Skywalk teams up with Wechselszene Sports Promotion at the Sixtus Schliersee Alpen Triathlon and Chiemsee Triathlon Event

Marquartstein, July 31. 2015 – This year, Wechselszene Sports Promotion, the event organizer of the German-Austrian Triathlon Series „AlpenASS“, once again chose the inflatable X-GLOO Event Tent for different events. The X-GLOO lightweight tent scored points in flexibility and user-friendliness at the Sixtus Schliersee Alpen Triathlon on June 13th, as well as at the Chiemsee Triathlon on the 28th of June.

Both of these major events, which are part of the German-Austrian Triathlon Series „AlpenASS“ enjoy huge popularity among the participants, spectators and sponsors. This is the fourth time that triathlon junkies have gathered together in the region: More than 500 athletes from Germany, Spain and even Canada competed in the 1,5 km long swim course, followed by 34 km on the bike saddle and an 11 km run to the finish line. More than 900 participants and 6,000 spectators were on hand for the Chiemsee Triathlon (2 km swim, 80 km cycle, 21 km run).

The trendy X-GLOO Tent from the Chiemgau manufacturer Skywalk was right in the thick of things. In a cooperation with Skywalk, the event organizer Wechselszene Sports Promotion had three 6×6 X-GLOOS in action. In the finish area, the igloo-like event tent created shelter from the sun and rain for the competition participants.

„The X-GLOO Tent meets all of our needs“, says Sven Hindl, general manager of Wechselszene Sports Promotion. „Everything has to run like clockwork at our events, so the simple setup and flexibility that the X-GLOO system offers was just perfect for us!“

Thanks to the light weight and simple operation, the X-GLOO Event Tent is highly suited for major outdoor events like the Schliersee and Chiemsee Triathlons. Easily transported in the trolley or backpack, the X-GLOO event tent is available with a variety of clever anchoring options which allow it to be secured on any ground surface: Anchored with water ballast barrels, the chic allrounder stands securely on asphalt and can handle winds of up 60km/h. On sand or grass the premium tent can be anchored with the tent peg set. The tent material is waterproof, UV-resistant and fulfills the B1/CPAI-84-fire protection standard.

About X-GLOO:
Constructed from patented ripstop nylon, the X-GLOO Event Tent is perfectly suited as a trendy promotional tool or attractive trade show stand. The premium tent is available in sizes 4×4, 5×5, 6×6 and 8×8 meters and impresses with simple setup: only 10 minutes are required by 1 person and the tent will stand securely on asphalt, sand, grass, water or snow. The robust and yet still extremely light material of the flexible tent system allows use indoors and outdoors: the cloth is waterproof, UV-resistant and fulfills B1/ CPAI-84 fire protection norms. An additional plus point of the lightweight tent is the option for the individual design: Lettering, product photos or company logos can be applied to the roof, canopy, canopy banner, air-filled tubes, X-RELAX stool or water ballast barrels according to corporate design guidelines. There are practically no limits to designing the X-GLOO. Thus, the X-GLOO is transformed from pure event tent to image carrier par excellence. The X-GLOO can easily be closed by zipping the entrance wall, window wall or side walls closed to keep the wind and cold outside. Expansion of the covered area is simple by means of the canopy or by combining as many tents as desired with the tunnel elements. The functional LED lighting kit illuminates the inside of the tent.

Skywalk GmbH & Co. KG, composed of three divisions: skywalk, FLYSURFER and X-GLOO, was founded in 2001 and in the meantime has become a trendsetter in the development of paragliders, surfkites and tent construction.

The high-tech materials used by the tent manufacturer allow for use in any weather or on any surface and can be designed according to corporate design guidelines. The success of this company is based upon year-long experience in aviation with regard to material selection as well as function design. Diverse patents, utility patents and awards, such as the reddot design award for the X-GLOO, have been born out of the creative spirit of the company. In the meantime, a 45-member team of skilled personnel is the result of continued growth and worldwide sales in the millions. You can find more information as well as pictures at: www.skywalk.org
