Packed with comfort-focused features like ergonomic cork grips and Bloom grip extensions, plus our highly packable Z-pole collapsible system, the Pursuit FLZ is a premium pole option for any hiker.
BLOOM removes over-abundant algae from aquatic ecosystems and turns it into a renewable material that replaces fossil fuel-based ingredients. This transformative process simultaneously helps to clean and re-oxygenate water systems while preventing carbon emissions associated with decomposition.
Featuring a soft-touch design for ultimate on-trail comfort, FlickLock+ Technology offers quick and easy adjustments in varying terrain while on the move.
Speed Cone technology comes from our expertise in avalanche probe design—a key component of Z-Poles’ stiffness and fast deployment.
As part of Black Diamond's commitment to innovation and minimizing our environmental footprint, the aluminum shafts of our trekking poles are made with UL validated 30% pre-consumer recycled aluminum. By total finished weight, our poles contain a minimum of 14% recycled content.
We trust what we make because we use what we make. All Black Diamond products are covered by a two year warranty policy.
Our Pursuit Collection has you covered from bottom to top, base to summit. Featuring apparel that’s built for freedom of movement, packs designed to carry everything you need for a day of peak-bagging, and comfortable, ergonomic-focused trekking poles. This collection is all about moving through the mountains until you reach the top.
Combining six decades of innovation with Black Diamond’s unique company culture of using and testing our products in the mountains. Our experience outdoors is what inspires and informs our engineering in the lab, and in turn the engineering leads to new gear and apparel that improve the mountain experience.

"Overall a decent pair of hiking poles, however with mine the hiking pole locker broke off (or how one would like to call it). Sadly this happened just outside the warranty period of 2 years (by one month) and with the poles only having joined me on 20-ish day hikes I feel like the lifespan should have been longer."
"Comfort and weight wide I have nothing to say on these poles, maybe the grip could be extended a little bit if I want to be peaky. The little screw driver included is a plus (it helped me repaired my friends pole). However, even if I was warned by the other posts, I did not want to believe that the construction was so weak, so I bought them anyway. But, now I can confirm that the locking pin is the weak point of these poles and it took only 4 ski touring to have them broken. This is really a shame. I sent them back to the seller for reimbursment. Now I have to find another model."
"I bought the wrong size. The reason is that the explanation (size S M or L/ size of the person) is missing. Check this, it is missing on your Web site. Writen on the package received but missing on the Web site. Christmas present returned I am not happy. NR"
"Very good quality, but a bit expensive"
"As a couple of reviewers already have mentioned, the little button that keeps the pole in its extended position is of very poor quality! I have had it failing on me twice, with two different pairs of poles. The first time I got a new pair from the seller, thinking it was just a bad item, but no, the exact thing happened again with the replacement pair. Until this design flaw is fixed these poles are simply not safe to use! Its completely unacceptable, these are among the most expensive trekking poles on the market. It's really a shame, without this flaw they would be close to perfect."
"Really like them. Feel sturdy, easy to fold and unfold, very light."
"Lightweight and it is possible to pachkage them in a very short size to fit into the backpack"
"The push button that locks the poles into place broke and fell into the poles. This happened for both poles, after less than 100 km of use on very moderate (mainly flat) terrain. I am currently awaiting a reply to my warranty claim (only just submitted). Regardless of the warranty, this failure is completely unacceptable, especially for the price. BD should also stop selling these immediately because they are simply not safe for any serious use. Forget about 'premium poles' or 'steep ascents' - these poles can't be trusted."
"I purchased a pair of these sticks at my local dealer in September 2023. initially, I loved the comfort of the handles and the strap, and the aluminum shaft had a comfortable resonance when descending, thus softening the pressure on body and arms. After around eight uses, and not more than two months later, the safety lock of one of the sticks got jammed. My dealer was unable to fix it, so he gave me an Alpine Carbon Cork instead, which failed on the second use. I now use sticks from a different brand, but I really miss the comfort of the pursuit FLZ."
"These are my favorite hiking poles, I lost my Leki poles a while ago and finally replaced them and I love them! They can extend long enough to hold up my tent, are very lightweight and seem sturdy so far. I also love the color and the possibility to fold them down to fit in my backpack. The wrist straps and cork handle are also very comfortable."
