Zpacks Straight Carbon Fiber Tent Pole

The Zpacks Straight Carbon Fiber Tent Pole is a single replacement pole made for Zpacks brand-specific shelters, intended either as a substitute for trekking poles or as supplementary support where a shelter's design calls for a dedicated pole. Its tubular carbon fiber construction with internal carbon ferrules keeps weight down while maintaining the rigidity needed to hold a pyramid or tarp-style shelter's peak under tension. At 160 g and 124 cm in length, it's sized to match the pole height typical of Zpacks' trekking-pole shelters rather than serving as a universal or adjustable pole — its brand-specific compatibility means it's designed to work with a particular pitch height, not as a drop-in replacement across arbitrary tent models. This makes it most relevant to two groups: hikers who don't carry trekking poles but still want a Zpacks shelter, and those who want a dedicated, fixed-length pole as a lighter or more reliable alternative to using their trekking poles for pitching.
