Founded in 2006 by camping enthusiast Tim Marshall, Enlightened Equipment specializes in handmade, lightweight sleeping quilts with a focus on innovation, craftsmanship, and good old-fashioned hustle. In 2014, the operation moved from Marshall’s tiny basement in Winona, Minnesota to a neighborhood shop near the Mississippi River and in 2016 they're moving again to an even bigger facility. Today, staffed by a group of gearheads and lifelong friends, the company continues to develop products that keep people comfortable in the great outdoors.
