I have used the tent four times. It is designed to use trekking poles. As I cycle I bought alloy poles, and I made some for porch. I am changing the tent because I'm on my own most of the time, so I'm down sizing! It's a great tent, stable waterproof and light. It's 1030gm without poles. Check big Agnes website for full spec. It was £400 new. I also have a footprint for the tent. I will post at cost, I guess about £15
