Learn more about all the various DAC pole constructions and geometry's we use in our tents. Our expert tent designer Phil Mesdag goes over the small details that make Sierra Designs Tents so great.
Ball Cap Connector™ and SQ Ring™
The Ball Cap™ eliminates the tip and grommet at the end of the ridge poles.
Its unique shape allows the ball cap to pivot and rotate without release.
To remove, simply pop it off with slight thumb pressure.
The SQ Ring™ attaches to the inside of the tent fly and easily connects to the ridge pole and the tent fly without Velcro® or pole end pocket.
DAC® Featherlite NSL Poles
Thicker diameter poles with a thinner wall increases strength and saves weight.
Expanded insert combined with a larger diameter pole creates a stronger connection point between pole sections.
The best strength to weight ratio of any tent pole available.
Unique joining insert allows for a cleaner, smoother transition in Reverse Combi Technology™(RCT).
DAC® has greatly reduced the use of phosphoric and nitric acid in the anodizing process (cleaner manufacturing makes for a cleaner environment).
Dye-Free Optic White Canopy™
Optic white canopies transmit light more effectively to give a brighter and more pleasant environment for long hours inside tent.
Sierra Designs produces the Optic White Canopy™ without the use of chemical dyes.
Jake's Corners™
Eliminates pole rotation that can lead to pole failure in extreme conditions.
Allows for smaller overall footprint without sacrificing usable space.
Lightweight, removable, patented and exclusive to Sierra Designs.
Jake's Foot™
Strong and light, the Jake's Foot™ is the answer to frustrating set up.
Simply snap the pole ball ends into the Jake's Foot™ for secure hold.
A simple twist of the foot to the side quickly releases the pole
Jake's Foot™ allows for easy attachment to tent fly and foot print.
Quick Pitch Swivel Hub™ with H-Clip™ and Swivel C™
The Quick Pitch Swivel Hub™ has an increased angle of rotation, which helps reduce the possibility of pitching errors and aids in the speed of the pitch.
The tent body features the H-Clip™ which easily connects to the bottom of the hub to tension the peak of the tent.
Visor Connector™
New connection point for poles that allows for new and innovative tent geometries that were previously impossible.
Allows for 90-degree pole connection with easy, but secure snap in ball and pole.
Spider Hub™ (6 way, 5 way and 3 way) with H-Clip™
An aluminum hub which is flexible for any angle and any number of poles.
The Spider Hub™ is the lightest and smallest available.
The H-Clip™ easily locks in place for quick finishing of the pitch.
