The Women's Distance FLZ Black Diamond is a pole that has been specially designed for women.
Intended for hiking or trail running, it is light in the range of aluminum poles. This stick is a reference in the practice of ultra-trail. Featuring Z-Pole technology, it offers quick deployment and very compact storage when folded.
It features the FlickLock Pro adjustment system, locking the stick is fast, simple and reliable. Interchangeable, non-marking Tech Tips and a lightweight EVA foam grip improve grip and 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

The "FlickLock® Pro" adjustment system:

The FlickLock size adjustment system was designed with efficiency, compactness and ease of use in mind.
The FlickLock adjustment is top notch when it comes to fast styling and lightness.
Because the mountain requires reliable and resistant equipment, FlickLock technology offers safe, quick and simple adjustments and makes hours spent on the trail easier.
Based on the FlickLock®, the FlickLock® Pro revolutionizes the design of the adjustment system.
While retaining the benefits of FlickLock, the FlickLock Pro offers a space-saving stainless steel design that dramatically improves the level of locking quality, feel and strength.

The highlights of the FlickLock® Pro adjustment system are:
• A space-saving design
• A dual axle design for increased leverage and locking
• A high quality stainless steel construction designed to last

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.
