MSR Lightweight Adjustable Poles

These adjustable poles are a perfect match for wing shelters and can be used with any properly - sized shelter. They come in three handy sizes. Crafted from collapsible, aircraft - grade aluminum, the poles are incredibly light and a breeze to pack. The 1.2 m (4 ft) pole offers an adjustment range of 119 - 140 cm (47 - 55 in), ideal for smaller shelters. The 1.5 m (5 ft) pole adjusts from 140 - 167 cm (55 - 66 in), while the 2.4 m (8 ft) pole can be set from 208 - 259 cm (82 - 102 in) to fit taller shelters. As for weight, the 1.2 m pole weighs 0.19kg, the 1.5 m one is 0.28kg, and the 2.4 m pole tips the scales at 0.62kg.

Using these poles is easy. First, pick the right size pole according to the height of your shelter. Then, adjust the pole to the desired length within its adjustable range. Make sure it's firmly set up to support your shelter. When it comes to maintenance, keep the poles dry after use to prevent rust. Store them in a cool and dry place. Also, handle them gently as they are lightweight, so avoid applying excessive force that could damage the collapsible aluminum shaft.
