First impression good - quick to put up... looking to a carbon pole set next
Aquisition of a carbon pole set then, so far:
The existing alu set appears to be designed (like the tent itself) to fit in a (big) pocket... which would mean extra work and extra weight for the carbon set.
With a small running sack, space is at a premium... decisions decisions - but on paper there appears to be potential to save a full 100gms...
I can't really see this being practical as the full std set is only 185 gms anyway.
As a general rule though a minimum of £1 per gram of 'saved weight' seems to be the going rate...
There's an additional complication in that the pole ends are unique - a balljoint that snaps into a socket on the tape and the balljoint is screwed into the end of the pole... it's a clever bit of innovation from Nordisk that could be a challenge to replicate.
Ongoing, so more to follow.
