Fizan COMPACT green — international reference, Article 100-472 review

This is an English, source-based assessment of an international manufacturer reference, not a field test or a verified U.S. retail offer. Fizan’s dated Trekking/Hiking collection card labels the item “COMPACT green” and links to the exact product page with the same title and Article 100-472. The Summer 2026 catalogue uses the punctuation 100.472 for the corresponding COMPACT Green entry. Those records identify the observed reference; they do not establish a U.S. seller SKU, stock, or package.

A straightforward three-section adjustable design

The exact product page describes three sections measuring 17, 16, and 14 mm, an internal Flexy expander system, an EVA grip, and a polyester strap. The catalogue identifies 7001 aluminum. In category terms, the evidence supports a telescoping, length-adjustable shaft. It does not provide a separately verified working-length minimum. Although the catalogue prints “59–132 cm,” the product page describes 59 cm as the pole’s closed length and 132 cm as its open extent. For that reason, this assessment records 132 cm as the documented upper extent and 59 cm as the closed dimension—not as a lower hiking setting. A hiker who needs a particular hand position should confirm the usable range for the exact item before choosing it.

Fizan calls the internal adjuster “Flexy” and describes expanders. That wording does not identify a standard external-lever lock, and it is not enough by itself to classify the system as a twist lock. This distinction matters if you specifically want a locking mechanism you can inspect or adjust without rotating a shaft section. Our guide to adjustment systems explains why mechanism labels and setup instructions are separate questions; here, the exact public lock-style category remains unknown.

Grip, baskets, tip, and the weight caveat

The page identifies an EVA grip and polyester strap. That gives a useful material description, but it cannot predict whether the handle shape, strap, or foam will suit a particular hand or climate. No documented integrated shock system or adjustable strap setting is established for this exact reference. The manufacturer page says two basket sizes, 35 mm and 50 mm, are supplied and also lists protective tip caps; the catalogue separately lists the same basket diameters and a carbide tip. Neither source calls either basket a snow basket, so the included sizes should not be treated as proof of a snow-basket package. See the basket and tip guide before treating diameter or appearance as a terrain-specific fit.

Fizan’s page gives a 158 g figure, and the catalogue prints 158 gr, but neither source states whether that means one pole, a pair, or another weighing basis. The figure is therefore retained as a published value with its basis unresolved, not as a comparable per-pole weight. The product image shows two green-and-black poles; a photograph cannot establish the number or accessories in a shipped package. Likewise, the manufacturer’s promotional “lightest” wording is not a comparative test and is not used as an assessment finding.

What the green finish changes—and what it does not

The collection and exact page distinguish this green finish as Article 100-472, while the Summer 2026 catalogue lists the separate COMPACT Grey as 100.475. That is useful identity evidence, not evidence that the green version has a different shaft, grip, range, or operating plan. The green page and catalogue describe the same core three-section COMPACT arrangement, so no color-specific performance difference is inferred. If you are comparing the adjacent grey reference, its separately recorded page and article details are in the COMPACT grey assessment; the matching family name does not bridge either version to an exact U.S. seller selector.

For a buyer, the green finish is not the deciding question. The more consequential checks are whether the documented 132 cm upper extent suits your own chosen setting, whether 59 cm closed fits your actual storage space, how the internal expander is set up, and what the seller names in the exact package. A 59 cm closed length is not a promise that it fits a pack whose usable sleeve is shorter, and the sources do not document the lower working setting needed to confirm every user’s reach.

Assessment boundary

The review keeps COMPACT green visible as a manufacturer reference. The recorded U.S. seller page does include a “Compact 3 / Green / EVA Foam” selector, but it does not connect that seller option to Article 100-472 or give it a verified manufacturer-article cross-reference. That seller configuration has its own U.S. Compact 3 EVA Foam assessment; this international maker-page entry stays separate rather than borrowing the seller’s variant identity or package. It is outside the U.S. finder and has no purchase action of its own. This is not a claim that the model is unavailable everywhere. The current evidence does not support hands-on, durability, snow-use, availability, or personal-fit conclusions.
