Best Made Product Preview: The Sporting-Sail
Best Made Company will be offering an exciting new product known as The Sporting-Sail. In anticipation of its launch founder Billy Smith takes us on a 2000 km skateboard adventure across Morocco, and offers up some alternate uses for the sail.
Aside from slowing down or accelerating on various ski and board set-ups, the Sporting-Sail lends itself to other functions that serve as an essential part to the sporting life. During a recent long distance skateboarding adventure 2000km across Morocco, the Sporting-Sail found itself useful as a pack cover and rooster carrier! The Sporting-Sail weighs around 8 ounces and is highly adaptable which makes transport easy in stressful situations. The fabric of the Sporting-Sail is treated on both sides with a dual soar coat silicone formula that allows for a CFM rating of zero; ultimately stopping all wind and water that tries to penetrate through. Since the Sporting-Sail’s signature material is so versatile, there have been instances where it has been used to construct make-shift shelters and tent variations for “on the go” scenarios. The red and white color scheme of the Sporting-Sail works as an effective signaling device/flag for increased visibility. Being seen (or being found) is especially important in high risk areas. In the case of an emergency, the Sporting-Sail works as a water collector or wind proof blanket. In the event of injury, the sail can be made into an ultra-light escape sled, portable gurney or pressure tourniquet.-Billy Smith (founder, Sporting-Sails)
