I've been impressed with their combination of very lightweight, excellent build quality and utility. I often use trekking poles, but when I don't these work very well. I highly recommend them.

These ultralight carbon fiber tent poles are the perfect substitute for setting up our tents if you do not use trekking poles. The 48” size works with our Plexamid (uses 1), Duplex (uses 2) and Triplex (uses 2) tents.

We also have a 32" Carbon Fiber Tent Pole for propping up the head and foot ends of your tent.

  • Our tent poles are made from high-quality wrapped carbon fiber tubing with internal carbon ferrules. The tubes are stiff and have a high strength to weight ratio.

  • Straight tent poles are an alternative way to pitch tents and tarps that are designed to be set up with trekking poles. This carbon is rigid, unlike dome-style tent poles.

  • The poles are cut to fold flush with equal length sections. They are bound together with shock cord. The ends have vinyl end caps.

  • Our poles have a short folded length, which makes them easy to pack up with your tent (in a tent pole sack).

  • If you want to use these with a tarp, or on an exterior tent pull out, you might want a trekking pole cup to hold it in place.

  • If you want to keep your poles organized or protect your tent fabric from the pole(s), add our Tent Pole Sack.

  • We do not do any carbon cutting, but you can cut these down yourself with a hacksaw or rotary saw. Just cut off the end and replace the vinyl end cap.

  • All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

better than the original

i recently broke the 4' carbon fiber poles that I use for my beloved Triplex tent. The replacement 4' pole I bought is substantially stronger. Zpacks appears to be constantly improving their products.

Great Poles!!

Apart from losing an end cap of one of the poles from the get-go (which was quickly replaced by Z-packs), these poles performed to expectations on a 2 night self-support kayak trip. They are very light and it was nice for a change to not have to adjust hiking poles. Highly recommend!

48" Carbon Fiber Tent Pole

I purchased the tent poles to use with my Zpacks Duplex tent while bikepacking. While I haven't been on a trip with them yet I have set the tent up with the poles. They seem sturdy and are very lightweight. So far very pleased.
