Komperdell Explorer Compact Power Lock Trekking Poles

Perfect sizing and strong

Review for Komperdell Explorer Compact Power Lock Trekking Poles

Short and strong, like me! Actually, they expand to taller than I'd ever need for walking, but tall enough for my cuben fiber Zpacks tent. I really appreciate how short they contract to for carrying on my pack when needed. I'm not a fan of carbon fiber poles (splintering potential), so I was pleased to get aluminum poles this lightweight. Great locking mechanism. I'm an admitted Komperdell fan, having had their poles in the past.

Big Agnes Foidel Canyon 2 Tent - 2 Person, 3 Season

Amazingly tough fabrics and poles for the weight.

Review for Big Agnes Foidel Canyon 2 Tent - 2 Person, 3 Season

I usually do shoulder season lightweight backpacking, but wanted something I could use in winter with my Siberian husky. So my needs were 4-season capability, 2-layers to prevent condensation, and tough fabric for my dog's paws. This tent meets those needs admirably. I own five Big Agnes tents (yes, it's a sickness)... this one is the easiest to erect of all. It's heavier than my ultralights, but I'm amazed at just how light it is given the super tough 100d HMPE rip-stop fabric and the extra hefty poles. Really a beautiful tent. Plenty large enough for me and the big dog. I'm looking forward to winter!
