Grüezi Bag stands for innovative sleeping bags made from natural materials – developed in Bavaria, inspired by the nature of the Alps. Since its founding by Markus Wiesböck in 2014, the brand has pursued a clear approach: combining wool and down to create an optimal sleeping climate. The result is the patented DownWool technology, which unites the best of both natural materials. Whether an ultralight summer sleeping bag, a robust three-season companion or a compostable Biopod – at Swiss-Sale.ch you will find Grüezi Bag sleeping bags for trekking, camping and hut tours.
DownWool – the innovation from the Alps
After three years of development, Grüezi Bag presented the DownWool filling in 2017: a blend of 70 % RDS-certified down and 30 % Alpine wool. Down provides outstanding insulation, while wool actively regulates moisture and ensures a dry sleeping climate. The combination of both materials creates a filling that warms, breathes and wicks moisture – without synthetic fibres. The result: a noticeably more comfortable sleeping experience than pure down or synthetic sleeping bags.

Biopod DownWool Nature – ISPO Product of the Year 2019
The Biopod DownWool Nature won the ISPO Award 2019 as Product of the Year in the Outdoor segment. This sleeping bag is made from 100 % pure natural materials – from the packaging to the buttons. The DownWool filling of Alpine wool and RDS down ensures a dry, warm sleeping climate. With its adjustable width, the Biopod Nature adapts individually to the body – a milestone in sleeping bag development that demonstrates sustainability and performance belong together.
Biopod series – the right sleeping bag for every season
The Biopod series from Grüezi Bag covers sleeping bags for a wide range of requirements. The Biopod DownWool Extreme Light weighs just around 500 g and packs down to 13 × 18 cm – ideal for ultralight trekking and hut tours. The Biopod DownWool Subzero provides reliable warmth from spring to autumn as a three-season sleeping bag. For children, the Biopod DownWool KidsTeen grows with the child and adjusts from 100 to 170 cm body height. All models rely on the proven combination of down and wool for a natural sleeping climate.
Sustainability – from Alpine pastures to sleeping bags
Grüezi Bag consistently uses sustainable materials. The wool comes from Alpine sheep and is sourced under strict animal welfare criteria. The down is certified according to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) – currently the strictest seal for animal welfare with ducks and geese. With the Biopod DownWool Ice CompostAble, the brand went a step further: this sleeping bag is nearly 100 % compostable and decomposes in industrial composting within approximately 200 days. A clear sign that high-quality outdoor equipment and environmental responsibility need not be contradictions.
Feater – the heated foot element
With the Feater – The Feet Heater – Grüezi Bag offers a unique sleeping bag accessory: a foot element with an integrated electrical heating system. The Feater is simply slipped over the feet and heats the foot area specifically – the body zone that cools down fastest when sleeping outdoors. Particularly for campers, van life enthusiasts and people with cold feet, the Feater is a practical addition to any sleeping bag.
