Selway 6p Carbon Fiber Center Pole

The carbon fiber build is noticeably lighter than the aluminum pole I used before, which makes hauling it to the campsite a breeze. It fits the tent perfectly and feels solid once it's locked in, even in a gusty evening.

Setup took me maybe two minutes the first time, and the pole clicks together solid enough that I stopped worrying about it flexing. For something this light, it holds the tent up without any sag even when it's windy.

This center pole is shockingly light compared to the steel one I used for years, and it snaps together in seconds. The carbon fiber feels sturdy too, no flexing even when the tent's fully guyed out.
