SOLITUDE 1 CARBON TENT POLES

These are surprisingly light but feel solid, especially with the stainless steel pins gripping the ground. I set up my solo tent in gusty conditions and the carbon fiber didn't flex at all.

Swapped out my stock aluminum poles for these and the weight difference on a solo trip is real. The stainless steel pins click into my tent grommets solidly, no wobble even in gusty weather. Toray carbon feels stiff enough that I'm not babying them.

These carbon poles are noticeably lighter than the aluminum ones I used before, and the Toray 3K carbon feels stiff even when the wind picks up. The 304 stainless pins click into my tent grommets without any wobble.
