Trekking Poles

I love my BD trekking poles. They're very sturdy and light weight. I couldn't have asked for a better set of poles. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves the outdoors. Best product of the decade!

First Time User

I've been running trails now for the past several years, as it's much easier on my body in general nowadays. I live in a mountainous, hilly area and have never used trekking poles before until I recently signed up to run/hike an event next year where they might come in handy. After some research, I bought a pair of the Black Diamond Distance FLZ Trekking/Running Poles. I've used them a few times already and I am quite pleased. Being new to the concept, they were easy to use right out of the box. They expand and break-down easily and are quite compatible with my hydro pack. They seem to be solid so far as I trek up any hills I encounter, which usually consist of dirt, sand, and a lot of rocks. They are a great help as I climb, taking a lot of stress off my legs. I look forward to testing them out on some steeper declines. I'm still working on how to best stow and retrieve them from my pack while I am hiking/running (learning curve). I have already recommended this brand/product to a co-worker who will be running the event with me. I highly recommend these poles to anyone getting into the concept of using them and look forward to using mine more in continued training.

You Deserve These Poles

I love these poles. Super light and easy to pack, but also really durable. Sorry to my tried and true Yeti poles, you are now my loaner pair.

Great Poles, Worked As Expected

Trialed these on a trail run recently, and loved them. Nothing crazy (16km, +4200 ft), but some decently technical terrain at parts. Super easy to set up and collapse, and the wrist straps were super comfy.

Received incentive

From Snapped Carbon To Solid Aluminum

After snapping a pair of the carbon version (my fault, not theirs), I switched to the aluminum Black Diamond Distance FLZ Trekking Poles and haven’t looked back. Yes, they’re a bit heavier, but the durability is worth it. The collapse mechanism is quick, the grips are comfortable, and the poles feel planted on rocky scrambles and muddy climbs. I saw a few reviews saying the flip lock can pop off—hasn’t happened to me. Mine have stayed secure and consistent mile after mile. Overall, rock-solid poles I actually trust to finish the hike with me.

Great Poles

This is my second pair of these poles. I used my last pair for about 10 years. They are sturdy, light, and fold up small which works great for travel.

Super Light And Portable

I got this for hard and long climbing approaches. I am able to pack it in my backpack and out of the way while doing multipitch climbs. I like how easy it is to collapse and extend. I hope it lasts as long as my previous set of BD poles.

Super Light And Easy To

Super light and easy to flip open even mid hike/run. I have only used them once but excited for more

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked well! No regrets. Light and easy to carry. Recommend.

Great, Lightweight Poles.

Took them on their first run in Grand Teton. Very impressed, fit perfectly with the distance pack. Definitely recommend

Perfect Poles!

These poles have been great so far! They are light weight yet durable and collapse to such a compact size. I really appreciate that they have a size adjustment feature so I can get them to the exact length I want. Love them!

Flz Distance Trekking Poles

I love my flz poles! They are light weight, easy to use, and super convenient! When traveling, they are a must!

Great Upgrade!

This was my first upgrade from big box club store trekking poles. So worth the investment. Comfortable, durable, and lightweight. Wish they came with a strap to keep them together while stored on pack.

Works As Hoped

I have only had the pokes out in two long days but so far they are exactly what I wanted. They are light weight and easy to use and collapse quite small.

Good For 3000+ Miles

These are replacements for poles that I had for more than 3000 miles. These poles lasted through many adventures in the desert Southwest and through the mountains in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. I watched all of my fellow hikers on the Appalachian Trail go through 2 to 6 pairs of trekking poles, but my poles lasted until after the 2200 miles traveled to Katahdin. They broke on the descent. I loved those trekking poles and I am thankful I had them!
