Distance Carbon Z Trekking/Running Poles

No, the Distance Carbon Z poles are fixed-length. Because they use a Z-pole folding design to prioritize weight savings and rapid deployment, you must choose the specific size that matches your height before purchasing.

These are optimized for speed, trail running, and fast-packing where every ounce counts. While they are durable, they are not designed for the heavy loads or aggressive terrain typical of traditional multi-day backpacking with a heavy pack.

The poles feature an internal Kevlar cord that connects the three carbon sections. To deploy, you simply release the sections and pull them until they snap into place, allowing you to set them up or pack them away in seconds.

Yes, the rubber tech tips are replaceable. Over time, the rubber will wear down with use on abrasive surfaces, and you can easily swap them out to maintain traction.

These specific poles are designed for trekking and running on trails, so they do not include snow baskets. They are best suited for three-season use rather than deep winter or backcountry skiing.

Yes, the EVA foam is chosen specifically for its lightweight, moisture-wicking properties. It provides a soft, secure hold that helps prevent hand fatigue and chafing during long, high-intensity efforts.
