SOLITUDE 6 TIPI CARBON CENTER POLE REPLACEMENT

Setup was a breeze with the adjustable height range—I had it at 96 inches in under two minutes. The carbon pole feels incredibly sturdy yet weighs next to nothing, which made a big difference on the hike in. Definitely solid for the price.

I was worried about weight for backpacking, but at 11.2 ounces this pole is incredibly light and still feels rock solid when fully extended. The adjustment mechanism clicks into place cleanly, so setting up the tipi took no time at all.

The adjustment range from 90 to 96 inches gave me the perfect pitch height on uneven ground, and at 11.2 ounces I barely noticed it in my pack. It's held up through two windy nights without a wobble, which is exactly what I needed after my old pole cracked.
