Tent wins top honours for Easton Mountain Products

06/05/2011
Outdoor brand Easton Mountain Products earned top honours at the 2011 Utah Innovation Awards. A committee of 70 experts from Utah’s private industry, government and academic communities selected the brand’s new Kilo ultralight tent as the winner in the outdoor and consumer products category.

The Utah Innovation Awards recognises significant innovations from Utah companies. The primary goal of the programme is to bring attention to the high level of innovation taking place in the state of Utah.

“We’re pleased that the Kilo tent is getting such recognition,” said Easton Mountain Products marketing manager, Rich Packer, on hearing the news. “We put a lot of work into developing a technology that greatly improves the backpacking experience, and it’s good to see it getting props from leaders in our state.”

Weighing in at one kilo (the clue is in the name), the Easton Mountain Products Kilo tent uses a new proprietary carbon fibre pole system with patent-pending AirLock technology that connects pole sections and replaces standard shock cord. The combination of zero shock cord and proprietary Easton carbon means the tent pole system is 56% lighter than conventional aluminium pole systems.
