The Pacific Crest Trail is America’s greatest wild and scenic trail experience. From Campo California through the Cascades, Sierra Nevada range and into British Columbia, the 2,653 mile path is supported, protected, and advocated for by our pals at the Pacific Crest Trail Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Pacific Crest Trail Association is an eclectic band of trail junkies who have championed the needs of the Pacific Crest Trail since 1977.

To pay homage to their year-round efforts, we’ve designed these trekking poles in house to proudly display the vintage Pacific Crest Trail badge (try and find it displayed along the trail in Oregon and Washington) and trail map topography in a fresh new Sage Green colorway. Your new favorite trekking poles also contribute to the greater good - 5% of the purchase price from our new Kaviso x Fizan Compact Trekking Poles will be donated to the PCTA.

Whether you make it all the way to Canada or not – your purchase will ensure the next generation has a chance to hike this historic long distance trail.

The Kaviso x Fizan Compact Trekking Poles are adorned with PCT topography, trail map, and key checkpoint callouts like Forester Pass and Cascade Locks. In a nod to the cottage brand icon X-Mid, we color matched the poles to a stealthy Sage Green colorway - the perfect pairing for your PCT pitch.

Both Compact 3 and Compact 4 are suited perfectly for non-freestanding shelter setups, including the full range of Durston Gear X-Mid tents. The trail blazing UL legend himself, Dan Durston, relied on a pair of Compact 3’s during his record setting 1,500 mile yo-yo thru-hike of the Great Divide Trail.

The Fizan Compact 3 is the worlds lightest three-section aluminum trekking pole weighing in at 5.6 ounces per pole with an adjustable length of 22.8 to 52 inches (58 to 132 cm). The Fizan Compact 4 hit the scales at 6 ounces per pole with an adjustable length of 19.3 to 49.2 inches (49 to 125 cm).

While the Compact 3 is a bit lighter and can extend longer, the Compact 4 collapses smaller, making it a good alternative for those who plan to travel with their poles inside their backpack or luggage. Both feature replaceable carbide tips for traction on dirt trails and metal-reinforced, highly textured rubber tip covers for rocky trails and slippery surfaces. Along with the included baskets (35 and 50 mm), the poles can accommodate larger press-fit baskets from Fizan or other brands.

Seventy years after its inception, Fizan remains family owned and operated, and all poles are still made in its factory in Veneto, Italy, using environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices.
