The Distance Carbon Z is Black Diamond's lightest Z-Pole engineered for those who travel fast. With 100% carbon construction, the Distance Carbon Z features a three-section foldable design that allows for fast-response deployment. Black Diamond has slimmed down the diameter of the poles, shaving weight and bulk without sacrificing durability. The lightweight and supportive Distance strap is breathable and moisture wicking, the ultralight EVA grip has just the right amount of comfort and non-scarring rubber Tech Tips round out this piece as the ultimate in lightweight detail-driven pillar of pole technology.

Good to train arms in hills before the ski season. Bought 125cm at 183cm, but could have been 130cm as the straps can be lengthened for a lower hold.

In use, a good and light pole for ultra distances. Compared to the previous generation model of the same product line, however, the overall quality (at least in my pair) is weaker: 1) at first the locking button tends to slide back into the frame and the locking of the rod to the full length fails in the middle of use, 2) after longer use (for me approx. 300 km) the buttons got stuck inside the rod body, i.e. they could no longer be unlocked without careful tapping with tools and 3) because unlocking it is difficult, I kept it at full length for longer periods of time. As a result, some of the joints got stuck so that I can no longer fold the poles together. IF I still used these rods, I would be oiling the moving parts paranoidally often. In practice, I ended up trying a competing brand.

Nice product and fast delivery
Rubber paws should be included for asphalt walking. It wasn't.
We didn't get the colors we ordered. We ordered the shiny turquoise blue ones, but the ugly, not shiny ones came. That's what I'm most disappointed about.
We had to wait two months for the rods to be delivered, even though they were supposed to come in less than a month.
