SYCLONE COMPOSITE POLES:

Taking the best attributes of both aluminum and carbon tent poles, Easton offers composite Syclone™ tent poles.  Made using a ballistic-fiber, carbon, and resin matrix for the strongest, lightest and most resilient tent pole ever, the new Easton Syclone tent pole will stand up to even the strongest of winds.  According to a Popular Science study, they are 80% more resilient to failure and bending fatigue than aluminum in wind and flex testing. Syclone poles flex farther and take more turbulent abuse than any other pole material tested while still returning to their original structural shape and weigh less than aluminum poles. They described them as the most resilient tent poles ever developed       

Engineered from multi-directionally wrapped aerospace grade S-Glass composite materials, Ballistic fiber is the same material used in military vehicles and body armor—this material allows the pole to flex under force and return to shape while maintaining shelter reliability. The carbon adds light-weight strength and the resin fuses all the fibers together.

If you need to shorten Syclone 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.
