My trakker storm poles are on their last legs and I'm looking for a couple of replacements for my tempest . Could I have some recommendations for some decent ones please . Also what adapters might I need to connect to the tempest , thanks?

Shouldn't need any adaptors.

Fox cam lock ones and get a couple of the prologic quick release adaptors one part screws into the storm pole and the other parts screws onto the tempest storm caps

+1 for Fox Storm poles with the augered points / quick release adaptors - have had mine decades and they are rock solid.
If you want to go cheap the NGT poles are also pretty good; would def buy NGT quick release over Prologic as they are exactly the same but cheaper - £6.95 for a pack of 3x off NGT online

The Cygnet or Avid storm poles are pretty good, I've used both.
I've even used 'cheap' generic aluminium ones.
I'm wary of spending silly money on them unless I get strong steel as Sky running out of the bivvy and round the storm pole has a tendency to bend them with her lead as it pulls tight.

Another
for the auger point Fox. I found the 48" a bit long for my Tempest V2 so cut them down to about 44".

Fox are good but prefer cygnet with the two locking nuts as they never budge.
The new avid stormpoles get very good reviews,Mr Linkypoos himself loves them

Thanks everyone for the replies . I like the idea of the auger ones and very reasonably priced too . Do the ngt/ pro logic quick release adapters come in one size so they'll fit the tempest , thanks ?

They just screw into/onto a standard thread so will fit anything. I've got them, ironically I find they are sometimes difficult to pull out of each other and it would have been quicker to screw the poles off

I was just taking storm poles tonight with a mate . Iv got the NGT ones , not really used them much as they are for fishing on high sticks but they are good quality .
Infact Iv ordered another one so I had 3 for an upcoming French trip
Priced at about £22 for 2 you can't go wrong

The solar mag loc adaptors are even better but pricey.
