See our entire range from the OMM here!

The OMM Z‑Lite Poles – Carbon are extremely light, rigid, 4-piece carbon fiber running poles , designed for mountain running, ultra-running and fast-paced adventures where every gram counts . The poles are based on the same thoughtful design as the Z‑Lite Alloy, but use carbon fiber to provide even lower weight and higher stiffness , perfect for runners who prioritize efficient power transfer on steep climbs and technical terrain.

The fixed length minimizes mechanical parts and provides high reliability, while the four-section Z-construction allows the poles to be quickly folded to a very short pack length . This makes them easy to carry in, for example, the OMM Pole Pod , backpack or vest when the terrain does not require poles.

Z‑Lite Poles – Carbon feature an ergonomically shaped EVA softgrip handle , designed for comfort during long sessions. The handle features a recessed channel for Velcro closure storage , keeping your gear tidy when the poles are packed away. A molded webbing wrist strap , low-profile barrel , and integrated cord storage make the pole ready for both competition and longer adventures.

The poles are available in five fixed lengths (110–130 cm) , with each size identified by a color-coded wrist strap . Whether you’re running multi-day stage races , fastpacking in alpine environments , or needing an ultra-lightweight tarp or bivouac support , the Z‑Lite Carbon is an uncompromising solution for high speed and low weight.

Size chart – Walking poles

Choosing the right length of running poles provides better running technique, reduces fatigue and increases efficiency in the terrain.

Quick rule:
Body length in cm × 0.67 = recommended rod length
Always round down to the nearest size.

Recommended length

Under 155 cm → 100 cm

155–165 cm → 105 cm

165–172 cm → 110 cm

172–178 cm → 115 cm

178–185 cm → 120 cm

185–192 cm → 125 cm

Over 192 cm → 130 cm

When the tip is in the ground, the elbow should form approximately 90°. A slightly shorter pole is usually better for uphill running. For varied terrain, adjustable poles are recommended.
