Ultralight Down Gear hand made in the U.S.A.

Nunatak's Arc Series Adjustable Girth Quilts

Our new quit style of adjustable circumference down sleeping bag has revolutionized the definition of light and versatile.

The 'top cover' insulating style of the Arc style quilt eliminates redundant fabric and fill under your body. Two adjustable straps hold the quilt in place over your choice of ground pad.

There's no failure prone zipper on any of our Arc designs. The small pack-volume, low weight and strategic loft of quilts far outperforms regular ultralight sleeping bags.

The Arc line consists of 7 different models based on the same concept, from the 5° F rated Arc Expedition with its full 3.5" of down filled loft to the highly specialized Arc A.T., the ultimate tool for the fast and light.

Based in the North Cascade mountains of Washington State, we hand build innovative ultralight down quilts, sleeping bags and down jackets. Each is custom made and engineered for back country adventure.

A word about production times

Everything we produce is fully custom made to your specifications of size, fill amount and fabrics. We work with you to custom design bags and down jackets that work for you best.

This is a long process lasting several weeks.

In other words, getting an ultra-light bag in a matter of days is probably not an option unless we happen to
have a demo or the odd overstock
of your preferred model.

     
         
 
     

What is Nunatak?

Nunatak Gear is dedicated to custom design and manufacture of quality ultralight sleeping bags and lightweight down jackets utilizing 875-965 goose down and sophisticated shell fabrics.

Nunatak is also a real business run by seasoned backcountry folks who've logged thousands of days in the wilderness. Our experiences range from high altitude mountaineering and backcountry skiing to climbing desert towers or alpine walls and doing multi week ultralight backpacks.

All this rambling about has translated into a desire to improve certain aspects of the gear, particularly sleeping bags.
Hence Nunatak, founded in the winter 1999.

From a basement operation in West Seattle with a bunch of good ideas and little else, we are now a full time business with a real shop located near Twisp in the heart of the wild North Cascades.

Nunatak has pioneered several groundbreaking designs on the ultralight backpacking scene, most notably the immensely successful Arc line of adjustable girth down sleeping quilts.

Practically all of our days off are spent in the mountains and every trip brings up new ways to improve the gear we're using.

Nunatak is designed and manufactured by backcountry specialists entirely here in the U.S.A.. We do it the good old fashioned way, one at a time.
