Light, sturdy, and easy to pack, the UltaMid 2 Carbon Fiber Tent Pole is a high-performance option for dedicated adventurers who want dependable shelter support without adding bulk.

Hyperlite Mountain Gear says: 

Our carbon fiber poles, designed to our specifications, are made for use in lieu of trekking poles when pitching the UltaMid 2 and 4, Unbound 2P, and Mid 1 and Mid 1 Tarp. Our custom carbon poles are designed to be height-adjustable and tailored for the correct pitching heights of our full range of shelters that typically use trekking poles.

Our Verdict

UltaMid 2 Carbon Fiber Tent Pole is ideal for those looking to pitch an UltaMid 2 or similar shelter without relying on trekking poles. At just 256g, it’s impressively light for its strength, providing reliable support even in challenging weather. Its carbon fibre construction makes it durable and packable, breaking it into compact sections that fit easily in a frame bag or strapped to bike handlebars.

This pole, adjustable between 152cm and 172cm, is tailored to match the height requirements of a range of Hyperlite shelters. The pre-set sections ensure a consistent, easy pitch every time, which I found particularly useful for maintaining the structure without hassle.
