Fizan Compact 3 Trekking Poles – Ultralight Walking Sticks

Trusty trekking poles, made in Italy: These poles are made in collaboration with Fizan, an Italian pole maker that has been in business since 1947. They are among the lightest collapsible, fully adjustable trekking poles available. They feature the 7001 aluminum construction and super-strong locking system of Fizan's original Compact poles, with a few improvements to enhance your experience on the trail. The EVA foam grip has a new ergonomic, cushioned design with a rounded plastic top for a more comfortable feel during descents. The straps are wider, smoother, and more pliable, making them breathable and less likely to cause chafing. The poles come with a pair of durable, grippy tip covers and two sets of hiking baskets to ensure you're prepared for any terrain.

Collapsible, adjustable & ultralight: The Compact 3 is adjustable from 22.8 to 52 inches and weighs 5.6 ounces per pole. The Compact 4 has four sections, is adjustable from 19.3 to 49.2 inches, and weighs 6 ounces. The Compact 4 collapses smaller, making it a suitable option for those who plan to travel with their poles inside their backpack or luggage. Both poles feature replaceable carbide tips for traction on dirt trails and metal-reinforced, highly textured rubber tip covers for rocky trails and slippery surfaces. Additionally, the poles can accommodate press-fit baskets from other brands.

Why use trekking poles: Ideal for anyone who wants to hike with greater speed and stability, trekking poles come in handy for rocky and uneven terrain, water crossings, steep ascents and descents. They can be beneficial for individuals with back, knee, or ankle problems by distributing the load more evenly and reducing the chance of stress injuries. Trekking poles can also be used in shelter or tarp setups during multi-day treks.

About Fizan: Founded in 1947 by Domenico Fincati, Fizan is a leading manufacturer known for its use of aluminum in ski poles when steel or bamboo was still prevalent. The company is widely recognized in Europe for its alpine and Nordic walking poles and among the ultralight community for its Compact series of trekking poles. Fizan remains family owned and operated, with all poles made in its factory in Veneto, Italy, using socially responsible practices.

Features and specifications: The poles have a 7001 aluminum construction and utilize Fizan's proprietary Flexy internal locking system. The ergonomic EVA foam grip with a rounded plastic top provides a comfortable under-palm feel. The poles come with 1.35" (3.4 cm) wide nylon straps. They have three sections, adjustable length from 22.8 to 52 inches (58–132 cm), and pole section diameters of 17, 16, and 14 mm. Each pole weighs 5.6 oz (158 g).
