Since 1970, Western Mountaineering has been dedicated to designing and producing the highest quality down sleeping bags on the market. As a small independent company, they stay true to themselves and ensure product excellence by manufacturing all of their gear right in San Jose, California. Western Mountaineering sources Eastern European down that is never from geese that have been live-plucked or subjected to force feeding. Plumage is sourced from a mother goose farm and is gathered from the nesting areas while the geese are out on other parts of the property. Upgrade your sleeping bag today!
