Lightweight EVA grip has a mini extension for choking up on steep slopes.
Breathable, moisture-wicking hand strap won't weigh you down.
Interchangeable non-marking rubber and carbide tips for a variety of terrain, with a stow bag.

The Black Diamond Women's Distance FL was built with the Ultalite female hiker/backpacker in mind. Built with durable lightweight aluminum and featuring their compactable FlickLock® Pro adjustability, the Black Diamond Women's Distance FL defines versatile support. Ideal for everything from backpacking to short day hikes, the Women's Distance FL's 20 cm (8") of adjustability lets you tweak the length of the pole for side-hilling and changing inclines. The speed cone deployment uses a coated inner Kevlar cord and conical shaft ends for quick and strong alignment. You simply grab the grip and the first shaft section, and pull them away from each other. The pole will snap into place and lock. Each speed cone guides a shaft section into place and stiffens the joint when the pole is locked. They also have a lightweight EVA foam grip with mini extension for quick choke-ups on steep inclines. The adjustable Padded Wrist Straps have a "soft-to-the-touch" strap lining for added comfort. They feature Interchangeable Tech Tips with WaveLock technology to easily switch from Rubber or Carbide tips depending on the terrain you are hiking on.

The light and strong 3-segment foldable shaft makes these way more packable than other trekking poles.
A FlickLock segment lets you adjust the height to your needs.
Comes with interchangeable rubber tech and carbide tech tips for whatever terrain you're on.
The stopper basket is just big enough to keep your pole from getting snagged without getting in the way, and has a catch to hold the poles together when folded.
Lightweight, women's specific EVA foam grips and plush-lined, moisture wicking straps keep your hands comfortable.
A non-slip foam mini-grip extension lets you grab the pole lower for side-hill hiking.
These are some of the best all around trekking poles on the market, now in a women's specific version.

Does the job

I originially bought these trekking poles thinking I would probably use them backpacking, but primarily as a means to pitch the tent I had just bought. I had never used trekking poles before, but I am so glad I have them now! My first backpacking adventure I somehow got off the trail and had to hike uphill through a foot of detritus to get back on the trail and my trekking poles made it so much easier!

I love how easy they are to adjust, probably my favorite thing about them. They are super comfortable to hold and sturdy. When I'm not using them they fold down and I can easily strap them on my pack.

Adjustable and Compact

Black Diamond really shines with the Distance FL Z-Poles. They combine the strength, weight savings, and compact size of fixed length poles and add just the right amount of adjustability. Perfect for hikers who camp with tarps- you can tension your shelter without hassle. They also excel when transitioning from uphill to downhill - just extend the upper segments and keep hiking.
