   These poles have incredible telescoping ability and are extremely strong, even at full extension. Once locked into place, they don’t slip or sag. Even with a rain fly in strong winds and rain, you don’t need to worry about the poles bending or collapsing. They’re light weight but the metal tubing is thick enough where it’s not going to become malformed.

   The rubber cap with grippy feet is a great idea when using as a center pole. The spikes are long and strong enough where you could attach multiple eyelets or loops of cordage.

   After a long soaking rain, some water collected into the poles. I had to take the bottom feet off to drain and air them out, so it would be nice if there were actual drainage holes at the feet.

   I got the 4 pack of poles, but wish I would have gotten the 6 pack, so I actually bought the 2 pack also. I like there are a variety of packs available to choose from, but I’d just get the 6 pack if you’re planning on using it for a large rain fly. That would allow some poles to be used as center poles to keep a rain fly from sagging.

   The included cordage and stakes are good quality. I like the metal tightening brackets that come on each set of cordage, rather than plastic. I wish the lip on the stakes were also metal, but the plastic has seemed to work well and hasn’t bent or broken yet. The stakes are strong and can take a beating.

   The included carrying case is good quality and has held up well so far. I like when companies include a carrying case that is actually useful and durable, so that is a nice bonus.

   Overall, a great set of telescoping poles. I wouldn’t go hiking long distances with them, but they work well for general camping, tarp or rainfly use.

   I had originally ordered this set and a different type of set from another company to figure out which would be better for holding up a heavy duty tarp while camping. I quickly narrowed it down to keep this set and I’m so glad I did! We had a couple intense storms during a week of camping and everything stayed in place. I may order more poles for next year if I decide on a different setup, but it would definitely more of these. The poles stayed in their locked positions. Nothing collapsed during the week and I never had to readjust anything once set up and locked in. I do recommend extending from the bottom sections first to keep the pole sturdy if you dont need it at the full height, but I had one extended pretty high up (as seen in photo), and it held. The stakes and ropes were a great addition to my equipment. The neon ropes were much easier to see whether day or night. No one tripped over them. One tidbit that’s more of heads up if anyone else uses these in the rain: they do hold onto the water a little. When I took down camp, I held each one upside down and shook it while extended, which aided in releasing the water.

   Got the 6 pack for my Onetigris hot tent that I came across on YouTube and the chap said get these telescopic poles. I did. They’re great, not light, but they do the job perfectly and I got them for a steal))

   First the good:

   Build quality of the poles are decent, accessory tips are good quality. Relatively easy to adjust. I’d expect these to hold up to years of use.

   Now for the bad:
   They are heavy. Certainly not lightweight, but at least they are strong.
   The carry bag is garbage… about the cheapest material possible, seems like a recycled-soda bottle type of material. The bag certainly isn’t going to hold up.

   Other:
   Included cord is interesting, it glows when hit with a flashlight at night, making it less likely trip hazard, if someone has a flashlight. It is also heavy, thick and bright neon green… This may or may not be a good thing, depending on your use case.

   I bought this set of poles because I had a great experience with a different set from a different company. I thought this set would be even better because of the blunt silicone tops. Well two of them didn’t make it through the first set up. we were camping at a beach campground and the wind was blowing, nothing new in our area, but when the first two sides of the tarp canopy were up, both poles BENT . One of them snapped at the bend after I got it out of the grommet of the tarp. So while they are light weight (aluminum) and are easy to carry, they are not meant for strength. My previous set had made it through a thunderstorm and wind just 3 weeks prior. So I am not sure if this is a product fail or a weather fail. Either way, they are good for simple camping.

   I needed some extra support for my 270° Awning on my Landrover but didn’t want to pay a fortune for the AluCab items. I figured out the I could squeeze the rubber ends of these poles in to the gaps on the ends of the awning bars and they worked a treat.
   Once tied down, the awning was subjected to some highish winds and neither the awning or poles budged. They are as described, sturdy, strong, adaptable, lightweight and take up hardly any room when collapsed.

   My only complaint would have been some guidance on the guide ropes configuration but that’s more on me then the manufacturer I’d say. A quick YouTube browsing session soon sorted that…

   Excellent product and I’ve already sent on the link to this product to three people who have asked my opinion on said item. They are that good!

   We’ve used these to hold up a makeshift awning for our van on the side door and back door and as a shade for sitting under. The fact that you can adjust the poles with a twist to any varying height means you can get a shade level even on undulating ground. They are thick and sturdy and feel heavy duty but they are lightweight aluminium so easy to carry. They came with extremely heavy duty pegs and, thick hi-vis guy lines. Really pleased with them.

   I purchased these poles to help prop up a tailgate tent that collects water in it when it rains. The poles work as hoped! I love how they have the option to be used as a center pole propping up the center of a tarp or fly, and as a corner support through a grommet in a tarp. The high visibility ropes they come with are nice and sturdy and the stakes are a nice quality. While the plastic ends of the stakes are not the best, the size of the stake is good. The adjustability of the height is very nice, and they hold well once the height is locked. I highly recommend these for camping!

   I purchased six of these about a year ago for roughly £70. Am very happy with them so thought I’d get some more. Once I saw how much they had gone up in price, I quickly changed my mind. Nearly a £100 mark up is a rip off and although I realise people need to make a profit, they can get that elsewhere, but not from me or my friends.

    Just the thing I needed, both for our camping tent AND as drop cloth plastic holders to section off our dining room we’re replastering. I specifically got these instead of the other drop cloth Poles for the versatility.

    Poles appear sturdy, reach our 8ft ceiling, the grippy rubber caps hold both the plastic sheeting and the ceiling (I was afraid they would slip. They do not.)

    The fact there’s 4 of them is wonderful to make a squared off dust containment system. (I was sanding plaster for 1/2 hr followed by 3-4hrs cleaning drywall dust off of every surface in our home. I think these are the ticket. Will update when I give them a try.
