The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Innovative folding Z-Pole system offers simple, compact and reliable support with a concealed inner cord, single push-button release and speed cone deployment
Inspired by snow probes, speed cones at the end of each pole section ensure strength, stability and superfast deployment; each speed cone guides a pole section into place

FlickLock Pro is 20% smaller and 30% easier to open than its predecessor and offers twice the holding force
Easily replace and solidly secure pole tips with WaveLock™ tip connections
Right- and left-hand-specific straps are light, breathable and moisture-wicking; they feature breathable cut-out windows and easy rip-and-stick adjustability
Light, non-slip EVA foam grips feature foam extensions that allow poles to be held lower on the shaft, a convenience for your short side during hill traverses
Single FlickLock® mechanism near the grip of each pole offers 8 in. of adjustable length
Aluminum shafts are superlight and durable
Pole baskets feature shaft catchers to secure pole sections when folded; note: baskets are fixed in place and cannot be switched out for snow or powder baskets

Best Uses

Comments about Black Diamond Distance FL Z-Pole Women's Trekking Poles - Pair:

These poles are based on a great idea--several segments of pole that fit together (like tent poles) with only one segment adjustable for height. That way they can fold very small and are still fully adjustable. They put together easily and are light and comfortable to use...til you use them. The problem is that there is nothing but the aluminum pole shaft overlap where they fit together holding the poles together! That is, unlike tent poles there is no tension line to hold the pole segments together so as soon as you put any weight on them or stick them in soft ground the segments come apart as you retract them. These are useless for any surface more demanding than pavement. What a pathetic failure--were these never field tested, or did Black Diamond market them knowing they were useless?

Comments about Black Diamond Distance FL Z-Pole Women's Trekking Poles - Pair:

I originially bought these trekking poles thinking I would probably use them backpacking, but primarily as a means to pitch the tent I had just bought. I had never used trekking poles before, but I am so glad I have them now! My first backpacking adventure I somehow got off the trail and had to hike uphill through a foot of detritus to get back on the trail and my trekking poles made it so much easier!

I love how easy they are to adjust, probably my favorite thing about them. They are super comfortable to hold and sturdy. When I'm not using them they fold down and I can easily strap them on my pack.
