What is Sleeping Bag?

While the Pryce Jones rug, wool sleeping bags were mass produced, they weren't commercially produced.The first commercially produced bag was filled with reindeer fur and kapok fiber.It was developed in 1889 by Fridtjof Nansen and the company Ajungilak of Norway, for the first expedition to the North Pole.  Today Ajungilak is part of Mammut AG, where reindeer fur and kapok fiber isn't currently used.

society of today reap the benefit of innovations and refinement all the years have brought.  Reindeer fur, kapok fiber and wool sleeping bags aren't heard of very often.  Nowadays mainly down or synthetic sleeping bags are used, but if we needed to we know we could still make ourselves a reindeer fur bag to keep warm.

Sleeping Bag represents the evolution of down insulation. Regular down is treated with a molecular level polymer to create a hydrophobic finish on each individual down plume. This finish allows to stay dry longer, loft better, and dry faster than untreated down, keeping you warmer in any environment.
