| This pole is the perfect support for the Luxe Hex Peak F6 and Octapeak F8 shelter as it will adjust between 144cm and 197cm with a positive positive 'popper action' which locks the pole in place.

11 August 2023 | Alan these poles are just the right length for cycle tourers , fit in the frame bag or strapped to the top tube .a little thinner and lighter would be good but that is a trade off against longevity . i have two , one for a hex peak and one for my Hyperlite tent . all in all reasonable item for a reasonable price =happy camper This review has not been appraised.
24 September 2018 | Mattias I've bought the 197X tarp pole together with my Octapeak F8. Later I bought an additional pole to tarp, but it's very much all show, no go, because it's far too weak if you have to pitch your tent/tarp taught because of hard winds. If you gonna use your Octapeak in anything harder than a mild breeze it will break or you have to carry 2 of them, because I almost broke the pole just by adjusting the tent for rain & wind (the outer shell stretches when wet). 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Response: When using the 197X Pole with a F8 Octopeak and with tension applied all around the shelter, it will flex slightly. Howeve we have never had a report of breakage.
20 July 2018 | Les Bought with sil hexpeak f6a - just the job - extra height means i can use it elsewhere with other tarps too - the spiky end gets covered so you can have 2 flat ends if you need to - light as well - thanks again This review has not been appraised.
24 August 2017 | Philip Bought to use with a solo tarp as I don't use walking poles. Consists of three sections linked by shock cord with one end having a ten pole spike. You can lift the spike up which gives access to the shock cord so could shorten to two sections (something I will be doing as 3 sections too much for a solo tarp). The other two parts are solid ended (i.e. no spike) extensions. Good multi use piece of kit which can be easily non destructively modded. Poss little expensive, hence 4 stars. 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
11 April 2017 | Joseph Just bought 2 of these for long cycle camping trips with the family were we intend to use them as support for a large trap we use as shelter between our tents. Having not used them in action as yet a proper review is not possible however they seem well made and up to the job. Delivery and buying experience was good. 0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
