The breakthrough design and increased performance in Easton’s Syclone™ tent poles earn the coveted technology prize
Salt Lake City, Utah — November 13, 2013 —
Easton Mountain Products, a leader in precision-built outdoor equipment, is proud to announce its new Syclone™ composite tent poles earned the 2013 Popular Science “Best of What’s New” award in the recreation category. A new material breakthrough with Syclone composite technology adds to Easton’s proprietary manufacturing of high-strength, lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber tubing. Better performance and greater value once again raises the bar of what’s possible in the industry. Easton is proud to develop and manufacture these technologies in the USA.
Syclone tent pole construction is the result of a never-ending drive to develop stronger, lighter, higher performance tents for the demanding outdoor market. Engineered from advanced composite materials using multi-directional construction, Easton’s new Syclone tent poles are the most resilient ever developed. Syclone poles are 80% more resilient to failure and bending fatigue than aluminum in wind and flex-testing. Lab and in-field tests reveal remarkable performance results in flexibility and durability. Syclone poles flex farther and take more turbulent abuse than any other pole material tested, while still returning to their original structural shape.
“For more than a quarter century, Popular Science has devoted its December issue to the year’s most remarkable innovations. The Best of What’s New Awards is our magazine’s top honor, and the 100 awardees are selected from a pool of thousands,” says Popular Science Magazine’s Executive Editor Cliff Ransom. “Each winner is handpicked and revolutionary in its own way. Whether they’re poised to change the world or simply improve your living room, the Best of What’s New awardees challenge us to see the future in a new light.”
