Seems like the days of lower grade fiberglass poles are ending or at least options are being made available outside the specialty markets.
Now I have to say that fiberglass has done well by me what with not dry/bicycle or motorcycle camping anymore ( No I never tried the moto version but did know the wants were different from car camping). Pole section breaks soooooooo buy a new section/contact the maker if you are still under warranty or just upgrade to aluminum via the many online tent part suppliers out there. Or maybe pull out that duct tape until you get home.
Also seeing many companies using UVB/A resistant fabrics and better no seeum mesh in lower and mid priced point products.
Now if they would only add more tent stake tabs for better ground coverage and emphasis the importance of well made zippers and guyline locales I'd be overjoyed.
What are you seeing in the marketplace that makes you happy?
