MSR Adjustable Collapsible Pole for Tarp & Wing Shelters — 5-Foot

Overview

The MSR Adjustable Poles are lightweight, adjustable supports designed to add standing-room height to MSR wing and tarp shelters. With a spring-loaded locking mechanism, you can dial in the perfect height: 47–55 inches for the 4-foot model, 55–66 inches for the 5-foot, and 82–102 inches for the 8-foot version. The shafts collapse for compact packing, making them easy to slip into a pack or vehicle after a day on the trail.

Why choose these poles
