KAVISO x FIZAN: CONQUER THE CDT
From the sun-scorched deserts of New Mexico to the alpine peaks of the Rockies, the sweeping plains of Montana, and Glacier National Park, the Continental Divide Trail spans over 3,100 miles of iconic American wilderness. It’s protected and championed by the Continental Divide Trail Coalition, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving this treasured route for future generations.
In collaboration with the CDTC, we designed the Kaviso x Fizan Compact Trekking Poles featuring the CDT trail badge and topographic map in a familiar sage green and teal finish. 5% of each purchase supports the CDTC’s mission to protect and maintain the trail.
Whether you're hiking a few miles or aiming for the Canadian border, these poles do more than support your stride — they help preserve one of America’s greatest trails.

PITCH YOUR X-MID ON THE CDT
The Kaviso x Fizan Compact Trekking Poles are adorned with CDT topography, trail map, and key checkpoint callouts like Ghost Ranch, Grays Peak, Great Divide Basin, Bob Marshall Wilderness, and Lemhi Pass. In a nod to the cottage brand icon X-Mid, we color matched the poles to a stealthy Sage Green colorway with gradient to integrate the CDT Trail Badge - the perfect pairing for your CDT 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.

COLLAPSIBLE, ADJUSTABLE & ULTRALIGHT
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 rubber tip covers for storage/transport, grip on indoor surfaces, and shock absorption. Along with the included baskets (35 and 50 mm), the poles can accommodate larger press-fit baskets from Fizan or other brands.

Iconography
- Ghost Ranch (NM): Known for its dramatic red rock cliffs and famous as an inspiration to artist Georgia O’Keeffe.
- Grays Peak (CO): The prominent 14,276-foot fourteener is the highest summit of the Front Range and the highest point on the Continental Divide and the Continental Divide Trail in North America.
- Great Divide Basin (WY): A unique, high-elevation desert “basin” where water doesn’t flow to any ocean; it either evaporates or seeps into the ground.
- Lemhi Pass (MO/ID): Historic pass where Lewis and Clark crossed the Continental Divide. A short detour can highlight American frontier history.
- Bob Marshall Wilderness (MO): Expansive wilderness complex known for its rugged peaks, deep valleys, and abundant wildlife like elk and bighorn sheep.
PROUDLY MADE IN VENETO, ITALY
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.

They’re an excellent value if having the lightest weight hiking gear is important to you but you don’t want to pay extra for ultralight carbon fiber trekking poles... They are quite refined and an excellent value for such an exceptionally lightweight pair of trekking poles.

The Fizan Compact 3's are a great pole that is both ultralight and affordable. I've put thousands of miles on my original pair including my 1500 mile yo-yo of the Great Divide Trail. I'm excited about this design collab as it makes these poles available in the awesome sage color, honors icons along the PCT, and a portion of the price supports PCT trail building work.

The Fizan Compact 3 Trekking Poles are an awesomely affordable set of ultralight trekking poles that’re tough and easy to adjust. They’re a great alternative to spendy UL poles, like the Gossamer Gear LT5s, if you’re looking to save money on your hiking kit.

Best budget trekking poles
The Fizan Compact 3 & 4 are some of the most compact and lightest trekking poles available and are somehow some of the cheapest as well.
Between their low weight and compact stashability, they are not far off the specs of the absolute lightest and smallest, while costing significantly less.
