The Z-Flick tent poles are a premium folding pole that allows bikepackers, canoeists, and other non-trekking pole users to enjoy the X-Mid and other trekking pole tents. With the Z-Flick poles we applied our first principles philosophy and focus on innovation to achieve the lightest adjustable poles on the market, the only folding poles with an external ‘flick’ style adjustment, the stiffest poles in their class, and the only poles compatible with almost every tent on the market.

More than just a great pole, the Z-Flick poles are also the most widely compatible folding poles on the market. All other folding poles only work with a limited range of tents because they are fixed length and/or have one tip style (handles up or tips up). Conversely, the Z-Flick poles are not only adjustable length but work for both tip up and handle up style tents.

We’ve accomplished this with a unique idea enabled by the external adjuster: the four upper folding sections can be flipped to expose either end, so we provide a different tip style on each end. One end has a custom aluminum pointed tip for grommet style tents while the other end has a blunt aluminum cap for handles up tents. The result is a highly versatile pole that works with virtually ever trekking pole tent on the market. They’ll work for your current tent and your next tent, making them more useful and easier to sell if the time comes.
