What to know
Carbon saves weight, but it can break under hard sideways force where aluminum would bend. Cascade Mountain Tech sells replacement parts and offers a one-year warranty, and its warranty excludes using poles as tent poles. Keep that in mind if you plan to pitch a trekking-pole shelter.
Compare
The Foxelli carbon poles are a similar budget carbon option. For aluminum from the same brand, look at the Cascade aluminum cork poles.
