Buy insulation online – for camping, hiking & outdoor
Whether you're looking for a down jacket for cold winter days, a lightweight insulation jacket to take on hikes, or a high-quality sleeping bag for trekking tours: the range covers insulation clothing, sleeping pads and sleeping bags for a wide variety of applications and temperature ranges. As a hiker, camper or mountaineer, you'll quickly find the right equipment for your outdoor activities – conveniently from home.
Insulation jackets & warming clothing
Insulation jackets are available as lightweight down jackets, robust synthetic jackets or versatile hybrid models. Down jackets impress with an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and high compressibility – ideal for cold, dry conditions. Synthetic jackets reliably insulate even when wet and dry quickly. Warming midlayers and fleece jackets are perfect as part of a coordinated layering system for changeable conditions in the mountains and the Swiss Plateau.
Sleeping bags & sleeping pads for every season
The selection of sleeping bags ranges from lightweight summer sleeping bags to versatile three-season models and winter-ready expedition sleeping bags. Down sleeping bags offer maximum warmth with a small pack size, while synthetic sleeping bags remain effective even with condensation moisture. For sleeping pads, the R-value determines insulation against ground cold: lightweight pads for summer, well-insulated models for spring and autumn, and high-quality winter sleeping pads for cold nights and alpine use.
The category is ideal for hikers, campers, trekking enthusiasts and mountaineers in Switzerland looking for insulating clothing, sleeping bags and sleeping pads for a wide range of weather and temperature conditions. Whether you need a lightweight insulation jacket for summer, a warm down jacket for winter or a reliable sleeping pad for your next outdoor weekend – you will find equipment that is often only available to a limited extent in local stores.
Quality, materials & functionality
When buying insulation products, it is worth paying attention to high-quality materials, reliable temperature and R-value specifications and thoughtful workmanship. Certified down according to the RDS standard, bluesign-certified synthetic fibers and mulesing-free merino wool are important quality features that stand for durability, animal welfare and environmentally conscious production.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does insulation mean in outdoor clothing?▾
Insulation in outdoor clothing refers to a garment's ability to retain body heat and protect against external cold. It forms a warming layer – either as an insulating midlayer under a weather protection jacket or as a standalone outer layer with insulating properties.
What insulation materials are available for jackets?▾
The most common insulation materials are down, synthetic fibers such as PrimaLoft or Thermolite, and wool blends. Down offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, while synthetic fibers retain insulating properties even when wet. Wool blends score with natural breathability and temperature regulation.
What is the difference between down and synthetic insulation?▾
Down is lighter, more compressible and provides more warmth per weight, but loses insulating properties when wet. Synthetic insulation is heavier and bulkier, but insulates even when damp and dries faster. Down is ideal for cold, dry conditions, synthetic for humid climates and changeable weather.
Which sleeping pad is suitable for which season?▾
For summer, lightweight sleeping pads with a low R-value are sufficient. In the transitional seasons, models with a medium R-value are recommended. For winter and cold conditions, sleeping pads with a high R-value that reliably insulate against ground cold are important. The choice depends on the intended use and the expected ground temperature.
How do I choose the right sleeping bag for cold nights?▾
The temperature rating of the sleeping bag and the filling material are decisive. Down sleeping bags offer more warmth at a lower weight, synthetic sleeping bags remain effective when damp. Pay attention to the comfort and extreme temperature ratings and choose a sleeping bag that matches the lowest expected temperatures.
What is the R-value in sleeping pads?▾
The R-value measures the thermal resistance of a sleeping pad. The higher the R-value, the better the pad insulates against ground cold. An R-value below 2 is suitable for summer, values between 2 and 4 for spring and autumn, and values above 4 for winter use and cold conditions.
How do I properly care for and wash my insulation jacket?▾
Insulation jackets should be washed with a special down or technical detergent. Use a gentle cycle at low temperature and avoid fabric softener. Then tumble dry gently with tennis balls to fluff up the filling. Always follow the care instructions on the manufacturer's sewn-in label.
What insulation layer do I need for camping in Switzerland?▾
For camping in Switzerland, a coordinated layering system is recommended: an insulating midlayer jacket for moderate temperatures, a warmer down or synthetic jacket for cool evenings, and a sleeping bag and sleeping pad with a sufficient temperature range and R-value. At higher altitudes and in winter, additional insulation layers and winter-ready equipment are advisable.
