Z-POLE RAPID DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM

• Concealed inner cord
• Single push-button release to collapse the pole
• One-pull, Speed Cone deployment

Speed Cone technology comes from Black Diamond's expertise in avalanche probe design—a key component of Z-Poles' stiffness and fast deployment. Simply grab the grip and the first shaft section, and pull them away from each other. The pole will snap into place and lock. Each Speed Cone guides a shaft section into place, and stiffens the joint when the pole is locked. Protective, flexible tube ends cover the pole’s Kevlar® center cord when folded.
