Has anyone managed to replace or repair the flexible pop up style rod on the fox easy mat ?

I've only seen 1 of these mats briefly, to me they look like standard fibre glass tent poles of slim diameter, ie, more flexible. Can you measure the diameter and search for them or maybe contact Fox, see if they have any spares?

I'd suggest a tent shop might have some bits, and you'd need to crimp a sleeve over each end to join together.

The fiberglass inside the sleeve is only 3mm and seems a bit flimsy if I'm honest. I'll have look in go outdoors , decathlon etc and see what I can find

On the plus side, easy enough to replace with a thicker less flimsy pole 😎
