Most traditional double wall tents (mostly mesh inner with tub floor and outer rain-fly) are going to require their own proprietary poles for set-up. If you really want a completely enclosed shelter that sets up with trekking poles, you're probably looking at a single-wall tent which will have some compromises with regards to ventilation and condensation. As a starting point, I'd recommend checking out tarptent.com - they make a really nice variety of lightweight trekking pole compatible shelters that are pretty well made and reasonably priced. If you look at their product spec tables, you can compare capacity/dimensions, weight, and center height which sound important to you. Some others to check out that may have more limited variety and increasing price include Six Moon, Mountain Laurel Designs, and Z-Packs.

idoc72Thanks! Will check these, of course I have my eye on the Z-packs, but the price tag is not currently justifiable. If I were to go on a thru hike, that would be what I would get...

idoc72Sierra Designs' Tensegrity is in that same category. My wife and I used the 2 person Silnylon version of this tent for a thru hike of the Pyrenees (Haute Route) this summer and it worked really well for us.
