A very clever and UL way to permit pole handles tube at the peak of the tent and remain OUT of the dirt and wet. Also it allows the pole tip to dig into the ground for more secure positioning in high winds.

These are absolutely wonderful!! Sheer genius in design, and functionality. For anyone with a trekking pole tent setup, where the pole tips usually face up, these are a great option to slightly alter your setup. For reference, I have the: StratoSpire Li and use Black Diamond Ego cork trekking poles. The adapters are adjustable, so I’m guessing they will fit most poles. Why are these adapters so great? First, in my opinion, with your pole tip planted in the ground, it offers a tighter, more secure pitch on most terrain. (desert ground not so much, however, deserts are generally much more dusty and dirty, these save your cork handles from that debris) In any case, your handles aren’t laying in the ground all night.
And finally, I find this setup also helps prevent any possible punctures or tears from your sharp pole ends.. Especially with the more expensive fabrics such as dynema, that would be a not so fun day! Bottom line, this is a great product! a pair weighs less than an ounce, they are adjustable, and offer your one more option in setup. A great addition to my StratoSpire Li kit. Thanks Tarptent for another great product!
