Clima Spotlight: Callida Sleeping Bags

Founded in 1988, Callida is a family-owned company specializing in outdoor sports clothing and equipment. The brand’s wide range of products for both civilian and military use is manufactured entirely in the small town of Myszków in southern Poland.

Focusing on cold-weather gear, Callida offers snow sports apparel, breathable and waterproof jackets, fleeces, backpacks and duffels. One of the company’s most successful products is its line of military-grade, all-season sleeping bags used year-round by the Polish Army.

Insulated with Climashield® APEX, Callida’s sleeping bags are lightweight and packable while delivering excellent thermal performance, even in damp conditions. Unlike natural down, synthetic continuous filament insulation regains its loft even after prolonged compression and doesn’t clump after multiple wash cycles. With over three decades of tradition, Climashield®’s insulation is made entirely in the U.S. and has been successfully deployed by the U.S. Armed Forces and awarded numerous military contracts around the globe.

With their unique multi-layer construction and the Comfort 20D-Ripstop fabric finish, Callida’s sleeping bags make the most of Climashield® APEX’s unparalleled capabilities. Thanks to the choice of cutting-edge materials and technologies, the sleep systems are not only exceptionally warm, but also rugged and dependable. Their classic mummy cut ensures that no space or weight is wasted. 

Callida’s innovative approach to outdoor and military equipment enabled secured a European Union grant, and with the EU’s support, expanded its product range while maintaining its focus on breathable, waterproof, and insulated garments.

Callida’s showroom is located alongside its only production facility in Myszków, Poland’s traditionally industrial Silesia region. Sales take place both in-store and through mail orders, with the catalogue sent only upon request—a testament to the fact that solid craftsmanship and quality materials speak for themselves.
