Review on Mavelovs Replacement Compatible Lightweight Aluminum by Brian Samaiyar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good fully adjustable poles

Like it - absolutely smooth pillars - no dents. Unlike my old heavy fiberglass pole that broke, it's thin metal and at least half the weight of the old ones that had bumpy steel couplers. They glide like butter. The diameter is perfect. So I don't have to throw away my cheap 20 year old tent! A hacksaw can be used to cut individual pieces to shorten to fit your needs. Don't like it - you'll have to thread the elastic yourself (for a custom length post, this is inevitable) - but trust me, you'll need a pretty strong clamp (or a brave helper) to hold the elastic for 16.5 feet during You tie the last knot. Very beautiful

Pros
  • COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT: The pole folds up to 16.5 inches in length and weighs only 0.66 lbs. This is a great way to reduce the weight of a fiberglass tent and benefit from a smaller pack that's especially handy for your camping trip.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
