Ideal for three seasons

by DANIEL D., from SANTA FE, Argentina Updated on December 1, 2014
This is my second pair of Ultra-distance. For lightweight trekking are the best to be resistant and very low weight. Very comfortable. I bought this second pair because I stepped on with my crampons and of course broke. I replaced it with the Ultra Carbon Mountain, much more suitable for snow and ice for its hardness and larger rosette, but heavy to wear in summer. With the hea...

Super Light!

by Tyler, Updated on August 29, 2014
These poles are awesome! They are one of the lightest verions of trekking poles on the market. Built out of carbon-fiber, these things pack small and carry light. I'm 5'6" and decided to go with the 120cm length. I tend to use my poles for the hike out from basecamp more than the hike in and wanted a little extra length for the slight decline on the way out. These poles are not...

Bomb Poles!!!

by Tyler, Updated on August 29, 2014
Love these poles. They are super lightweight but stronger than an ox. Love the z-pole design and can even adjust the tension of the inner cord if they loosen over time. Black Diamond knows how to produce a quality trekking pole. I'm 5'6" and went with the 120cm length as opposed to the next smaller length. Since these poles don't adjust, getting the right length is important. I...

Lightning Strikes Twice w/these Z poles

by CMountains, from CA, United States Updated on August 29, 2014
Climbed Mount Whitney from Cottonwood meadows, New Army Pass, Rock Creek, Crabtree out to Whitney Portal. These poles are light and quick to hike with, adding speed to your pace. I recommend these over adjustable ones because of their added strength. I lost my footing a couple time and placed all my weight on the poles, they did well, other poles probably would have collapsed.

Questions & Answers for Black Diamond Ultra Distance Z-Poles
Q How do you determine the correct size for a non-adjustable trekking pole? What size would work for a 6 ft man?
A

Between 5'5" and 5'11" 120 cm long poles are advised, while 6'0"+ call for 130 cm poles. Ultimately, the heights vary between individuals; in order to be sure of the right fit, make sure the handles come up to about wait level.

Q My dad was 6 foot on the nose, but as you get older he is shrinking. I believe he is 5'11"ish now. Should he be sized for the 120 as it's end size is 5'11", or should I stick to the 130?
A
Expert Answer

Ultimately you 'd like to have a pole length where your arm is parallel to the ground when you're holding the handle. At 5' 11" he will likely need a 130 cm.

Q How do I chose the right size for me? I'm 5'5"
A
Expert Answer

Optimal height will be a configuration where your arms are parallel to the ground when you hold the pole. Based on your height, it sounds like a 110 cm pole would be best.
