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.
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.
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.

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.

The Trek
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.
