49" Ultralight Tent Pole

I've used a trekking pole to set this tent up a number of times and found it completely stable, but this folding pole is just too prone to bending. You have to use even more care and finagling than usual to get the tension right, and even then, it's always going to have some amount of bend to it. This means you lose tent height and headroom on top of all the other hassle of trying to tension it properly. I don't really recommend this for non-backpacking purposes based on the three nights I used it on a bike trip.
