Boa Lacing System in New Big Agnes Slide Mountain Superlight Series
Big Agnes has partnered with Boa Technology and is featuring the Boa Lacing System as a fly tensioning system in the new Slide Mountain Superlight tent series (see attached photo).
"[The] system will include two Boa lacing reels that control the tension of the tent fly through the Boa Lace Reel. The lace cable ends are fixed to a spool within the miniature Boa Reel. When the knob is rotated, the lace is wound on to the spool as the tent fly tightens. The gear train in the reel develops significant mechanical advantage so a great deal of tensioning force is created with very little effort." [By the way, the Slide Mountain SL 2 tent weighs 4lbs 12oz and the Slide Mountain SL 3 tent weighs 5lbs 6oz.] Reality
