When used with a footprint covering the entire surface, you get a complete and versatile single-wall shelter.

Extension tube : 38g

The required length for the central pole is 150cm. We advise to use both of your trekking poles strapped together with the included webbing as a central pole. This solution is the lightest (5g) and very resistant : instuctions here (pdf).

If you use a single trekking pole, you can use the tube extension : this aluminium tube allows you to gain about 25cm of height on your trekking pole.
