Six Moon Designs 5 Section Tent Poles
Details
Lightweight shelter support poles for cyclists, paddlers, or anyone who doesn’t carry trekking poles. Available in carbon fiber and aluminum, these five-section poles provide a strong, reliable alternative to trekking poles for supporting compatible shelters.
The carbon fiber poles are custom made by Easton Mountain Products and offer exceptional strength with minimal weight. The aluminum poles are slightly heavier but provide a durable and strong alternative. Both versions feature built-in flexibility to help withstand high wind loads.
With five sections, these poles pack down to just 11" / 28 cm, making them especially convenient for bikepacking, paddling, or any adventure where packability is important.
Some shelters require two poles for setup. Check the shelter’s setup instructions before purchasing.
