Fizan Compact 3 Trekking Poles — Ultralight, Adjustable, Violet

Trusty trekking poles, crafted in Italy

Since 1947, Fizan has been at the forefront of lightweight trekking gear. The Compact 3 updates a classic three-section design with a robust aluminum build and a precise locking system, delivering a pole that stays steady without weighing you down—about 5.6 ounces per pole.

Key design and materials

Crafted from 7001 aluminum, the Compact 3 blends strength with a collapsible form that travels well in a backpack. The EVA grip is redesigned for comfort, featuring a rounded top that sits naturally in your hand during long descents. Wider, smoother straps stay breathable and reduce chafing when moving quickly or in damp conditions.

• Adjustable length from 22.8 to 52 inches for a personalized stance across heights and terrains.
• Replaceable carbide tips for solid grip on dirt trails and rubber tip covers for rocky or slippery surfaces.
• Two sets of baskets plus compatibility with third-party baskets for terrain versatility.
• Ultralight, three-section construction that folds compactly for easy packing.

On the trail

These poles offer steadier footing on uneven ground, assist with climbs and descents, and help distribute load on long days—possible benefits you may notice on rocky switchbacks, stream crossings, and steep trails. The ergonomic grip and breathable straps are designed to stay comfortable through extended sessions.

Packability and versatility

When collapsed, the Compact 3 tuck neatly into most daypacks or backpacks, ready to deploy when you need extra stability. The included tip covers and baskets let you tailor the setup to your specific trail conditions, from dry dirt to damp moss and gravel.

Brand story

Fizan, founded in 1947 by Domenico Fincati, helped popularize aluminum in ski poles before expanding to alpine and Nordic walking gear. The Compact series remains a benchmark for ultralight, collapsible trekking poles in Europe and beyond.
