Trekking pole Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z-Pole, carbon shaft, foldable Z-fold, 296 g, 44–130 cm

Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z-Pole is a foldable trekking pole with a carbon shaft designed for hiking and trekking. The pole collapses to 44 cm for compact transport, extends to 130 cm for use, and weighs 296 g, making it suitable for activities where low weight and packability are important.

Advantages
