Why “OWL”— Outdoor Wild Life?
Founder’s Corner:
Why OWL ? Because OWL – Outdoor Wild Life stands apart.
The outdoor gear market has plenty of familiar names: Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, The North Face, Sierra Designs, REI, Western Mountaineering. They make excellent, reputable, solid quality—but when it comes to sleep innovation, the traditional “sleeping bag” designs fall short.

Founder’s Corner:
The Evolution of Sleeping Outdoors: From Animal Skins to Modern Innovation
For millennia, humans have needed to sleep under the stars. The gear we use has evolved from primitive survival tools to sophisticated technical equipment, transforming outdoor comfort along the way.
From Hides to High-Tech
Our earliest ancestors wrapped themselves in animal skins—heavy, inconsistent, and high-maintenance.
From reindeer hide to refinement, the development of weaving found people beginning to make wool blankets, which became the standard for centuries. Lighter and more portable, wool still absorbed moisture and lost its insulative properties when it got wet. Thanks to this problem, we would see the modern sleeping bag emerge in 1876, and early 20th-century explorers would soon drive innovation even further.
Down insulation became the gold standard for its exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio—one ounce can trap 700 cubic inches of air. The 1960s introduced synthetic alternatives that maintained 80-90% insulating ability when wet, revolutionizing damp-weather camping.
Today's Technical Arsenal
Modern bags leverage hydrophobic down treatments, advanced synthetic insulations, and ripstop nylon shells with DWR coatings. Standardized EN/ISO temperature ratings provide reliable performance metrics, while thermal mapping places insulation precisely where needed.
The Evolution SlumberSac: Next-Generation Performance
The Evolution SlumberSac™ represents the pinnacle of this centuries-long journey, and an advancement in a critical piece of camping gear that was conceived almost 100 years ago. evolution. Its advanced synthetic insulation maintains performance in humid conditions, while thermal mapping technology eliminates excess weight and maximizes warmth exactly where your body needs it most.
The ergonomic draft collar seals in heat at critical zones, while the innovative zippered footbox solves a problem every camper knows too well. When nature calls in the "wee" hours of the night, simply unzip the footbox and let powerful magnets hold it open—slip on your boots and head out without ever leaving your bag. No more wrestling out of a mummy bag in the cold. The Evolution SlumberSac™ temperature rating 20°F in its base configuration and the modular liner system of optional fleece linings integrate seamlessly to extend that temperature rating down to as low as 0°F, transforming a three-season bag into a true winter performer. This eliminates the need for multiple bags—simply add the appropriate liner for your conditions. The linings attach securely, preventing shifting during sleep, and pack separately for seasonal flexibility. At under 3 pounds, it achieves warmth-to-weight efficiency that would have early mountaineers unzipping their ‘skin sacks’ and clambering to into one of these newfangled gadgets!
Premium ripstop nylon construction provides durability and weather resistance, while the compression stuff sack reduces pack volume by 40% compared to traditional storage methods. Whether you're a weekend warrior or serious backcountry explorer, the Evolution SlumberSac™ adapts to your adventures.
The Journey Continues
From crude animal pelts to precision-engineered gear like the Evolution SlumberSac, our sleeping systems reflect humanity's innovation. We venture outdoors for the same reasons our ancestors did—to connect with nature and challenge ourselves. We just get to do it far more comfortably, with gear that performs in any condition.
