Sleeping bag concept:
The sleeping bag is made of different filling materials to provide a windproof and cold-proof bag for most of the body surface.
History introduction:
The history of the sleeping bag was only a short one hundred years ago. It is a derivative of our cold quilt under certain circumstances. The earliest modern sleeping bag dates back to the 1880s, and the appearance time of the Mack machine gun is almost the same as that of the Nordic Fuglesang from Breien. The factory was purchased and the factory mainly produced bedding in the time of Breien. (This old company moved its production line to Tianjin in 1999. After millennia, it was acquired by the famous outdoor advertising company mammut.) At the time, Nansen explorer Nansen used this type of sleeping bag and was the earliest for extreme sports. sleeping bag. In addition to the feathers and velvet, there are various animal hairs, such as the hairs of reindeer, in the filling of the early sleeping bags, and the modern down sleeping bag will only appear several decades later.
The earliest sleeping bags have been difficult to find pictures, posted a wiki photo:
China's down sleeping bag is emerging after the reform and opening up. It originated from the second wave of industrial transfer of outdoor equipment in Europe and the United States. The first down sleeping bag was born in Guangzhou in the 1980s. Its products are mainly exported to the international market, which is now We are familiar with the OEM.
This kind of OEM factory is mainly distributed in Hebei, Tianjin, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and Guangdong, these places are also the birthplace of the Chinese outdoor sleeping bag production and brand birth.
China's sleeping bag development has a strong foreign trade, because it is based on foreign trade and has no endogenous genes. This has led to a unique phenomenon: Even today, China's various sleeping bags are still the last century. Old and even old styles and designs. In the open design of sleeping bags, color matching, multi-layered vertical lining structure, and even the consideration of chest collar and foot space, our sleeping bags are far away from Europe and the United States.
The advantage of this feature is that it is relatively easy to sort out the development of Chinese sleeping bags, because at a different stage there is a relatively single representative sleeping bag that can be referenced and combed, unlike the variety of dazzling sleeping bags brands in North America from the 1970s to the 1990s. Bizarre products.
In order to facilitate reading, the development of China's sleeping bag industry can be simply divided into:
Stone Age
Bronze Age
Silver Age
Golden Age
Because China's sleeping bag industry has its own characteristics, in the following discussion, there are domestically-made or cottage sleeping bags, OEM sleeping bags, and European and American brand sleeping bags. These kinds of sleeping bags constitute the main body of Chinese sleeping bag products.
Stone Age
Before the year 2000, it was the stone age of China's down sleeping bag industry. During this period, China's outdoor sports had just begun. Although sleeping bags as an outdoor basic equipment were important, due to the extreme scarcity on the market, the source of sleeping bags during this period was mainly overseas and private production.
The famous Sanfu is the first outdoor store opened in 1997, was still a travel goods store:
Outdoor sports are exotic goods. In addition to the very few people who could go abroad to buy sleeping bags in Europe and America 2000 years ago, local outdoor lovers can only rely on their own ways or DIY or find relatives and friends to secretly get out of the mysterious factory. Or you can get a variety of strange sleeping bags from the street shop.
Compared with China’s almost blank sleeping bag market, European and American sleeping bags, whether they are craftsmanship, design, materials, or diversification, reached the peak state known (January 18th, 18th) before 2000 years. It is a heavy-duty waterproof and breathable gore series or MHW's shadowless foot series or well-made hydroquinone lithium series, as well as Bigwall's elephant leg series and various early lightweight feather sleeping bags represented by snow lions, grunts and EBs. It has come a long time ago that various new materials, complicated vertical linings, and ergonomic designs have been realized. Only one piece of material can be improved today.
Bronze Age
The five years from 2000 to 2005 can be regarded as the bronze age of the Chinese down sleeping bag industry. The biggest feature of this period was that "domestic sleeping bags" finally appeared. Accumulation accumulated over a thousand years ago finally brought fruit after years.
Brands that are easily seen in the market during the Bronze Age have these:
THE NORTH FACE
MARMOT
MOUNTAIN HARDWARE
OZARK
CAMP
SANFO
JACKWOLFSKIN
PURELAND
Polar Star
Tianshi
Pathfinder
CAMPER
In fact, in addition to these brands on the market, due to the looseness of the foundry and the prosperity of the market, some people can buy professional outdoor down sleeping bags in some ordinary stores, and most of them are of good quality, even European and American quality products. This period is an era that many lovers really miss. This is a magical time when you can not buy professional outdoor equipment in an outdoor shop.
Bronze Age and Silver Age have one of the biggest characteristics. "Design" is highly ME, and ME is the abbreviation of MOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT. It is a well-known equipment brand. Its sleeping bags were found in the country very early, but ME or ME brand. Most of the sleeping bags OEMs in China are the older sleeping bags layout, which leads to the late stage of our sleeping bag layout has been stagnant in this pit. This kind of sleeping bag is very easy to identify, just look at the stitching on both sides of the hood to know if it is straight Sew, it must be the result of ME.
