Northern Feather, founded in 1901, was the first Danish company to focus entirely on the production of down and feathers. Over the decades, the company has evolved from a simple business to the creation of its own products such as comforters, pillows and quilts. Today, Northern Feather is a major player in the global down and feather market. In 1967, NORDISK Freizeit was founded as a subsidiary to focus on the growing outdoor market. In the 70s and 80s, NORDISK played an important role in the development of the European outdoor sector with its own companies in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and the UK. The brand quickly became synonymous with quality and elegance in camping.
In 1991, we changed our name to NORDISK to honor our rich history while continuing to innovate our products. Although we remain a strong European brand, we have extended our reach beyond the continent with a growing presence in countries such as Japan and Korea.
Down is recognized as the lightest and most effective natural insulation material. Its complex structure keeps waterfowl warm in winter, yet light enough to fly. At NORDISK, we firmly believe that every sleeping bag should be designed to offer warmth without compromising on weight or bulk.
We hand-make every sleeping bag in our own factory in Germany using only traceable, recycled European down. This method guarantees not only exceptional quality but also total respect for ethical standards concerning animal welfare.
NORDISK is actively committed to reducing the use of harmful chemicals. We favor eco-friendly materials throughout the production process to ensure minimal impact on our environment.
With two main objectives: to reduce PVC content while integrating more recycled materials, we have launched several award-winning products that illustrate this strong commitment to sustainability.
These include our GOTS-certified organic cotton tents, which guarantee not only comfort but also respect for the environment.
