Why We Like The Distance Carbon FLZ Trekking Pole
As any seasoned pro like us knows, weight can make or break a distance hike, but equally necessary for efficiency with a large pack is a trekking pole or two. The Distance Carbon FLZ Trekking Poles are made from carbon fiber, which keeps the weight down but keeps strength and durability up. Twenty centimeters of adjustable length makes them versatile as well, so we can fine-tune their size to match the terrain.
A lightweight EVA handle and foam extension doesn't add much in the way of ounces, but it does add all day comfort during 20 mile days, and the foam is moisture-wicking as well, so there'll be no case of clammy hands slipping on a steep slope. The Carbon FLZ comes complete with interchangeable carbide and rubber Tech Tips, too, so we can confidently cross from grassy valley to rocky scree slope without batting an eye.

Arizona must have!
Would not hike without these trekking poles. I hike in Arizona in the Superstition Wilderness area. These poles are amazing; lightweight and yet robust, and having the ability to quickly and easily fold down and stow in the backpack is a must. The terrain here is very rocky, and they really hold up to a lot of abuse. The price tag is steep, but these are worth it.

just had knee surgery and
just had knee surgery and on the snowy streets of town they have been great. They pack down small and fit into my day bag for work, they will surly work well on and off trail this coming summer and next fall. They will be awesome for high elevation elk hunting in WY, and all the training(read backcountry golden trout fishing) during the summer

Type 2 fun assistant
Currently approx. 200km used with these poles. Plenty of 12km-25km runs and a 50km run full of river crossings and rugged mountain terrain. An easy transition from my old hiking poles (z fold alpine carbon cork). These poles are compact, feather light and have thus far put up with the abuse and surprisingly have very minimal sacrifice on the strength spectrum. I’ll chalk it up to some form of wizardry. All in all extremely satisfied and confident that I have a top product on the market and in the industry.
