremely light. The pair weighs only 290 g in 120 cm.
This pole is intended for practitioners of long distance courses who are looking for performance. Equipped with Z-Pole technology, it offers rapid deployment without wasting any time and very compact storage when folded.
It has interchangeable and non-marking Tech Tips, as well as a light and adherent EVA foam handle (very good grip).

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.
• For racing, where the uphill propulsion criterion is a priority: choose a pole size slightly smaller than the one that suits you.
