Description
The 19.5 mm Tarp Pole is a simple, lightweight, standing-height pole designed for use with Tarps and other simple shelters (it works superbly with Hilleberg's Altai). It folds down to approximately 52.5 cm (20.7"), and, thanks to a two-part bottom section with spring-loaded buttons, the Tarp Pole can extend from 186 cm (73.2") to 214 cm (84.3") in 7 cm (2.8") increments. It also boasts a reversible, screw-in tip that can be used with fabric pockets (such as on the Altai), or with rings or loops (as on the Tarps).
