The lightest weight ultralight backpacking tents areoften made with Nylon Composite Fabrics and use trekking poles instead of tent poles to save weight. While many are single-wall tents and more prone to internal condensation, some are double-wall tents or a hybrid combination of the two.
And Aluminum's sturdiness and excellent performance explain its widespread use across the tent-making industry. It is relatively lightweight and ideal for the cold winter season. Campers who have used aluminum pole tents can attest to their durability as they don't break easily.
The difference between aluminum and fiberglass tent poles is that aluminum poles are lighter, stronger, longer lasting and a better choice for backpacking tents or large tents. Fiberglass poles are cheaper to produce however, so you'll often see fiberglass tent poles used in budget casual camping tents.
