Durston Z-Flick Tent Pole

Durston Z-Flick Tent Pole

The Z-Flick Tent Pole is a compact, folding tent pole designed for bikepackers, paddlers, solo hikers using a single trekking pole, and anyone in need of a sturdy yet ultralight setup for trekking pole-supported tents. Weighing only 88 grams, the Z-Flick is the stiffest pole in its class and the only folding pole with telescopic adjustment. It is compatible with almost all tents, making it the most versatile option available.

Innovative Design

Tent poles are often overlooked by tent manufacturers, leaving hikers with unstable or unnecessarily heavy options. Most poles on the market are made from tent pole material or standard carbon fiber tubes—either too flexible or too heavy. Additionally, adjustable poles are rare, even though proper height adjustment is crucial for a well-pitched tent.

Universal Compatibility

The Z-Flick Tent Pole is the most adaptable telescopic pole on the market. Unlike most folding poles, which are non-adjustable and only work with specific tents, the Z-Flick is designed to function with any tent that requires a vertical support pole.

Trekking pole-supported tents typically fall into two categories: those designed for poles with the handle facing up and those that require the tip to point upward. The Z-Flick Tent Pole solves this compatibility issue with an adjustable height range of 111 cm to 131 cm and interchangeable tips for both setup styles.

For taller setups, such as pyramid tents, simply remove the flat end cap and extend the pole further by connecting additional sections from another Z-Flick Tent Pole.

Smart Construction

The top four folding sections of the pole can be rotated, allowing either end to be attached to the telescopic adjustment system. One end features a specialized tip for grommets (similar to a trekking pole tip), while the other end has a blunt aluminum cap for handle-up tents.

Whether you’re using your current tent or planning for future gear, the Z-Flick Tent Pole is a reliable and versatile choice.
