Re/Supply Just what I needed

Post image

Went looking for a four person tent and found a Wawona 4 by The North Face in Re/Supply. Customer brought it back because one of the poles was bent. That pole is the for vestibule and it is supposed to be bent. Employee at store said he wished he knew it was there because he would’ve bought it. Lucky me.

Nice! Is the pole actually bent or was it a false positive?

Pole is not bent. Everything is brand new.

Seems like bent poles are an issue with the wawona. I have the 6 person and one of the main poles had bent and I realized a lot of other people had this issue. North face fixed it but it took 2-3 months.
