I adore my aonijie multicolored aluminum poles. Best pole design I think I've ever used, and it's an original design.
My next tent will probably be a langshan. But I don't go out so often so don't need the best, and im short
where’d you get the poles? haven’t heard of them and I’m curious.
haha this definitely helps on tent fitting! 😀
I only found thos new Zealand link but these ones: https://www.outdoorescape.co.za/product-page/aonijie-3-piece-aluminum-pole
I got them on Ali express I think, so search there maybe
ooh, z-style poles. i absolutely adore that style, they pack down small and i find them reliable. i found 2 z-style poles on trail years ago, lost one in a hitch in Colorado and now use 1 pole 😋
Yeah, these ones are so useful in their simplicity. The handles are round, not ergo, which means I can change .y hand position easily and often. The non adjustable strap I thought would be a problem but it's the opposite. I can dangle them straightdown to go low on the pole (ha), or wrap them around my wrist to go higher. And they are a nice thin breathable fabric. They are lighter than carbon poles and look cooler and pack tiny. Love them
