Hot take: I spent $80 on a 'universal' tent pole repair sleeve that snapped on its first use.
It was a cheap aluminum alloy, not the steel it claimed to be, and my tent collapsed in a light wind at Lake Tahoe. Anyone know a brand that actually makes durable ones?

Ugh that's the worst, sorry that happened. Been there with a cheap sleeve failing at the worst time. Honestly, skip the universal kits and get a proper splint from Tent Pole Technologies. They make them specific to your tent's pole diameter and the metal is way better. Had one of theirs hold up for years now, even in some nasty wind.

Good call, @veramartin. That's the move.
