Best of Best Review is proud to announce FiberSport as the recipient of the Best Pole Vault Equipment Company in the United States of 2026 award. This recognition celebrates a company that has spent nearly five decades advancing the sport of track and field through innovative engineering, precision manufacturing, and an unwavering commitment to helping athletes perform at their highest level. FiberSport has earned this distinction by consistently developing equipment that prioritizes performance, durability, and athlete success.

A Legacy of Innovation

Founded by Bruce Caldwell, Owner of FiberSport, the company has dedicated the past 49 years to designing and manufacturing equipment that helps athletes achieve their goals. FiberSport has become widely recognized for its high performance carbon pole vault poles, specialty pole vault equipment, competition discus, athletic bags, and innovative track and field products. Every product is created with a simple philosophy. Better engineering leads to better performance.

Unlike manufacturers that rely on traditional designs, FiberSport continually invests in research, testing, and product development. Through its manufacturing division, Refuge MFG, the company maintains complete control over quality, craftsmanship, and innovation. This allows FiberSport to introduce proprietary technologies and advanced composite materials that provide measurable performance advantages for athletes at every level.

Putting Athletes First

One of the qualities that impressed the Best of Best Review evaluation committee most was FiberSport's athlete first philosophy. Rather than producing one size fits all equipment, the company believes athletes deserve products that match their individual abilities, experience, and goals.

This personalized approach allows coaches, schools, clubs, and elite competitors to select equipment that supports proper development while maximizing confidence and performance. FiberSport believes equipment should be designed around the athlete, not the other way around.

Engineering Designed for Performance

Innovation is woven into every FiberSport product. From advanced carbon pole technologies and proprietary sail designs to the Blue Cam Pole Tip System and professionally engineered throwing implements, every product is developed through extensive research, real world testing, and valuable athlete feedback.

The company's commitment to engineering excellence has helped create products that are known for their durability, consistency, reliability, and performance. Rather than simply improving appearance, FiberSport focuses on meaningful advancements that provide athletes with practical advantages during training and competition.

Nearly Five Decades of Industry Experience

For Bruce Caldwell, success has never been measured by the number of products sold. Instead, it has always been about helping athletes find equipment that allows them to reach their full potential.

For nearly half a century, FiberSport has worked closely with athletes, coaches, schools, and clubs to better understand their needs. This direct relationship with the track and field community continues to shape every new product the company develops.

The company's willingness to listen, improve, and innovate has earned the trust of customers across the United States and around the world.

Built Around Quality Instead of Volume

Many manufacturers focus on producing large quantities of standardized equipment. FiberSport has chosen a different path.

Every product reflects the company's commitment to precision engineering, premium materials, durability, and continuous improvement. Rather than taking shortcuts, FiberSport invests in developing equipment that delivers lasting value and dependable performance season after season.

This long term approach has helped establish FiberSport as a respected name within the pole vault and track and field community.

A Philosophy That Honors Athletes and Coaches

One of the most meaningful statements shared by Bruce Caldwell perfectly captures the company's philosophy.

"Our products look great lying on the ground until a talented athlete picks them up and a dedicated coach teaches them how to use them."

That perspective reflects the humility behind the FiberSport brand.

The company recognizes that great equipment provides an important advantage, but true champions are created through dedication, knowledgeable coaching, discipline, and countless hours of practice. FiberSport considers it an honor to contribute to that journey by building products athletes can trust.
