Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z FKT Poles
Whether you're tackling steep climbs or you're many hours into an ultra and need help staying upright (perhaps both), a pair of running poles can quickly become your closest friends. To make such close friends potential best friends, Black Diamond has included many innovative features into the ultralight Distance Carbon Z FKT running poles. Starting with the straps, BD has adopted a comfortable, extremely easy-to-detach approach. The FKT magnetic quick-connect system lets you wear the straps at all times, using a reliable magnet to quickly attach and detach with the flick of a switch, leading to swift transitions. The large hand strap helps distribute weight, creating an even distribution of force and increasing comfort over long periods of use. To deploy the poles quickly and reliably, BD implemented a speed cone system that brings the pole together in the blink of an eye (and a quick pull of the handle). The poles fold with the press of a small button, relieving tension in the system and allowing the user to fold the three segments into a pleasantly compact form.
