IN DEVELOPMENT
New gear taking shape through testing, refinement and time in the field.
HOOPED BIVI SHELTER PROTOTYPE ↓
RAVEN 1
STATUS — IN FIELD TESTING
Our lightweight single-person bivi shelter project.
RAVEN 1 is being developed as a compact, low-profile shelter for nights where keeping equipment simple, lightweight and packable matters most.
Early prototypes have already been built and field tested, helping us identify areas requiring further development — particularly around waterproofing, weather protection and long-term performance.
The next stage will focus on revised construction and further field testing while retaining the lightweight, spacious design behind the original concept.
Nothing is final. That's the point.

WHITEOUT
EXTREME COLD DOWN SLEEPING BAG ↓
STATUS — PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT
Our warmest sleeping bag project yet.
WHITEOUT is being developed to sit beyond the NIGHTHAWK 1200 — a more technical sleep system designed for seriously cold nights, winter expeditions and demanding conditions further from home.
Development is currently focused on higher-performance down insulation, improved baffle construction, a substantial down-filled neck collar, increased hood and footbox insulation, and greater protection against heat loss.
The first development prototypes are currently being planned for winter field testing.
Nothing is final. That's the point.
