Kluane Mountaineering
In short
Yes, Kluane Mountaineering makes its products in Canada, in Edmonton, AB. It makes down jackets, down vests, sleeping bags. Founded in 1972.
Kluane Mountaineering began in 1972 as Original Down Equipment, and for more than fifty years its down jackets and sleeping bags have been cut, sewn and filled in Edmonton. The workshop on Whyte Avenue still makes pieces to order, which lets customers get gear suited to Alberta winters and mountain trips rather than a one size fits all product.
