Have the 200cm version with 2 bars, a small tent for my small tent built, so you can even sit outside even in the rain: The aluminum poles are sturdy and beautiful really awesome small plugged together. A star deduction is available for: - The black plastic end fall off easily and are thus "risk of loss" - If the rods are assembled wet again oxidizes the aluminum and there is the risk that the rods do not slip apart; therefore occasionally with oil (eg Ballistol) maintain and always dry thoroughly. But anyway: If someone stable rods with really small pack size studied => strong buy recommendation.
