PCT edition Fizan trekking poles have been release PCT edition Fizan trekking poles have been released this week and the best part is they feature a tiny X-Mid at the bottom!Well maybe the best part is that they are a fundraiser for that PCTA with 5% of the price going to their trail building. Either way, you can get some at the link in bio. Solid lightweight poles for just $70.
