The trendy lightweight tent from the company skywalk impresses the camera manufacturer GoPro with functionality and design
Grassau, Germany 25.09.2012 – Six X-GLOO event tents were in use at this year“s Mountain Biking World Championships in Leogang/Saalfelden: Erich Grossar, the X-GLOO Austria dealer, recently gained a new client with the camera manufacturer GoPro. The sponsor of the Mountain Biking World Championships was impressed by the chic design and clever functionality of the modular tent system from Germany: „The X-GLOO is a great allrounder, perfectly suited for use in the mountains as well – the low weight makes it simple to transport and easy setup allows for use at any spot along the race course. „We were impressed that a lightweight tent system could stand on such an uneven surface,“ says Markus Stöckl of GoPro Europa Team. „It was simple to set up even on asphalt- we are impressed with the X-GLOO System!“
The innovative material of the X-GLOO is well-suited for outdoor use: The roof is water-repellent and UV-resistant. Designed according to aerodynamic principles, the premium event tent can withstand wind speeds of up to 60 km/h.
Especially on the first two stormy days, the stable event tent turned out to be a big plus for the event organizer, Leogang alpine resort. The new8x8 meter X-GLOO was set up right behind the start house, offering the downhill competitors the optimal protection from the elements before the start.
The X-GLOO was the perfect presentation platform for the advertising image of the action camera manufacturer, branded with the attention-getting GoPro-Logo: „The X-GLOO is a super fit for this active scene. And it is terrific for our promotional purposes thanks to the unlimited branding options“, according to James Clifford, Sports Marketing Event Manager from GoPro. The GoPro X-GLOOs were equipped with canopies, canopy banners and entrance walls. The camera manufacturer chose printing on the roof and canopy banner as well as printing on the inside and outside of the side walls. The white lettering with blue logo has real visual pop on the black background! And voila, the X-GLOO Event Tent becomes the perfect eye-catcher!
The X-GLOO is also available in 4x4m and 5x5m. With tunnel-like connection elements, you can combine as many X-GLOOs of the same or different sizes as you like. The Event Tent is also available with side walls, entrance- or window walls, canopy, canopy banner and lighting.
The X-GLOO is available in the X-Act variation in the colors white, blue, red or black, or in the personalized X-Pert version. „The X-Pert version allows clients to choose from any color in the Pantone color guide „, says Everhard Uphoff, Head of Sales and Marketing at X-GLOO Germany headquarters. Multicolored tents are also possible.
