MSR may have redesigned this tent since I looked at it in 2004. At that time, the tent instructions called for extending your poles to 137cm. (I just went looking - MSR website no longer includes that information in the description, but there are still reviews on BackPackGearTest, dated back to 2004, that indicate the same thing.) The Leki poles I had at the time only extended to 130cm, and the only poles I could find that were any longer were the MSR poles.

Good to know that it works with any pole.
