Black Diamond Distance Carbon Trekking/Running Poles
THE DISTANCE CARBON FROM BLACK DIAMOND ARE THE PERFECT TREKKING POLES FOR MOUNTAIN SPORTS
Designed in collaboration with BD Athlete Joe Grant, the fixed-length Distance Carbon weighs in at only 89 grams per pole (120 cm), making it the lightest pole we've ever produced. The touchpoints are minimal, though carefully placed, such as the subtle mid-shaft ring for balance and grip while carrying the pole horizontally. The ultralight EVA grip has just the right amount of comfort and the poles utilise removable low-profile baskets for ultimate versatility. Simply put, the Distance Carbon is engineered to move, whether you're 10 hours into an ultra, or linking peaks in fast and light style.

WHAT WE THINK
Okay, these Black Diamond Distance Carbon Fixed Trekking Poles are light as a feather. Seriously, if you’re trying to save weight for a long-distance hike or a fastpacking trip, these are a great choice. The carbon fibre construction means you’re not dragging anything heavy along, which is awesome when you’re counting every gram.
We love the simplicity of the fixed-length poles. There’s something about not having to mess around with adjustments on the fly. These Black Diamond Distance Carbon Fixed Trekking Poles are about as light as you can get for full-on trekking poles, and we can really feel the difference when moving fast over long distances. The carbon fibre keeps them light without sacrificing the strength needed to power through technical sections.
if you’re someone who likes to adjust your pole length frequently—like when you’re going up a steep incline or need more support downhill—the fixed length can be a bit of a drawback so that's something to consider. -
