Sierra Designs: Continuing a Tradition of Outdoor Gear Innovation Introduces Waterproof and Mold Proof Gear


Press Release


TENTS-Ultra-Fresh DM 50 - New technology eliminates mold The market leader in the tent category solves the tent mold and mildew problem with Ultra-Fresh DM-50. When a tent is stored wet, it promotes the rapid growth of microorganisms that eat away at the tent?s waterproof coating leading to deterioration.

Sierra Designs, in conjunction with Thomson Research Associates, has found a revolutionary new way to protect its tents against the growth of Aspergillus niger (black mold). All rain flies and floors of Sierra Designs tents are treated for the lifetime of the product with an exclusive application of an antibacterial finish called Ultra-Fresh DM-50. This advancement in tent protection will be very important in rainy conditions that require rolling and storing of a wet tent as well as rental programs that have users bringing in damp tents. A higher level of protection for tents has just been set.

SuperSeal Floor - Finally, the best of both worlds in tent floor design The SuperSeal Floor has the advantages of a catenary cut floor and bathtub floor combined.

A raised perimeter seam means guaranteed waterproofness with no need to seam seal the tent floor. Taut side seam means better wind protection so the tent floor doesn?t whip in the wind. The design evenly distributes the stress throughout the architecture. Waterproofness and structural integrity come together.

Lightning - The lightest freestanding tent on the market The lightest, freestanding tent on the market, weighing in at a trail weight of 3 lbs. 15 oz. has 30 sq. ft. of interior room and 10 sq. ft of vestibule space. Easton Graflite Carbon Poles are 20% lighter than standard aluminum. New for 2003 the Lightning has the Sierra Designs exclusive SuperSeal Floor that combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors for complete waterproofness. Patented Clip-Locs add 60% more strength by locking poles at their intersection increasing the tents structural integrity.

Sirius and Sirius 3 - Superior value, easy to use Quick and easy set-up makes the Sirius and Sirius 3 top dog in three season tents. Light and simple with two poles, two doors and lots of interior space. Color-coded webbing and Swift Clips combine with great retail prices of $129.95 and $159.95 respectively.

The ultimate base camp for the multi-sport experience The consumer trend of setting up camp and then moving out on day adventures is gaining in popularity. The Bedouin 4 and 6 answer the call for easy outdoor living. Simple set-up allows for more time enjoying the outdoors with family and friends. Whether camping with the newly extended family or hauling loads of adrenaline gear, these tents provide protection from the elements and organized gear storage that is top notch. Large windows, a spacious awning, tons of storage pockets, adjustable venting rainfly and color-coded set-up make these tents a must have.
