I recently picked up a DuoMID, being my first UL shelter. Part of the package was a Golite adjustable pole. The pole seems quite solid for the task, but on the heavy side at 11oz. I'm not a big fan of trekking poles so looking for a recommendation of a suitable pole(s) to pitch my mid. I read another thread of utilizing two trekking poles w/extenders for the inverted V setup. That's the way I would like to go, but without the trekking poles of course. The length looks like 66" for the proper pitch. Mostly 3 season usage.

Zpacks has some carbon poles in custom lengths for a good price (and weight). Will these be strong enough? Stick with aluminum? Any recommendations or insight would be great.

Well that was easy! Now hopefully they get the .600's in stock soon. Thanks everyone.
