Every great
Down Sleeping bag starts not with a machine, but with a conversation. A conversation about a specific customer, on a specific adventure. Is she a weekend warrior who needs a reliable, cozy bag for car camping? Or is he a serious alpinist counting every single gram for a high-altitude push?
This is the core of what we do. We're not just a factory that churns out products; we are the expert workshop that brings your brand's vision to life. This is a look inside our process, explaining how we build high-performance,
custom down sleeping bags from the ground up.
Key Takeaways
- We're Your Workshop: Think of us as your dedicated manufacturing partner, handling the complex production so you can focus on your brand.
- Down is Our Obsession: We live and breathe down insulation, from fill power to ethical sourcing. It's the heart of every great bag.
- Customization is Everything: From the fabric's denier to the shape of the hood, every detail can be tailored to your exact needs.
- Quality You Can Trust: Our commitment to international standards and ethical practices like RDS is non-negotiable.
The Power of Partnership: OEM vs. ODM
Let's quickly demystify these industry terms.
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): You come to us with a complete blueprint—every spec, every material, every stitch. We are your expert hands, executing your vision with precision.
- ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): You need to get to market faster. You can choose from our portfolio of market-proven designs (like our popular cold-weather mummy sleeping bag) and we'll customize it with your branding, colors, and specific feature tweaks.
Either way, the goal is the same: to create a product that is uniquely yours, without you needing to own a single sewing machine.
The Soul of the Bag: Our Expertise in Down
This is where the magic happens. A sleeping bag is nothing without great insulation, and when it comes to the best warmth-for-weight, down is still king.
The Language of Down: Fill Power
We work with a range of high-quality goose down and duck down. The key metric we obsess over is "fill power." It's simple: the higher the number (800, 900+), the larger and fluffier the down clusters are. They trap more warm air with less material. This is the secret to creating a
Down Sleeping bag that's ridiculously warm but feels like it weighs almost nothing.
Building a Warm Home for the Down
Great down needs a great home. If you just stuff it between two pieces of fabric, it will shift, clump, and create cold spots. That's amateur stuff. We use advanced construction techniques:
- Baffle-Box Construction: We build a series of internal fabric walls—baffles—that create 3D chambers. This gives the down room to achieve its maximum loft (fluffiness) and holds it exactly where it needs to be, ensuring even warmth all night long.
- Down-Proof Fabrics: The shell of the bag has to be incredibly lightweight but also woven so tightly that the tiny, precious down clusters can't escape. It's a delicate balancing act, and it's something we've perfected.
Your Vision, Your Bag: Deep Customization
This is where your brand's DNA comes to life.
- Fabrics and Colors: Need an ultralight bag for thru-hikers? We'll recommend a 10D ripstop shell. Building a more rugged, affordable bag? A 30D fabric might be a better choice. We work with you to match the material to the mission, with a full palette of custom colors.
- Ergonomic Shapes: We can create women's-specific designs that are narrower at the shoulders and wider at the hips, or comfort-focused rectangular bags.
- The Details Matter: The shape of the hood, the length of the zipper, the design of the draft collar that seals out the cold—every single element is on the table for customization.
The Promise of Quality: Our Standards and Testing
A sleeping bag is a piece of survival equipment. "Good enough" isn't in our vocabulary.
We adhere to strict international testing standards for everything we make. This includes rigorous testing for thermal efficiency, so the temperature rating we put on the bag is one your customers can trust. For a deeper understanding of what goes into these ratings, this
sleeping bag guide is an excellent resource. We also conduct extensive durability and weather-resistance tests to ensure the final product can withstand the abuse of real-world adventures.

Our proudest achievement is our Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certification. This isn't just a plaque on the wall. It's a guarantee, verified by a third party, that the down in our bags comes from birds that were treated humanely. No force-feeding, no live-plucking. No exceptions. It's the right thing to do, and your customers are smart enough to look for it.
We also actively source recycled fabrics and use PFC-free water-repellent treatments to minimize our environmental footprint.

You test them, abuse them, give us feedback. We refine them. Once the design is perfect, we move to full-scale production, where our quality control team ensures that every single
duck down sleeping bag that leaves our factory is something we are proud to have our name on, and you are proud to have yours.

FAQ
What's your typical minimum order for a custom sleeping bag?
Our MOQ usually starts at 500 units, but we are flexible and love working with both new and established brands. Let's talk about your project.
What's the real difference between goose down and duck down?
Generally, goose down has larger clusters, which means it can achieve a higher fill power (more warmth for less weight). However, high-quality duck down is still an excellent and more cost-effective option for many bags.
Can you really customize every part of the sleeping bag?
Almost! From the color of the stitching and the type of zipper to the specific shape of the footbox and the percentage of overfill in the baffles, we can tailor nearly every aspect to your brand's needs.
What does RDS certification actually guarantee?
It guarantees that the entire supply chain, from the farm to the factory, has been audited to ensure the birds are treated humanely. It's the industry's highest standard for animal welfare in down sourcing.
