52" Carbon Fiber Tent Pole
These ultralight carbon fiber tent poles are the perfect substitute for setting up our Plex Solo tents if you do not use trekking poles. The 52” size is designed specifically for the Plex Solo but will work with other tents that take a similar size pole.
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.

Great purchase!
I bought the carbon fiber tent pole for my Plex Solo, since I don’t always use a trekking pole on easier hikes. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. It packs down small, the weight is negligible, and the pole itself felt more than durable and sturdy enough to hold up the Plex Solo. And, of course, working with ZPacks is always a pleasure!
Perfect for bike touring
Excellent height to set up a Plex Solo. Obviously trekking poles aren't ideal to carry on the bike, so this pole is the replacement - it's light and strong and folds up into short segments to fit in my panniers. Love it!
Some problems with condensation.
It’s great when it’s dry weather. I’ve been getting a lot of condensation inside when in rainy or foggy conditions though. So much so, that I’ve been carrying a sponge with me to soak it up before packing up. Love the lightweight though.
ZZZZZZ
Bought this to use for my Lunar Solo becuase I yakpack and bikepack more than hike and I don't own trekking poles. It works great, it's longer than what is reccomended for this tent but it pulls the sides up higher which vents better. Quality piece of kit and folds down super short which is great for any packing setup.
