-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I had a good experience recently replacing my fiberglass tent poles for my MSR Bug Hut 1. I contacted TA Enterprises (www.polesforyou.com) and Tom made me some great aluminum poles for under $40. They do weigh .5 oz. more than the fiberglass, but well worth it. The fiberglass were already cracking from limited use. Happy trails, Switchback
