Ultralight down backpacking gear
built in the U.S.A.

Nunatak's Arc Series Adjustable Girth Quilts.

This is a new style of adjustable circumference down sleeping bag that has revolutionized the definition of light and versatile.

The 'top cover' insulating style of the quilt eliminates redundant fabric and fill under your body. Two adjustable straps holds the quilt in place, with an option to include your choice of ground pad; creating a fully integrated system.

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

The Arc line-up 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 long distance hiker.

A word about production times

Everything we produce is fully custom made to your specifications of size, fill amount and fabrics.

This is a long process lasting several weeks.

In other words, getting a 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 800+ 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 experience ranges from high altitude mountaineering and backcountry skiing to climbing desert towers 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 in the heart of the 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.
