Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 5/10How much the pair adds to your hands and pack. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
Fizan's own Summer 2026 catalogue gives 260 g for the Ultrax Alu (against 215 g for the Ultrax Carbon on the same page). It does not say in words whether that is one pole or a pair, but it prints the figure beside a single drawn pole; Kaviso (a US shop) lists the Alu at 260 g per pole and Hardloop at '260 g x2'. A pair at 260 g would be 130 g a pole, lighter than the carbon model's 215 g, so it is doubled to 520 g for the pair: the 450-549 g band. Ultralight Outdoor Gear lists 229 g a pole (458 g a pair, the same band), but that figure matches a tester's weighing of the carbon model, so Fizan's figure is the one scored.
Packed size
From maker's figures 10/10Whether they fit inside or along a rucksack. 10: The best you can buy for this.
Fizan gives 37 cm folded (its page and catalogue): under 45 cm.
