Description
These lightweight, aluminum poles are a good length for use with the Cirriform SW or those using the 1P Cirriform Tarp partnered with a 1P Bug Shelter (aka 1P Cirriform DW).
If you're using the tarp without an inner, or with a bivy, you'll probably be better off with our slightly shorter, .
Made in the USA.

Comments
Please note that while people have a lot of success using these poles, we don't feel that they are the ideal support method. Here are some things to consider:
- It will be more difficult to adjust the pitch height at the head end of the shelter. You can make some adjustment by flexing the pole or leaning it to one side.
- Due to the flexibility of the poles, your pitch may be a little less wind-stable, though fine for all but the most intense conditions (this is less of an issue with the 1P shelters)
- The bottom of your poles will be more prone to sink into soft ground. You may want to place a small rock or other item under the bottom of the pole.
