Founded in Seattle in 1972, Cascade Designs, Inc. began with the simple idea of providing a more comfortable night outdoors. Since then, we have grown to become the parent company of some of the most respected brands in the outdoor industry including Therm-a-Rest®, MSR®, Platypus®, SealLine®, and PackTowl®. Other Cascade Designs, Inc. divisions including Varilite.
Though much has changed with our growth, the recipe for achieving success has not. We strive to make innovative, useful, and long-lasting outdoor products and believe that manufacturing the vast majority of our gear in our Reno, NV, and Cork, Ireland facilities is an essential element in creating quality products that answer, or anticipate, the needs of millions of customers worldwide in their outdoor pursuits.
