Hot Adjustable Tent & Tarp Poles Tent Accessories

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The MSR Adjustable Tent & Tarp Pole is a lightweight and versatile pole that’s available in 3 different sizes. All made from a collapsible aircraft-grade alumiunium.  

MSR says

Ideal for wing shelters, these adjustable poles will work with any appropriately-sized shelter. Available in three sizes, the poles have a collapsible, aircraft-grade aluminum shaft that’s light and easy to pack.

The 1.2 m (4 ft) pole adjusts from 119-140 cm (47-55 in) for smaller shelters, while the 1.5 m (5 ft) pole adjusts from 140-167 cm (55-66 in). The 2.4 m (8 ft) pole adjusts from 208-259 cm (82-102 in) to fit taller shelters.

Our Verdict

Pretty light poles given their length – hundreds of uses – MSR quality!

The 8ft pole requires a decent diameter to give it the rigidity – so it weighs a bit more than hoped. But its still a quality pole at a reasonable weight for those applications that demand it.
