Z Poles

Never leave your poles behind again

Go no farther in search of trekking poles. Twenty years of walking with sticks has finally led me to perfection: Z Poles by Black Diamond Equipment.

They’re strong, light and comfortable. Details include ergonomic hook and loop wrist straps and 3M reflective patches so you can find them at night wearing a headlamp.

Most important, they fold up small and fit easily into your travel luggage.

Buy the right size; they come in different lengths. You’ll never be tempted to leave these sticks behind. I took mine across the Atlantic recently for the pleasure of a single day’s scramble along the Cornish coast.
