LOUISVILLE, COLO.
(April 19, 2005) - Sierra Designs, a technical leader in developing
innovative outdoor products including tents, sleeping bags and
clothing, today announced Outside Magazine chose its Reverse Combi tent
as "Gear of the Year" for 2005.
New and exclusive for 2005, the Sierra Designs Reverse Combi
utilizes an innovative variable pole diameter system with pre-bent pole
sections allowing the x-tents internal volume to increase by 50
percent. The steeper walls provide for more livable space and the
combination of 9.9 mm and 8.5 mm poles provides a very strong
three-season structure for any type of weather condition. Weighing a
minimal 5 pounds, 5 ounces and totaling 32 square feet, this new
technology has revolutionized the future of tent design allowing for
more livable space.
"Marking our 40th anniversary, we packed our 2005 equipment line
with revolutionary designs, features and innovations," said Mark
Herbert, president of Sierra Designs. "Once again we are pleased to
work in partnership with Jake Lah and his outstanding team at DAC to
bring true innovation to the 3-season tent market. We are thrilled that
the Reverse Combi tent was given such huge recognition and
acknowledgement from Outside."
Every year, Outside honors 15 adventure products that seamlessly
merge design, functionality and performance. Categories include:
adventure electronics, backpacks, luggage, bikes, cameras, camp stoves,
camping tents, sleeping bags, jackets, hiking boots and shoes,
binoculars, sunglasses, sport racks and kayaks. For more information,
