- Carbon Fiber poles do have built in flexibility. When setting up your shelter, you want to tighten the canopy just to the point where the poles create a slight bend. Then back off until vertical. This is more than enough tension to keep your shelter erect, even with high wind loads.

It’s the lightest tent pole I could find for my tent that requires a trekking pole or one of these things. It doesn’t have adjustable lengths like some heavier poles that let you adjust the pitch height of your tent roof but a hose clamp which weighs nothing solves that when combined with my fishing forceps or any rigid stem.

Z-packs calls for a 48″ trekking pole for the Duplex tent, but if you read up on forum posts almost everyone says they have better luck with something shorter. 44-46″ seems to be the most common range. I hike with only one trekking pole so I already needed at least one pole, and since I often have a camera shoe on top of my pole, I prefer not to use it for my tent anyway.
A pair of these with a rubber band to hold together comes in at 3.6oz on my scale. So for two poles that’s less than half the weight of the lightest single trekking pole I’d personally rely on. Good deal.

Well made, weighs 1.8oz on my scale. I’m using it as a 3rd leg along with my 2 trekking poles to make a tripod for my camera while on backpacking trips. I screwed a tripod head into the top of one of the trekking poles to attach the camera.

Purchased for using on hammock tarp Ridgeline for tieouts on side of tarp. Haven’t used it yet but it’s exactly what I need. Price is hefty, but carbon fiber is just expensive. More durable than aluminum, folds up small. The connection points aren’t sloppy glued like similar CF poles I’ve found online.

Must have. Good quality. Definitely pricey

Six Moon Designs produced a sturdy, ultralight carbon fiber pole, using Easton 6.3 tubing, that will serve in place of a trekking pole as a tent support at an almost inconceivably light 1.7oz, or 49g. Some people will find the 15-inch length onerous to pack, but it’s easy to strap to the outside of a pack or bike tube, and the sectioning of the pole into only three pieces allows it to be both lighter and more resilient than poles with more sections. It does need to be protected from abrasion, and if it breaks it won’t be repairable, even temporarily, the way an aluminum one would, but it is stiffer and stronger, and if weight is all then this pole is as good as it gets.
