[pct-l] Hubba Tent Carbon Fiber Poles

[Marcia]

Fribraplex already has poles for the Hubba Hubba listed as one pole, 
originally 19.1 oz/541g, made in a one carbon fiber pole weighing 9.8 
oz/278g for $130 at http://www.fibraplex.com/ebay/MSRHubbaHubba.htm

Beware, carbon fiber poles are fragile. I snapped mine is a very heavy 
rainstorm as I tried to push it through a wet sleeve and it was sticking. I 
will carry a 4 inch piece of tubing for a quick field repair.

YITGO...yours in the great outdoors, a variation of Will's YITOOD

Below is the email I got  back from MSR on getting carbon fiber tent poles
for the Hubba tent.  I  might check it out and see how much the weight 
saving
is.  I really need to  get a side entry 360 degree view netting tent.  Your 
pal,
