A couple of Austrian start-ups have won the Ispo Brandnew Awards for 2017 by developing innovative outdoor products. One of them is Startraveller Equipment, the company that launched earlier this year the Flying Tent, a multifunctional pop-up tent that opens up in only seven seconds and that can also be turned into a rainproof hammock or a poncho. The other Austrian winner is Breddy's, whose water-repellent, breathable and fast-drying Crossover pants can be worn as casual or travel pants. It won the prize in the athleisure category. The two companies were two of the eight winners of the annual Ispo Brandnew contest organized by Ispo Munich. They were among the 42 finalists picked by an international jury from nearly 400 submissions to show free of charge in Hall B5 at next February's edition of the fair.
