Description
The Gossamer Gear The One and Two Pole Set is a pair of aluminium poles built specifically for the brand's The One and The Two shelters — not general-purpose trekking poles, but a dedicated substitute for them. Each pole measures 125 cm when set up, and the pair packs down to roughly 36 cm, noticeably more compact than typical trekking poles. Combined weight for both poles is 170 g.
The purpose is straightforward: hikers who don't carry trekking poles, or don't want to press them into shelter duty, get a lighter, shorter-packing alternative sized exactly to these shelters' geometry. The trade-off is single-purpose use — the poles won't double as walking support or fit other tents beyond The One and The Two. Anyone who already hikes with trekking poles and uses them to pitch their shelter will likely find that combination more practical; this set is aimed at people who want their shelter independent of their trekking gear.
