Replacement tent poles – lightweight but robust for winter camping

Don't know how much you want to spend but carbon fiber poles from Fibraplex might work – might lighten the load also.

I heard back from the aluminium pole manufacturer. A new set will run close to $200, and my local repair shop is
doubtful that they can repair the two damaged poles. So the carbon fibre poles may be just as cost effective and lighter. Thanks Mark.

There is a fiberglas pole replacement kit available for about $25. It contains several segments of fiberglas pole, some shock cord, wire tool, and other parts. Basically, it can be cut to a specific length of whatever the original pole was.

Try polesforyou.com They made a set of poles for my REI Chrysalis, which has two hubs and all different length poles. It fits perfectly. They look like the original DAC poles. V. high quality.

Fiberglass poles ae very robust, but not what I would consider light weight. 'Corse, a 10lb tent is no lightweight either.
These people offer most anything in the line of tent poles.

Edited to say that I didnot see the other post. Sorry!

quest outfitters sells parts you can put your own together out of al.

Have read about several issues with fibraplex breaking.

You can easily make your own poles. You can pick what strength you want to make them. Quest Outfitters sells both aluminum and fiberglass poles segments and shock cords and fittings to custom make your own in various diameters.

While I would recommend not using the slightly lighter carbon fiber poles for your particular need, you can get custom CF poles also from Fibraplex…
