Fizan Compact 3 Trekking Poles

Manufacturer: Trusty Trekking Poles, Made in Italy

Collaboration with Fizan: Made in collaboration with Fizan, an Italian pole maker that has been in business since 1947, these trekking poles are among the lightest and most adjustable on the market. They feature the 7001 aluminum construction and super-strong locking system of Fizan's original Compact poles, with added improvements for trail comfort.

Improved Grip: The EVA foam grip has a new ergonomic design, cushioned for comfort, with a rounded plastic top for a more comfortable under-palm feel during descents.

Enhanced Straps: The straps are wider, smoother, and more pliable, making them breathable and less likely to cause chafing.

Versatile Terrain: To ensure readiness for varying terrain, the poles come with a pair of durable, grippy tip covers and two sets of hiking baskets.

Collapsible, Adjustable, and Ultralight: The Compact 3 features three sections and is adjustable from 22.8 to 52 inches, weighing 5.6 ounces per pole. The Compact 4 has four sections, adjustable from 19.3 to 49.2 inches, and weighs 6 ounces. The Compact 4 collapses smaller, making it a good choice for those who travel with their poles inside their backpack or luggage.

Tip Options: Both models feature replaceable carbide tips for traction on dirt trails and metal-reinforced rubber tip covers for rocky terrain and slippery surfaces. Additionally, the poles can accommodate press-fit baskets from other brands.

Benefits of Trekking Poles: Ideal for hikers seeking increased speed and stability, trekking poles are useful for rocky and uneven terrain, water crossings, steep ascents and descents, and stepped trails. They can help distribute the load more evenly for those with back, knee, or ankle problems and reduce the risk of stress injuries. They can also be used for shelter or tarp setups during multi-day treks.

About Fizan: Founded in 1947 by Domenico Fincati, Fizan revolutionized the use of aluminum in ski poles when others were still using steel or bamboo. Now a leader in the market, Fizan is well-known in Europe for their alpine and Nordic walking poles, and among the ultralight community for their Compact series of trekking poles. The company remains family owned and operated, producing all poles in their factory in Veneto, Italy, with socially responsible practices.
