Black Diamond Distance Carbon FLZ Running Pole


No Longer Carry


The Distance Carbon FLZ Poles are a best-in-class, top-dog, trend-setting set of sticks. The top section of these 100% carbon poles is adjustable for length, providing some maneuverability for the different vertical profiles encountered on excursions in the mountains. Interchangeable tech tips accept either rubber or carbide options, a handy switcheroo that can happen depending on what you plan to encounter on the trail. Z-pole snow baskets are also fully compatible, so these poles are ready to provide support on snowy surfaces as well. When it comes time to stow these away, the FLZ collapses down into three pack-ready compact sections. If you had to use a single running pole through all the seasons on all types of terrain, the Carbon FLZ would be an excellent choice.

  • EVA foam grip and Distance strap wick moisture and fit comfortably around the wrists.
  • 100% carbon fiber shafts are rigid and lightweight.
  • Z-pole design with speed-cone deployment speaks to the collapsible nature of these poles as they are prepared to be strapped to, or stowed in a pack.
  • FlickLockĀ® Pro enables 15cm of adjustability, perfect for transitions from flats to steeps.
  • Removable low-profile baskets allow for swing weight adjustment, while snow basket compatibility helps runners prepare for the alpine.
  • Joint support and pole stiffness have been optimized to maximize energy efficiency.
