Product Description
Made in collaboration with Fizan, an Italian pole maker that’s been in business since 1947, these are among the lightest collapsible, fully adjustable trekking poles on the market. They feature the 7001 aluminum construction and super-strong locking system of Fizan’s original Compact poles, plus a few improvements to help you out on the trail Read More

My wife usually uses the Fizans but I’ve also used them a bunch. The short answer is YES, definitely. The long answer is that I think you have to look at the terrain and conditions to determine what pole would have the best application for the trip you are on. If you can’t afford another set or don’t see the need for a couple of sets I think these are a great all- round pole. The price point for the quality can’t be matched. For example if I was going through the High Sierras in early summer with a lot of snowpack and I knew I would have poles in my hand 98% of the time and sometimes putting a lot of pressure on them I would opt for my BD Carbon Corks or a Komperdell equivalent. A lot heavier but stiffer and stronger. If I was on a trail with sort of average tread and not a ton of technical terrain these would be in my hand. These are especially good when you aren’t using them because they are so light to throw back on your pack. Strongly recommended

Is there any care recommendations for these? I just got back from a trip and I was barely able to unscrew the middle section and would like to know if recommends any kind of lubricant or something would be safe to use on these.

They're friction locks, so lubricants might make them too slippery. I just use some dish soap and a long pipe cleaner to clean the dirt out from time to time.

They’ve worked great with a six moons design Lunar Solo, Gatewood Cape and Gossamer Gear Twinn Tarp.
JRiddleYeah, as well as with the Drop ultralight tents

I've used these as poles for the Dan Durston X-Mid 1P. extended to about 120.

Yes. I've had no issues when using them to set up with my TarpTent Stratospire 2 which requires two poles set to 50 inch/127cm. These poles have a max length of 52 inches. If you need more length for a larger pyramid style tent you can always couple them together.

They should. I've used my Compact 3s (the blue model) with my Tarptent Notch without issue a bunch of times.

I think these would work as well as any pole provided the Max extended length of the Fizan matched the requirement of the particular tent being used. As a part time tent pole and part time trekking pole these can’t be beat for weight

I haven't tried but I don't think they are long enough (unless you like very low tents ...)

I believe the minimums lengths listed under the Details section (58cm for the Compact 3 and 49cm for the Compact 4) correspond to the fully collapsed length, as they would be packed. From memory, that lines up with my experience with my Compact 3’s.

Just curious since someone ordered a blue compact 3 that came in all black in 2020. Has the color changed recently, I am not fond of the blue color.

Yes, I ordered a pair and the picture had blue trekking poles. I didnt like the color or look but needed a pair for my tent, so I bought them. I'm so happy they ran out of blue, because I received black ones with a little bit of red accent. The black ones look nice to me. I will only take poles with me when I use an ultralight tent, otherwise I don't like using them for hiking.
