The idea is so simple, and so useful, that the American Army changed their rules to allow the inventor to put his company’s logo on their clothing. But imagine coming up with that idea for the first time? And imagine who invented it?

Eddie Bauer
You might have heard of the American shops, Eddie Bauer. They became a big group of stores, owned by a very big company. But Eddie was a real person – an outdoorsman from Washington state. Born in 1899, he patented the first Down Jacket in 1940.Mountain equipment Lightline
Hypothermia
In the late 1930s, Eddie went on a winter fishing trip in the cold waters of Washington state. In those days, winter wear consisted entirely of heavy woolen clothing. Fishermen would hike for miles to reach rivers and seas, and then would spend the day casting & reeling. Both of these made carrying heavy wool really impractical and, as a result, Eddie Bauer developed hypothermia.Mountain equipment Lightline
Goose Down
After recovering, he spent the next few years looking at alternatives to wool garments. He eventually settled on the naturally warm, light feathers of the local geese. In 1940 he patented his first quilted goose down jacket: The Skyliner.Mountain equipment Lightline
Following that, Down Jackets quickly became so popular that they were used in Himalayan expeditions, and several journeys through Antarctica. In total, Eddie patented more than 20 different types of outdoor clothing. A real pioneer who was responsible for a multi-million industry that protects explorers, hikers and keeps many other people warm today.Mountain equipment Lightline |
