Black Diamond Trail Vista FLZ Trekking Poles

Black Diamond Trail Vista FLZ Trekking Poles

A durable, packable trekking pole that combines the fast deployment of Z-pole construction with FlickLock adjustability for dedicated hikers who want the best of both systems. The Trail Vista FLZ is built for committed hikers who spend serious time on trail from weekend outings to multi-day treks and want a pole that holds up through all of it.

Why We Carry It
It's the pole we recommend for dedicated hikers who want a premium cork grip, adjustable length, and Z-pole packability in one setup without having to choose between convenience and performance.

Highlights

• Natural cork wrapped ergonomic grip with EVA foam extension — Cork molds to your hand over time, manages moisture, and stays cool against the skin on warm days. The extended foam grip below allows hand position changes on steep ascents and technical terrain without stopping to adjust pole length.
• Z-pole construction with speed cone technology — Folds and deploys faster than a standard three-section adjustable pole. Packs down to 37-40 cm for easy storage in or on a pack between trail sections without a complicated collapse procedure.
• FlickLock adjustability — BD's proven external lever locking system lets you dial in the exact length for your terrain and body without tools. Adjusts quickly and holds firmly under load even on the most demanding trail days.
• UL-validated recycled aluminum shafts — Lightweight, durable, and certified recycled content construction. A sustainable material choice backed by independent validation without compromising the strength and reliability of a dedicated hiking pole.
• Replaceable flex tip construction — Carbide tips that absorb vibration on hard surfaces and can be replaced when worn rather than requiring a new pole. A durability detail that keeps the Trail Vista FLZ on trail for years rather than seasons.
• Removable snow baskets for four-season performance — Swap to snow baskets for shoulder season approaches and winter conditions without buying a dedicated winter pole.
• Starting at 500 grams per pair — A competitive weight for a full-featured adjustable hiking pole with a cork grip and Z-pole construction.

Best for

Dedicated hikers tackling everything from weekend trail days to multi-day treks who want a premium cork grip, Z-pole packability, and FlickLock adjustability in a durable, sustainable aluminum pole.
