DAC® Featherlite NSL Poles

Thicker diameter poles with a thinner wall increases strength and saves weight

Expanded insert combined with a large diameter pole creates a stronger connection point between pole sections

The best strength-to-weight ratio of any tent pole available today

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)

Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh

We begin using Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh in 2004 (a Sierra Designs exclusive at the time!) and with great success. Applied as part of the PU coating to our rain flies, floors and footprints, Tent Guard extends the life of a tent by thwarting mold, mildew and fungus. Particularly on extended trips or in damp climates, Tent Guard protects a tent if it is packed or stored temporarily while wet — another bit of piece of mind for your customers.

Interlocs

Attaches the fly to the tent canopy at each guy-out point to create one integrated structure for added strength

Stabilizes tent by distributing the pull to increase strength in heavy weather
