Story & heritage
Black Diamond calls the Distance Carbon Z its lightest Z-Pole, engineered for those who travel fast.
The line sits squarely in the company’s mountain-products footprint of trekking poles and mountain equipment.
Materials & craft
Official copy specifies 100% carbon construction and a three-section foldable design for fast-response deployment.
The product gallery supports the technical story with closeups of the folding joints, grip and tip hardware.
How to choose & style
Carry them for mountain runs, long ultras and steep fastpacking days where poles need to disappear quickly on rolling terrain.
The folded silhouette is compact enough for a running vest or side pocket.
