I've been snooping around the WWW to find out a bit about the TT Sublite and wondering (as a non-trekking pole user) what 2 poles would weigh. I think they need to be 37 inches. Maybe the whole package would squeak in under 800g (28oz).

The Ti Goat poles were the first to come to mind , but the max height is 130cm (?) about 5cm short of the standard TT suggested height. Maybe HS or someone from Ti Goat could comment on this.

I have the long versions that extend to 140 cm, I think. They weigh 200 grams for the two of them.

Henry has always been aware that some of us don't carry trekking poles. Even though they do not currently all appear on his website, he has a whole series of optional folding (as well as replacement) aluminum poles for his entire tent line. A simple email will get you the link needed to order whatever you need.

My 45 inch (115 cm) pole for the Contrail weighes 1.875 ounces (53 grams). Doing the math, a similar pole of 37 inches (94 cm) would weigh 1.57 ounces (44.5 grams). Since you need two of them for the Sublite, that's 3.125 ounces (89 grams).

I suspect he will have optional poles for the Sublite before it becomes available.

Patience.
