Why We Like The Alpine Carbon Z Trekking Poles

Made from 100% carbon fiber, the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Z Trekking Pole weighs in at a featherlight 17oz—that's per PAIR—and has a collapsible shaft for easy storage and travel. Interchangeable trekking and powder baskets make it easy to handle summertime hikes and winter trailbreaking, while the Flex Tech Tips let you use rubber for warm-weather missions and carbide for grip on snowy and icy surfaces. Somehow, Black Diamond also managed to work in a natural cork grip with an EVA foam extension and a breathable and moisture-wicking strap, all while making sure the Alpine Z weighed about as much as your beard.

Very lightweight but you sacrifice on quality

Love that these are snow basket compatible, but since I got them the little metal notch that you have to click in to extend/collapse has always given me problems. Not a deal breaker but annoying. They stow easily. They do not extend for the descent.

These are GREAT trekking poles. Light weight and easy to use/adjust. Used these to summit the big three in Socal during the summer. The cork in hot, humid heat while it performed well there was some slipping but in temperate weather, I have no doubt this will be a non-issue. I may just sweat more than the average person. Definitely recommend!

break too easy

They break way too easy for me. I have used them mainly for trekking in the alpine and have broken two so far.

Great poles

I got these poles to go with my split-board set up and am impressed by how little they are when broken down and how easy the transition is.

Light, tough trekking sticks that take beating

Great sticks. Used on an DIY Elk bow hunt for 10 days over 90 miles in the Rockies. Especially tested after having to manage through miles of heavy deadfall areas. The folding travel configuration very useful when wanting to move with a bow in hand. Worth every penny.

I have had these trekking poles for about three years and have used them on many trails and am happy to report they are essentially in the same condition as when they were brand new. I like these because they are super compact, light weight, and the cork handles feel really nice.

Good product.

The snow baskets are extremely difficult to get on and off. They need to be tight so they are not lost but this is a bit much. Hopefully mine is slightly out of tolerance and the rest are good to go. Others this is a great trekking pole and is very sturdy. I use them for backpack hunting and snowshoeing.

They’re Trekking Poles

Bought these for Mt Rainier, and they did what they’re supposed to do. I’m 5’9”, 175lbs and needed the 120cm. They helped me on the 5000ft climb through snow to Camp Muir. Put most of my weight on one or the other a couple of times and they barely flexed. I liked the fact that they folded neatly and fit into the external side pocket of my backpack. I also really liked the fact that they extended very easily and locked into place. Saw others on my team fumbling to extend their telescopic poles having to lock each catch. I would say that the only disadvantage is the fact that you have to make sure you purchase the correct length for your height. The telescopic poles adjust to your specific height, so there’s less guess work. Overall, pretty happy with them.

You won't regret it!

So light, so packable, so stiff! Readily fit on the outside or inside of your pack. Great for the descent off multipitch, class 3 scrambles. Best of the best in class!

Only polls i would use!

The fact that these come with snow cups is enough for me to recommend these polls to everyone i know. The other black diamond polls do not come with snow cups and it seems the sold separately snow cup attachment has been discontinued. Other than that, the cork handles feel very good in hand and the collapsing ability of these polls make them superb tools usable in any environment from the glacier to the desert.
