Thanks! I bought them here in Australia and they are way more AUD350 (USD236). I've upgraded from some cheap FIZAN poles, and the difference is quite noticeable. I'd add that the design has probably changed a little, the button looks larger on mine and doesn't look like it'll be a problem. Time will tell. I was also encouraged to see that you thump the poles ion to give you leverage, I was doing that with the old poles and got that uncomfortable "wonga wonga wonga" feel. Heading out with them in 6 days on a tough day hike!

Thanks for the great review! I have a pair of BD carbon z poles and I love their super light weight. I'm not a serious hiker and only pull them out of my backpack when I trek difficult terrain. I found the light weight and short length after folding so great that I'll stick with BD z poles. By the way, my carbon z poles (bought August 2022) sport an oval shaped lock button, giving me a lot of more room to place my thumb for the unlock push motion. It has made a BIG difference.

At last an honest user review. To many 'reviews' from shops just trying to sell the product. Very helpful.

Is the additional cost of the carbon fibre worth it over the aluminium version? Do you really notice the weight difference? Is there any difference in durability? Thanks

I have just bought a set of aluminium FLZ poles, and I went for a 20 mile hike yesterday. I found that the press button lock kept collapsing! This new system for B D, is a design fault. I contacted the shop I bought them from, and they have refunded my cost price. Of the 2 poles in question, one button stays up, but the faulty one only comes up a little, and collapsed a few times on my walk yesterday. I have been using similar poles for years, and only decided to get new ones, because the push button is hard to push in.. I am due to hike in the Alps in 2 weeks, and they really could be a danger to life! Jeremy Corke. UK 29/7/2024

Super review! Are there protective covers / wider tips for these poles? The Black Diamond website is somewhat inscrutable.

Hint: don’t grip handles too tight/much - put weight on the strap.

I just looked at these poles today. Can't remember seeing the little locking button on them. I need them for use in the high mountains and for trekking. Not sure if they are suitable or not. Plus would they come apart if u stuck them into snow

A good and neutral video! A question about the hand straps. I still have the first Z-Poles with the hand straps in size M and would like to replace them now. The replacement loops are available in two sizes: S/M or M/L. What size is installed in the poles you presented and which of the two sizes would you recommend as a replacement? Many thanks and regards, Matthias

Have you tried WD40 on the locking pin?

This button doesn’t hold firm, so I have to stretch the pole back quite often. So this is what I dont like in this poles!

I thought this but if you pull the pole down hard it should click and then it shouldn’t move anywhere.

Is it better to get z poles that pack down small but are not height adjustable or get the ones that are height adjustable but not fold like the z ones

I’ve owned both of Black Diamond’s height adjustable and non-adjustable Z-poles and I prefer the adjustable ones. The poles in this video are the poles I still use today and they are great.

Yeah, but you can't take the mud baskets off. Not on the old version or the new.
