CARBON FIBER POLES:

Easton's Custom Carbon 3.9 poles are extremely light, high performance carbon graphite tent pole system offering significant weight savings

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.

** NOTE:  the 3.9 endtips are too small to work with any of the grommets we carry and the endtip will pass right through the tent grommet.  We suggest using the washer portion of the 1/4" grommets, placing it between the tent pole and the endtip when you thread the poles together.
