Black Diamond's "FLZ" (Flicklock-Z) poles combine an adjustable flicklock upper with three collapsible sections. This combo is a perfect solution for light and fast mountain travelers who need a pole that both packs down and can be adjusted depending on the slope angle encountered. Ingenious! Runners and trekkers will also appreciate the comfy EVA foam grip with Distance straps. Built from 100% aluminum, these poles are more rugged than carbon yet remain plenty lightweight. Thoughtfully, to prevent damage at the openings where these poles collapse, the joint angles have also been stiffened. Over the river and through the woods: regardless of the terrain, you'll appreciate having the Distance FLZ with you.
- Z-pole design with speed cone deployment collapses down for easy carriage.
- FlickLockĀ® upper facilitates 20cm of length adjustment.
- EVA foam comes with moisture-wicking strap made from recycled materials.
- Joint support and stiffness are optimized so the pole is extra sturdy top to bottom.
- Removable low-profile running baskets allow the user to customize swing weight.
- Compatible with Z-Pole Snow Baskets for multi-season versatility.
- Interchangeable tech tips accept rubber or carbide, better for solid or coarse surfaces respectively.
