Pole strength?
I saw another review where a pole snapped when the tent was being demoed to a customer in the store. Anyone had any issues. I'm guessing BA probably orders poles from the same place(s) a bunch of other manufacturers do so it was probably a defect. But,... I also see that BA provides a pole repair sleeve with the tent.

I had my copper spur in 50+ mile an hour winds at glacier and it held up great. I carry a pole split with me anytime I am backpacking or camping, poles can break for lots of reasons, none are indestructible.

John, I have put together many of these tenst and have yet to snap a pole. We use DAC featherlight poles much like a lot of great companies. We do have a pole sleaev in case of an emergency.
