Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score

Helinox's UK page gives 225 g per piece, 450 g per pair: the 450-549 g band. Helinox's EU store lists 210 g a pole (420 g a pair, which would be the 300-449 g band); where figures disagree the lower-scoring one is banded, so 450 g is used.
Packed size

Helinox gives 51 cm collapsed: the 45-54.9 cm band.
