Black Diamond Alpine FLZ Z-Poles

Now, they do come with a one-year warranty from Black Diamond, and they really are a great lightweight trekking pole option. You've got not much pack ...

So as you can see the Alpine FLZ trekking poles by Black Diamond make a huge bit of difference whether you're walking on flat terrain and you just wan...

I love BD gear and apparel. I own and use a lot of it, for backpacking, camping, climbing, alpine/snow/glacier travel, and all the vertical training to support these outings.
