Trekking poles Black Diamond Distance Carbon 110 cm Blue — foldable carbon poles, 110 cm length

Black Diamond Distance Carbon 110 cm Blue are foldable carbon trekking poles designed for fastpacking, trail running and lightweight hiking. These poles feature a fixed 110 cm length when assembled, a multi-section folding design for compact transport, and a carbon shaft construction that balances stiffness and low weight. The blue finish identifies the model and the ergonomic grips and reliable locking system provide stable performance on variable terrain.

Advantages

The carbon construction delivers a high stiffness-to-weight ratio that reduces fatigue during long moves while preserving responsiveness on uneven ground. The foldable multi-section design allows the poles to collapse into a compact package for easy packing with minimal added bulk. Ergonomic grips improve comfort and hand control during sustained use, and the locking mechanism ensures the assembled length remains stable under load. The overall combination of low weight, packability and rigidity makes these poles suitable for speed-focused activities.

Suitable for

• Fastpacking and ultralight hiking where minimal weight and compact storage are priorities
• Trail running on technical or undulating routes requiring periodic pole use
• Day hikes and approaches where quick deployment and compact carry are useful
• Backcountry travel where reduced bulk and reliable support are desired

Key specifications

• Fixed assembled length: 110 cm

• Design: multi-section foldable construction for compact storage
• Grip: ergonomic hand grips for improved comfort and control
• Locking: secure locking system to maintain length under load
• Finish: blue exterior coating
• Intended use: lightweight hiking, trail running and fastpacking

How to use

Unfold the pole sections and extend to the fixed 110 cm length until the locking mechanism engages. Ensure each joint is fully seated and the lock is engaged before applying weight. Use the ergonomic grip to control pace and rhythm; plant the pole slightly ahead of the body to assist balance and propulsion. When moving on steep or technical terrain, adjust planting angle and cadence to match the slope and surface conditions. For transport or storage, collapse the pole sections into the folded configuration and secure them to your pack or inside gear to prevent tangling.

Usage recommendations

Inspect joints and locking mechanisms before each outing; clean and dry after exposure to mud or salt to maintain performance. Replace worn tips or baskets as needed for traction and longevity. Avoid exposing carbon shafts to concentrated impacts or prolonged UV exposure to preserve structural integrity.
