Design Philosophy
The amount of down was chosen so the bag performs best in spring and autumn, the finest seasons for bicycle touring, covering temperatures roughly between7°C and 20°C. (45°F – 68°F)

In summer, I use a silk sleeping liner instead. In winter, a full-sized winter sleeping bag is necessary.

Rather than designing something for leisurely camping, we imagined adventure rides where you simply stop to catch a few hours of sleep before continuing toward your destination.

With that in mind, we deliberately pared the design down to its essentials. Instead of maximizing warmth, we prioritized lightness and packability. At only 260 grams, it’s among the lightest sleeping bags available....

Wild to think that 4 years have passed since we originally released the Doppo High Plains Drifter model. That first small batch of US manufactured “Klunker” style frames arrived with fan fare and made a splash in the realm of unique, versatile, heritage-inspired frame set offerings that we’ve since seen from other brands in the industry.

We learned a lot with that original product launch, and while we encountered some uncertainty and delays with getting a subsequent batch built- we’re proud of how it turned out- and thrilled to finally have these frame sets available to ship out to presale customers and potential riders- with a limited stock of frames still available for sale...

1) Going alone.
2) Working on something independently.
3) Nothing equal and superior to everything.
