    We worked with the renowned aluminium specialists at DAC to develop the poles for our REAL TUNNEL tents. The particular feature of the aluminium poles is the use of variable diameter sections that slot seamlessly inside one another.

    The middle (roof) section of the pole is thinner, in order to save weight. The poles get thicker at the ends, as tunnel tents have to withstand greater wind resistance at the sides.

    JACK WOLFSKIN trekking tents have poles with a diameter of 9.5 mm in the middle and 11.3 mm at the ends. JACK WOLFSKIN FAMILY tents have poles with a diameter of 11.1 mm and 13 mm and 13.2 mm and 14.5 mm, depending on the model.

    Featherlite NSL is the latest development of tent pole from aluminium specialists DAC. It offers the best strength-to-weight performance of any pole on the market.

    To achieve the desired strength and flexibility, two different diameters are seamlessly connected.

    The ultra-lightweight connector pieces are protected by additional inserts and provide an incredibly strong connection. This construction makes the poles particularly easy to pitch.

  • DAC REVERSE COMBI

    We collaborated with the renowned aluminium specialists at DAC to develop the poles for our REAL DOME tents. The special characteristic of the aluminium poles is the use of variable diameter sections that slot seamlessly inside one another.

    The middle (roof) section of the pole has a diameter of 11.1mm, in order to withstand the forces that occur in the roof area of the tent. This tapers to 9.5mm towards the end of the pole where it approaches the groundsheet.

    The 7001 T6 aluminium alloy used provides the optimum blend of strength and flexibility. When compared to classic dome tents, the poles have much wider radius and a more acute angle at the point where they meet the ground.
    This helps them to remain flexible during strong winds and gales, gives them better shape recovery and delivers greater strength in the roof section of the tent.
