Trekking poles Black Diamond Pursuit Carbon Z, pair, telescopic 130 cm, anthracite/orange

Black Diamond Pursuit Carbon Z trekking poles are a pair of carbon folding walking poles designed for hiking, backpacking and general outdoor fitness. Each pole folds into a compact Z-shape for easy packing and quickly extends to a maximum length of 130 cm. Constructed from carbon fibre, these poles offer low weight and effective vibration damping while maintaining sufficient stiffness for stable support on trails. Ergonomic grips and adjustable wrist straps ensure secure handling during long walks, steep ascents and travel.

Advantages

The carbon construction reduces overall pole weight and helps absorb trail vibrations for a smoother feel and less arm fatigue. The Z-fold mechanism allows the poles to collapse into a compact package that fits into a pack or luggage without tools, while the simple locking system provides fast deployment and reliable length retention. Ergonomic grips improve hand comfort and reduce slippage, and adjustable straps distribute load to the wrist for improved control on varied terrain.

Suitable for

• Day hiking on mixed terrain
• Backpacking where compact storage is required
• Trekking and hill walking to reduce joint strain
• Travel and multidiscipline trips where lightweight gear matters

How to use

To deploy the poles, unfold the Z-fold sections until each segment locks into place, then extend to the required length and engage the locking mechanism. Adjust the wrist strap so the hand fits comfortably on the grip with the strap supporting part of the load. Use the poles with a slightly extended elbow angle; plant the tip ahead of your leading foot for downhill and level sections, and plant behind or alongside your foot for uphill support. After use, collapse the poles by releasing the locks, fold the sections together and secure them in their compact configuration for storage or transport.

Usage recommendations

For longest service life, rinse off dirt and grit after use, dry thoroughly before packing, and periodically inspect joints and locks. Replace worn tips and basket accessories as needed to maintain traction and protect the pole ends.
