Great quality
I used 2 of these with my Kingdom 6 Vestibule to prop it open for shade against the sun. I purchased them last minute before a car camping trip and I'm glad I had them along. When all of the shade on our site disappeared and I could hide from the sun no longer, I grabbed my poles, some guyline, adjusters and tent stakes and rigged up a cover to sit under. They seem very sturdy.

Sturdy tarp pole
Sturdy and top quality. The packed length was 29", longer than expected.

Does what it's supposed to do.
These are designed to be used with the Kelty Noah's Tarp and they do that well. I have rigged the tarp with one and two poles and they are tough. They should be, given their OD. They are bulky and not to be confused with lightweight tent poles. For their intended purpose they are great. BTW, the Noah's Tarp can also be rigged with walking sticks but with reduced headroom.
