Distance Carbon Z Poles

Enhance the Run

These poles are great. I just upgraded to the carbon set. They enhance the run by utilizing upper body conditioning and add support for ascending and descending. It actually increases my speed going uphill.

Awesome poles, just know their limits.

There are the best poles out there, for running and speed ascents. Being carbon they will break under load. Aluminum will bend a bit. I broke a pole trying to self belay when I got caught sliding. I bought another pair though because I think they are worth it.

Packed and forgotten

Overall these are a great set poles to have. They fold up real short and weigh barely anything. If I dont even plan to use them, I'll still pack them because I dont even notice them. They disappear in the pack. They are simple to use and do the trick. I have not changed the tips or the baskets out. Im sure there wont be a problem there. But one of my poles seems to click every time weight is placed on it. Thats been my only annoyance with these Distance Carbon Z Poles.
