CARBON FIBER POLES:

 

Easton's Custom Carbon 6.3 poles are extremely light, high performance carbon graphite tent pole system.  Carbon 6.3's have similar performance in stiffness, strength and deflection to Easton's .340" poles but with a 25-30% weight savings.  These poles can use all of the components (endtips, inserts and angles) as the .340" aluminum poles.

Note that Carbon tubing reacts differently than aluminum to situations involving abuse and extreme use, such as crushing, prolonged abrasion or incomplete ferrule insertion (which could cause splitting at the tubes' ends), the weight savings attributable to carbon are accompanied with a need for more vigilant care and proper treatment. With proper care, Easton carbon tubes will last as long as Easton's aluminum tubes.

If you need to shorten carbon fiber poles wrap the pole with tape over the area that needs to be cut to keep it from fraying.  Using a hacksaw or a pipe cutter (we sell it separately)  trim the pole to the proper length.
