Just wondering, if anyone has order a quilt from nunatak with the new down fill 900? I was also wondering how the quality compared to before the production was moved to Seattle? My understanding is Tom is no longer making them.

Thanks!

Nunatak remains a mystery. It appears there was some some sort of sale of the business but it is not clear what that means for the future of the business, their business model, or their products. There is some text on the website that sounds like they won't be doing much custom work anymore. I always thought that customization was one of their strong selling points.

I recall there being a bit more news on the sale back around December and something about taking orders after the first of the year, but now that is now gone. They say they are taking orders for spring, which is pretty vague if you are in the market now. I don't know if they are fulfilling orders and why there is nothing about the new owners mentioned. From a marketing standpoint, I would be out in front of news and information on the sale because there is a such a small community and customer base. I have a Nunatak Skaha jacket, vest and balaclava. The quality is excellent. I would expect that to continue, as Nunatak costs a premium based on their high quality. If their quality goes, I would expect their business to go.

I can't speak to the quality of their current offerings but FWIW I can say that I wrote them last week to ask a question and received a prompt and courteous reply from Tom offering to customize a quilt for me. Address in the email said Twisp, WA.

In the past their quality has been excellent. My hope is that if Tom is still involved in the company it will stay that way.

I too contacted them recently to enquire re a quilt and got a quick reply from Tom. So it seems he is still involved. I'm not sure as to the 'behind the scenes' changes ?