Several representative brands:
For example, the hybrid brand OZARK, Ozark entered the Chinese market very early, in August 1996 opened its first outdoor shop in Beijing. His down sleeping bag was famous among the mountain friends at the time, especially the high-altitude high-filled down sleeping bag, such as the Everest sleeping bag filled with 1,500 grams of goose down, one of the reasons for the popularity was the Tibetan team's blessing. In 2002, I went to the Tibetan club's newly opened bar to enjoy a visit to their small outdoor shop. The extremely large volume of the silver-gray Everest sleeping bag was visually quite shocking.
Naturally speaking, MARMOT's sleeping bags needless to say, various forum officials from abroad will definitely mention the world's most famous sleeping bag brand. In addition to a few American prairie dogs originating from the US So don't be surprised if you see someone scouring a marmot dryloft sleeping bag in a corner.
SHEHE's sleeping bag is also a familiar sleeping bag. In fact, the early SHEHE sleeping bag is the brother of the half brother of the MARMOT sleeping bag. SHEHE is a sleeping bag processed by the Pleiades own factory, and the SHEHE sleeping bag has too deep a MARMOT brand. However, shehe is a relatively good choice for shy Shanyou.
Compared with prairie dogs, MHW's down sleeping bags are more often seen as factory goods or even counterfeit goods because of factory management problems. This brand was also the earliest brand in the country. Until several years ago, the train station had its “special counterâ€. I must visit it carefully every time I pass by.
Sanfu also had his own down sleeping bag such as the SUPER series, but the feeling of the husband's branding has always been like a joke. This kind of sleeping bag product is undoubtedly from a foundry. In the early forums, hundreds of pieces of a 1,500-gram sleeping bag bought were actually processed at a foundry factory.
In the north of Shanyouli, pureelander and wolf claws are more common in down sleeping bags. But let purelander really be famous for his cotton sleeping bag series, purelander 250, purelander 300, and purelander 350 are the best cotton sleeping bags sold at the time, although they are extremely heavy but cheap. The proportion of cotton sleeping bags in the whole bronze age is larger than that of down sleeping bags. ,
I. Reasons for purchasing power
II. It is during this period that cotton sleeping bags have progressed in porous fiber technology, such as Thinsulate, POLARGUARD HV. This development has the potential to squeeze cotton sleeping bags under control of cost (porous fibers in the 1970s. Used in the sleeping bag) and during the same period in Europe and the United States sleeping bag in the cotton sleeping bag also has a wave of small peaks, just superimposed on China's just emerging wave crest.
3. Known for the moisture-proof pad assisted by Pulland Sleeping Bag
The most pure sleeping bag of descent is Italy's CAMP. In addition to producing luxury down products, this Italian brand is also popular among sleeping bags. From the low-end cube to the high-end ARCTIC PLUS 1300, the product line is complete and the quality is stable. The process and structure of CAMP in domestic sleeping bags is the best even today, and the vertical lining itself is an excellent structure adopted in the middle to late stage of sleeping bag development. The most famous "small ant" was the only domestic lightweight sleeping bag at the time.
Filled with 250g CAMP FORMICA Small Ant Sleeping Bag
The pathfinder's sleeping bag was launched in 2000, but the pathfinder's focus on production and processing quickly shifted to store expansion. The popularity of down sleeping bags was not high among Shanyou.
The main features of the sleeping bags in the bronze period are: large and heavy!
Silver Age
From 2005 to 10 years, the domestic sleeping bags in this period have already shifted from "big" to "small" and from "heavy" to "light." Lightweight has become widely known in China, whether it is the birth of the national forum such as 8264 or The enthusiasm of such a niche forum for equipment owners has brought about the wonderful picture brought about by light weight.
Disappearing little blue worm
There were "small ants" in the bronze period and "small blue worms" in the silver period. The blue worm was a lightweight down sleeping bag under the "Dragon Bird" brand launched by Garr. The bronze sized three-quarter down sleeping bag was a market. Blank, Dragon Bird launched this sleeping bag directly hit the soft underbelly. Compared to the ants' miserable data, we Laoshanyou have placed more hopes on the little blue worm. Sinteryx Dragon Bird first proposed double in China. Sleeping bag system, it is hard to imagine that such a brand actually died in a very short period of time, and even Gal company no longer exists.

Aggressive HIGHROCK
The appearance of the small blue bug is actually the result of the diversification of China's outdoor sports after several years of rapid development. It is also in this environment that Tianshi's original design has been developed:
Briefly explain the two “innovations†in the down-pile cotton and seamless process. In fact, the quilt is a down comforter and the quilt is a cotton quilt. The seamless craftsmanship is not really without sutures. Instead, traditional sutures are incorporated into the fabric and the surface of the entire sleeping bag looks neat.
