"Just 4 days after receiving my poles I used them on a trail near Vail Pass, Colorado to see the Fall leaves We hiked 5 miles with 1400ft elevation gain. On the way up they rode along fastened to my daypack. With the small size folded and light weight I didn’t even notice them there. Heading down, earlier showers made the surface more challenging to navigate - the perfect opportunity to use my new poles!"
"These poles are great. They're very compact when folded and they fold & unfold easily. They can be quickly extended for a steep downhill stretch. My only complaint is that I can't remove the straps, but that's only a slight inconvenience. (With an earlier version of Z-pole it was easy to remove the straps. )"
"It was so hard to find collapsible poles for hiking, adjustable length, aluminum, plus cork handles. This fit the bill and performed exactly as I wanted!"
"J’ai utilisé les bâtons FLZ trekking poles pour un voyage de randonnée au Yukon, Canada. Les sentiers étaient exigeants et demandaient aux randonneurs un équipement à la hauteur des difficultés, ce que les bâtons Black Diamond peuvent offrir. Je vais reprendre mon activité ici au Québec cet automne et mes bâtons me seront très utiles."
"I have never had trekking poles before these. But these worked great for needs. I did have to buy a competitor bag for them, as I could not find one for black diamond poles. These will not work well if you are wanting to strap them to your hiking bag. Because they fold it makes them a little cumbersome to attach that way. At least with a kelty bag. Otherwise they work great!"
"Pole broke within the first 5km of my 75km hike and it’s likely several weeks before they “may” send replacements. For $200+ poles I expect better."
"Im using these for local and far away adventures. I chose these because they seem like a workhorse and fold up small."
"Light, durable, and easy to travel with."
"I love these poles and how compact they fold to carry in my suitcase. My only complaint is the straps irritate or rub on my palms a little after using for hours."
"Great choice for my first time running witg poles and having long legs!"
