The result is a tent that sets up very easily in high-wind conditions (unlike a tent with traditional pole sleeves), but with far better stability than modern clip-style tents.
Unlike traditional pole sleeves that are sewn into the tent body, the WebTruss is detachable, allowing the poles to be completely set up before attaching the tent body. The WebTruss is made up of sleeves into which you insert the tent poles. The WindSaber’s unprecedented strength-to-weight ratio comes from our patented WebTruss system. Whether you’re ticking the Cassin or skiing the JMT, you’ll rest easy knowing your tent can handle whatever the mountains throw your way. Light enough to carry to the high alpine and strong enough to stay there as long as you want, the WindSaber is a go-anywhere, do-everything alpine tent for core mountain folk. At under 5 pounds, the WindSaber’s strength is comparable to that of many tents that weigh twice as much. The WindSaber redefines what’s possible for a lightweight alpine tent.
If you'd like to be updated when we have an arrival date, please fill out our contact form and we'll be in touch. It will be back in December 2021 with streamlined features, two zippered doors, updated poles, and a spiffy new look. The ability to grasp a grip in multiple ways, from multiple angles, is a big benefit, too-you don’t want to be locked into a single hand position if you’re using these poles for the long haul, over many years, in all sorts of places and weather conditions.We are currently updating the WindSaber. Rubber doesn’t absorb any water, so it’s probably better for hardcore mountaineering and winter treks, but rubber in hot climes or in sweaty hands might chafe after a while. Cork stays cooler than rubber but is heavier and sweatier than foam. "The first thing you see everyone do, without fail," he said, "is pick one up, give it a squeeze, and then nod-sometimes satisfied, sometimes not." Cork is generally a favorite grip material because it breaks down over time and slowly shapes to your hand. One tester-a physical therapist-gestured toward a clutter of poles in the corner of the office, where patients had been trying them out. Grip shape and texture: One of the factors that most immediately determine whether someone will connect with a pole is how it feels in their hand. Afterward, however, set them up-that’s the best and surest way to make sure you use the poles. Despite all this, I spent several hours on several hikes swapping between pole sets, collapsing and adjusting, collapsing and adjusting, knowing in my heart of hearts that were I not researching these poles for review, I would not have been engaged in such mid-hike foolishness. Note that you’ll probably have to check your trekking poles in your luggage, regardless of size, due to TSA carry-on restrictions keep that in mind if you’re planning on flying with them. Not one of our 30-plus testers had much of anything to say about how packable any set of poles was, because, of course, they were busy using the poles, but if you need something that packs small, our collapsible pick might be the best choice for you.
ALPINE DESIGN TENT POLES PORTABLE
We realize some hikers have some extreme portability needs for which these highly collapsible poles are ideal, but for most hikers we think our picks are perfectly portable during travel. Portability: A lot of trekking-pole reviews heavily weigh how quickly and well the poles collapse for packing.