From a development point of view, Tianshi's innovation is worth encouraging. From a product point of view, these two innovations reflect the common problem of China's foundries: the level of process is quite high, but there is a lack of understanding of the product. designer. We do not discuss the details of these two innovations here. We have the opportunity to open up another article for analysis.
The "small" card sprouts
During the Silver Period, a brand of individual sleeping bags that had a huge impact on the future was born. In 2006, the worm-eaten black insect pestle ultra-light sleeping bag that loved water and electricity surprised many people. This lightweight sleeping bag made from a combination of high quality down and ultra-dense microfiber fabrics. Quickly established a lightweight benchmark: Tare!
The appearance of ASI sleeping bags is more like the trajectory of China's outdoor equipment industry beginning to return to Europe and the United States. The appearance of the foundry's products is entirely the result of market overflow, but sleeping bags and other outdoor equipment are the same along the wilderness in Europe and America. From the "city", "Cottage" to "Corporation" development path.
ASI Caterpillar Sleeping Bag
The main high-end red worm sleeping bag can't shoulder the popularity of sleeping bags. The next Huahao used the foundry to produce the HW lightweight sleeping bag, which is regarded as pushing the popularity of sleeping bags to a further place. Different from the red worm sleeping bag, HW sleeping bag Closer to the commercialization of "standardized" sleeping bags. This "standardized" sleeping bag contributed to the popularity of sleeping bags.
The rise of Baoding Corps
In the article, it is said that China's sleeping bag production center Baoding is a very important part, Baoding has a history of OEM and down production areas, after the rapid development of Taobao after 2007, Baoding, a large number of factories processing feather products can lose orders in Europe and the United States After that, the products were directly imported into the mainland market. "Cheap, Cheap" is a feature of the Baoding Corps. The low-cost down sleeping bag has two positive and negative meanings. Of course, the positive meaning is that the local can absorb the income generated by the kilograms of down materials and products. For the outdoor market, more people can enjoy down products. The advantages. The downside is that a large number of fast, low-priced products can undermine innovation, especially the innovation of the Cottage brand.
Down sleeping bags, down jackets are also relatively expensive equipment in the history of Europe and the United States. During the golden mountaineering period, ordinary American workers could not afford a MARMOT down sleeping bag.
Blackice is coming
"Customization" is a feature of these personal brands in the early days. But behind these personal brands, there are factories. At that time, the market could not allow them to take the custom route completely. Plus, customization was an extremely niche way. It has always been thought that China will create more niche brands like ASI, along the trajectory of Europe and the United States, because from the front it seems that we are retaking the trajectory of Europe and the United States, but I have overlooked a bigger problem, the silver period of China’s outdoor The movement has been blowout-type development, and the demand for basic equipment such as sleeping bags is extremely large. If according to the development mode of Europe and the United States, even more 10 niche brands can not meet the market demand.
The appearance of Blackice in 2009 was the most important event in the Silver Age. At a low price, a very simplified category, the standard process swept the sleeping bag market. This strategy and operation meet the needs of market and outdoor development and can achieve today's well-known sleeping bag brand It was no accident. After eight years of fighting, Black Ice finally released the latest Z series. The B and G series can be used in the Chinese market for eight years with the same version. It is also a miracle in the history of outdoor equipment.
Black Ice Z Series
The big time sleeping bags in the bronze era still live on the market but they are completely darker than the popularity of black ice. This is very intriguing. Bronze old established companies need funds to have technology to have factories and factories, what are they missing? What?
The silver sleeping bag features: small and light!
Golden Age
After 2010, China's sleeping bag is not just China's sleeping bag. In the face of the ever-declining sleeping bag industry in Europe and America, China's sleeping bag has rapidly emerged in certain fields. In the period of bronze and silver, our vision may be just a brand such as marmot. With Mhw, TNF and Europe's LAFUMA, the latter is rarely mentioned. Today, whether it's YETI made by Germany's sisters, romantic French VAL, British style RAB, or the sleeping bags of the North American three small factories have already been thoroughly cooked in Shanyoukou. Whether it's Salt Lake City or Ispo, we no longer worship their sleeping bags.
Because we are not too cold!
In addition to various European and American big-name sleeping bags, Chinese-made sleeping bags have entered a more refined personal brand era. Although personal brands in the silver period also provided customization, they are still behind the foundry, and the appearance of the real Cottage brand seems more like Once again return to Europe and the United States outdoor development track.
Sleeping bag itself, the biggest difference between this period and the past is that we broke through the traditional model of OEM design. Regardless of whether it is a reference or a copycat, at least our sleeping bags begin to move toward the “designâ€-driven development, rather than the previous use of products or capacity to drive development. Maybe in a few years our sleeping bag will collide with a "peak" state, and the North American sleeping bag in the 90s of the last century could be discussed with Huashan.
Whether it is ice flame or field sleeping bag is the call of this era! Adi is old, this time the sleeping bag should be written by you ...
