Two concerns:
1) Would they be able to hold up to the rigours of a thru-hike, such as the PCT
2) What is the support/customer service for these poles like? For example, for long distances, replacement tips would become necessary. Are these replacement parts easy to find in the US?
CallMeInvictusIt's looking that way. I see a few stores that carry the poles and all the accessories/parts except those tips. Shipping them to the US from UOG looks to be about $7.
CallMeInvictusI have used these poles for at least 120 days without any degradation in performance or any signs of failure. I think they would be one of the more reliable choices in their weight class.
Fizan is making a greater effort to have a US presence, with improved distribution out of the NorthEast, so it will become easier to get replacement parts here. Additionally, tips from other brands may work with these poles - it's worth checking out.
Survivalist7While Fizan does make these poles in other colors, the only option in this drop is for the green and black scheme. Thanks for joining the drop!
