That's a Fact Jack
Well made and fits most trekking poles. A great addition for the Atraplex tent setup.


Very good
Does what it's supposed to. Was a nice tight fit in my black diamond poles but a bit wiggly on my ZPacks poles. I think this is because of the design on the tips of these poles. Still works great though.

Essentials
Neoair Uberlight Sleeping Pad
What I love most about this sleeping pad is its light weight, and that it packs up very small. I had to send the first one back because of a leaky valve, but received a replacement very quickly. I love the new valve design - it’s very easy to use, and very efficient.
– Constance D., ★★★★☆
As the absolute lightest insulated air sleeping pad available, the NeoAir UberLite is the top choice for thru hikers and ounce counters, setting a new standard for ultralight comfort. The unrivaled Triangular Core Matrix offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any air sleeping pad construction, creating a 2.3 R-value. The construction gives the 2.5 inch (6.4 cm) thick pad superior stability for maximum camp comfort.
The ultralight sleeping pad features the high-performance WingLock valve, allowing the pad to inflate three times faster thanks to a larger opening and one-way inflation. Like all Therm-a-Rest pads, the NeoAir UberLite is made in the USA to ensure quality and minimize environmental impact. The pad includes a breath-saving pump sack, compact stuff sack and field repair kit.

$179.95Thermarest Z Lite SOL Sleeping Pad
A little thicker than the Nemo. It’s lightweight and does the job quite well.
– Carl S., ★★★★☆
Always a favorite of the ultralight elite, the Z Lite SOL expands upon the performance of the Original Z Lite by adding reflective ThermaCapture™ coating to capture radiant heat and increase overall warmth by nearly 15%.

The proprietary foams are softer on top for extra comfort and denser on the bottom for extra durability, making the Z Lite SOL an ideal closed-cell foam pad for those in need of an ultralight, highly compact and super-reliable sleep system.

Carbon Fiber Trekking Pole
These things are sweet. Light as a feather, and stiff as a board. I love the additional grip down low under the handles. Adds way more versatility on steeper grades.
