Here's how it all started....
Vilse Equipment began with a single quilt and a change of plans for a summer hike. What started as a side project quickly grew into something more, as the living room transformed into a full-blown workshop, complete with industrial sewing machines, laser cutters and clouds of down.
Vilse is the Swedish word for “getting lost.” While many might think getting lost in the woods or mountains is a bad thing, we see it differently. Losing yourself to the landscape, to the wild, and most importantly, to the comfort of your super-puffy, warm, and ultra lightweight Vilse Quilt.
Today, Vilse Equipment is a small team based in Malmö, Sweden sewing all the custom quilts, with a sister workshop in Konin, Poland creating our stock quilts (coming soon!). With a strong focus on quality, transparency, and local manufacturing, we aim to offer thoughtful, well-made gear to the growing European ultralight community. At its heart, Vilse is about helping others venture further, lighter, safer, and more comfortably. Oh, and to get lost... In the good way!
