Camping gear that stabilises tarps, awnings and makeshift shelters while remaining lightweight and compact. Ideal for campers who want quick setups and minimal carrying weight. Are HIKEMAN Tent Poles the flexible, durable poles worth packing for weekend trips?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Adjustability: Telescoping height range from 90 cm to 230 cm across three sections for flexible setups
- • Best for: Backpackers, festival campers and family outings needing quick shelter solutions
- • Not ideal for: Expedition-grade tents that require heavy fixed poles or shock-corded one-piece poles
Three-section telescoping poles adjust smoothly to suit tarps and awnings. Durable 6061 aluminium construction keeps weight low while resisting corrosion.
Versatile height adjustments - thanks to the three-section telescoping mechanism
Sections slide in and out with a twist-lock collar that secures each length. The range covers 90 cm up to 230 cm so setups from low porches to tall awnings are possible.
Setups can be adapted on the fly to different shelter types and ground conditions. One pair covers a wide range of uses without extra pole types.
Lightweight portability - with 6061 aluminium construction
Poles are made from 6061 aluminium alloy and each pole is specified at 1.1 lbs, keeping overall pack weight low. Aluminium resists rust and reduces fatigue when carrying.
Packing and transporting poles is easier for multi-day trips or festivals. Carrying less weight means quicker walks to pitches and less strain when loading gear.
Secure footing and reduced slip risk - with anti-slip plastic cap and 30 mm diameter
A durable plastic cap on each pole head improves grip against grommets and soft ground while a 30 mm shaft diameter adds bending strength. The head also helps with lightning protection when used as a direct support.
Poles hold tarps and awnings more steadily in breezy conditions and are less likely to slip from grommets. Strong shaft diameter helps resist bending under typical shelter loads.
