Black Diamond Pursuit Carbon Z

There was a time not long ago that foldable poles were only available in stripped down, minimalist offerings that were fine for trail runners but lacked robust build qualities for hikers and backpackers. But thankfully, those days are a thing of the past. The Pursuit Carbon Z poles’ extended-length, contoured grips utilize hand-friendly cork and work in tandem with adjustable stress-reducing wrist straps. Black Diamond even throws in swappable standard baskets and snow baskets, so these carbon fiber poles can perform in all 4 seasons.

Best Use: Backpacking and Hiking
