Product Information

Full details

The Black Diamond Trail Vista FLZ trekking poles are designed for hikers and backpackers who require a versatile, packable solution for varied terrain, from flat forest paths to steep, technical mountain ascents. By combining Z-Pole folding technology with adjustable FlickLock segments, these poles offer the perfect balance of convenience and custom length, though the reliance on external locking mechanisms means they require occasional maintenance compared to fixed-length options.

FAQs

Are these poles sold as a pair?

Yes, Black Diamond Trail Vista FLZ poles are sold as a pair.

Can I use these for snowshoeing?

Yes, they are compatible with snow baskets, making them suitable for winter hiking and snowshoeing.

How do I adjust the strap?

Lift the top of the Variwidth strap housing to release the webbing, adjust to your wrist size, and press down to lock it in place.

Can I replace the tips if they wear out?

Yes, the Flex tips are replaceable and can be swapped out for new ones or carbide tips depending on your preference.

Do these poles come with a carrying bag?

No, they fold down into a compact size that typically fits inside most standard hiking daypacks without needing a specific bag.

How much do these poles weigh?

Weight varies by length, but they are constructed from lightweight recycled aluminum to minimize trail fatigue.

Troubleshooting

The FlickLock lever is loose and the pole slips.

Open the lever, turn the adjustment screw clockwise slightly, then close the lever to test the tension.

The pole joints are stuck and won't fold.

Clean the joints with a damp cloth to remove grit or sand, then ensure the internal release button is fully depressed.

The pole feels wobbly during use.

Check that all sections are fully extended and the Speed Cone is locked firmly into the seated position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely compact when folded for easy transport
  • FlickLock system is highly reliable and easy to adjust
  • Cork grip finish manages moisture well on long hikes
  • Foam extension allows for 'choking up' on steep switchbacks
  • Compatible with seasonal accessories for year-round use

Cons

  • Three-section folding design has more points of potential wear than fixed poles
  • FlickLock lever needs periodic tension adjustment
  • Not as ultra-lightweight as pure carbon fiber alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your poles, pull the middle segments away from the handle until the internal cord locks the Speed Cone joints into place. Engage the FlickLock lever to set your desired height; the lever should provide firm resistance when closed.

For care, always allow your poles to air dry completely after a wet hike before folding them for storage to prevent internal corrosion or debris buildup. If you notice the FlickLock lever slipping, use a small screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw clockwise while the lever is in the open position to increase tension. Inspect the Flex tips periodically; if they become worn or dull, they can be unscrewed and replaced to maintain traction on stone and dirt.
