Worth every penny
"I bought these as a leap of faith because I had never owned a pair of hiking poles before, and these were on the pricey side. But I am a convert and I find them to be money well spent. I bought them to improve my stability during bush walks, and, by extension, my confidence. They definitely hit the brief, and they also offer the added benefit of allowing me to take some of my body weight into my arms when my legs get tired, especially during uphill climbs. I will never be without a pair again, and I'm so glad I splurged and got these ones, as they are light enough to carry around easily even when I'm not using them."
Lightweight but not that sturdy
"Have used in 3 trail running races and training, twist lock mechanism gradually became harder and harder to use until poles jammed. Too hard to use when running, wouldn't buy again. Will using folding poles in future"
Hiking Sticks
"A must need for hikers with weak knees especially. They are very light weight, very handy at tricky uneven tracks. They are easy to pack in bag while travelling as well."
Fizan Compact Pro
"Good quality and very light trekking pole. Can wait to buy other one."
Excellent size
"I used my new poles the very next day, I’m so pleased with them. My knee didn’t hurt and I made it up hills thanks to my piles. I won’t hike without them ever."
Easy to operate
"Easy to operate"
Good stock, efficient delivery
"Wonderfully light and well balanced. These Fizan poles certainly enhance tramping experiences."
light in weight (and durability)
"have had a pair of these for a couple of years - yes light but find the twist locking mech can slip which is not ideal. Had to retire one after one of the kids caught it in between some rocks and lower section got a decent bend. Was a bit disappointing Kathmandu don't have a source of spare parts available to purchase. Wouldn't purchase again."
rubber broken
"I fully understand the rubber will be broken, but what make me unpleasant were the replacements. I bought this item for an off-road hiking about 4 days (75km), rubber was broken so I went back bought 2 pairs rubber. The replacement are low level designed…. Btw: I do not agree to the terms and conditions, the reason why I click the agree box ‘cause I need leave this message"
Q&A
- we have lost one pole. can we buy a single pole to match existing??
- Unfortunately, not online sorry. If there are any stores near you it would be worth contacting them to enquire whether they have a spare pole from a faulty or returned pair.
- How much do they weigh if they are so lightweight?
- 175 grams each pole. See one of the photos. I bought this myself from a store on sale to be used on a trek next day on. This did the job for me. But there are more lighter, more compact and cheaper branded products out there.
