Most Helpful Positive Review Very lightweight
These poles are lighter and easier to use than expected. The grips are very comfortable. My only concerns are the durability of the carbon and also the durability of the straps. The straps appear to be easy to field repair, however. I'm very happy with the initial inspection, but will owe another review after I test them for a few days on the AT.

Very light and beautiful hiking poles!

by misomom, from DE, United States Written on August 27, 2021
Aluminum or duralumin is heavy, so I didn't take it with me when I went to a low mountain. Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Trekking Poles is very light! It's so nice because it's three-step controlled and portable. I always carry it around and go hiking. The design is pretty, too. I recommend it!

Amazing Improvement

by Belovich, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on April 2, 2020
I have an earlier Black Diamond Z (Ultra Mountain Carbon) trekking pole (probably five years old). The new version I recently purchased (Distance Carbon Z) is truly remarkable. It is so enjoyable to watch a product improve with each model. It is a testament to the Black Diamond mission. The Distance Carbon Z poles are just as strong, but so much lighter, sleeker, and more collapsible. These traits are reflected in that the poles are thinner, the hand grips and straps are less bulky, and the stopper basket is smaller. On a recent lengthy hike, the poles were so feather-weight that their presence was practically indiscernible.
Pros:
  • strength, weight, packability
Cons:
  • NONE
Best Used for:
  • fast and light hiking, strenous backpacking
Would recommend: Yes
