Trekking poles are one of those things that don’t make much sense until you try them. But then, as soon as you do, you realise what you’ve been missing out on: More support, enhanced stability and noticeably less tired legs. But for pole pros who are already committed to the game, where do you go for your next levelling up? Well, for us, there’s no greater support than with Black Diamond’s near-perfect Pursuit Carbon Z Poles. Super lightweight, hyper-supportive, and completely collapsible, they’re the brand’s top-performing pole set to help you move more effortlessly across any terrain. Featuring comfortable, ergonomically designed cork grips, they come with Black Diamond’s innovative 5-degree tilt geometry for more advanced comfort, as well as airmesh straps, recycled Bloom grip extensions and snow baskets — all to deliver enhanced usability in practically any conditions.

How to measure:
On flat ground, the top of the trekking pole handle should be at waist or hip level and your elbow at 90 degrees (see illustration).
For Walking, hiking and backpacking: Stability and support matter most. Size up if you're right on a size cusp.
For Running: Uphill propulsion matters most. Size down if you're right on a size cusp.
The Black Diamond story began with a backyard anvil and a hammer, way back in 1957. The hammer in question was wielded by famous US climber Yvon Chouinard – the same man who would also go on to create outdoor brand Patagonia. Chouinard started hand-forging climbing hardware, selling steel pitons from the back of his car in the hallowed Yosemite Valley. Over the years, that fledgling business morphed into Black Diamond, with Chouinard eventually handing over the reins to an equally dedicated group of former employees.
Steeped in mountain heritage, the brand has continued to build on its legacy through innovative, user-driven design, built for demanding adventures on rock, ice and snow. Today, they make a lot more than merely hardware. Which means that Black Diamond isn’t just for climbers, mountaineers and skiers – their duffel bags, headlamps, lanterns and gloves are all much-loved by hikers, backpackers, campers and global travellers alike.
When it comes to sustainability, the brand also strives to stay true to Chouinard’s original ‘clean climbing’ ethos. As a brand, Black Diamond supports environmental not-for-profits, whilst making concerted efforts to use renewable energy and recycle as much waste as possible. But above all, they believe in sustainability through longevity, which means making kit that will stand the toughest test of all: time.
