Decades of Adventurous Innovation

Cascade Designs, Inc. began over 50 years ago with the simple idea of providing a more comfortable night outdoors. Since then, we have grown to become the parent company of some of the most respected brands in the outdoor industry. 

Though much has changed with this success, our recipe for achieving it has not. We believe that manufacturing as much of our gear in our U.S. and European facilities as possible is essential in maintaining quality. By striving to exceed our customers’ performance and service expectations, we will be successful for years to come.
