tie-dieGreat review tie-die. I must say, I am concerned about getting replacements parts now. I had the same issue with a set of Leki's and will never buy another Leki again. With Fizan being Europe based as well, I am more inclined to pay a little extra for a set of BD poles since replacement parts are everywhere for cheap.

T-RavReplacement tips are available. Still, for the price you could buy two or three Fizan sets for the price of one pair of comparably light poles from BD.

DannyMilksThe price is definitely right. I am in pending international shipping is reasonable.

Couldn't really find another set of poles on the Appalachian Trail that were lighter- and that had the same abilities.
The handles are pretty much perfect, the straps- also perfect, pretty easy to twist down unless your hands are wet, have a solid lockup, super light at about 6.7+- oz /pole, don't make your arms nearly as tired because they are so light, and smaller in length than my bag- so they are compact enough for me. Used TWO pair of these same (compact 3) in green on my 2016 AT thru-hike. One pair was a darker green, and the newer ones are a vibrant shade of neon green- both pairs equally simple to pick out when left in a mound of other hiking poles at a shelter or hostel.
With both sets I managed to not bend or otherwise damage any of the individual sections (total of 3/pole) but the tip sockets in both poles of the first set eventually let the carbide tips fall right out. I guess the abuse was too much (1500+- miles). Despite the carbide tips clearly poking right through, I left the original bumper covers on the ends so as to increase my footprint and try to avoid postholing into the trail. When I realized I lost the carbide tips I tried buying bottom 1/3 replacement sections but no luck with massdrop or the manuf. I loved them so much I just bought another pair and had em sent out to me on the trail. Back home I put replacement bumpers of the originals on the once tip sockets- now a plastic stump and gained another life out of em! Success. Still got the second pair and they are just dandy.
They are so great I'm thinking about buying a third pair just in case they stop making em. EDIT: I did buy a pair of the new version. Best. Poles. EVER.
