Perfect For Non-trekking Pole Users

I have a ultralight tent that uses trekkin poles but I don't always want to use them. These poles are easily adjustable with a very good range, study yet very light and I feel they put less wear on the pockets than the trekking poles. In any event I prefer having my hands free to carrying my poles in many situations and my dog does too. I haven't used them for my sil-tarp yet but I don't see why they wouldn't work just as well.

These Work Great In A Hex Tarp Setup!

When I first bought these, I'd intended to use them with a basha shelter. But, the basha doesn't do that well of a job keeping the wind out! So, I found a guy named "Papa Hiker," and pitched several of his enclosed tarp shelters! I found a modified version of his Hex Tarp pitch, and those poles fit the bill perfectly! The shelter calls for a 125 cm trekking pole, but it just doesn't collapse for easy storage; these poles do! I have no problems crawling into the tarp, and with another tarp on the ground underneath, I'm dry! Ventilation is my only problem... other than that, these poles are great!

They Work.

I purchased a Big Agnes tent that used trekking poles rather that having tent poles. I purchased these tarp poles so I could use the tent on bike trips. They seem to work in a home test. I only gave them four stars due to my lack of field testing over repeated trips. They do seem well made and durable. The lengths are well marked (in metric numbers). I typically like to travel light, so I am pleased that this minimalist 2-person tent weighs less four pounds.

Trekking Poles Or Not!

I purchased a Big Agnes tent for lightweight backpacking, and decided that adventure bikepacking is a go too...so, I ordered these poles to use when I don't have my Trekking Poles. The adjustable option is perfect and I might even consider taking these poles when I just don't take the hiking sticks for a short trip. Must buy! Cheers,
