Fortress / Original Summit Full-Length Pole System (FLPS)

I did a three day back pack trip into the Grand Canyon October 2023, using the Summit bivy (v 1.0) with standard sized poles. The Summit performed flawlessly and was easy to pack in. The first night I used the standard poles but I didn't like the claustrophobic feel trying to crawl in and out of the bivy with the standard poles so I didn't use them the rest of the trip. Since then, I decided to invest in the full length poles and man what a difference. Easy to crawl in and out of the bag now and feels amazingly roomy inside while keeping the mosi net off of my face. These full length poles are a keeper.

Happy to have the full pole system, having the lower portion of the tent on your legs was not the move.

Just what I needed. It's been great.
