Hi, we are DOSHDOWN, we like to think of ourselves as more than just a jacket company. We are innovators who are focused on challenging traditional ideas around these clothes and how they can bring versatility to a wide range of people.

To 'Doshdown'
The term DOSHDOWN refers to the ability to lay down and sleep anywhere without having to lug about a bulky sleeping bag around or put people to trouble making up a bed! Simply undo the leg portion in the jacket and voila – a sleeping bag!
-
The Concept
The idea originated from travelling with a sports team of children and realising the enormous amount of space and struggles created by big sleeping bags, and thought that there must be a better way! So we put on our thinking caps and the DOSHDOWN was created.
Our approach to Versatility
We wanted to produce a produce a product that was versatile, warm water proof and wind proof. The product is manufactured to a high standard and is useful for a range of uses;
- Travellers- Always have a way to bed down anywhere with ease.
- Sports teams – Reduce baggage costs, and keep warm on the side line.
- Concert-goers - A new way to keep your whole body warm and insulated.
- Students - Be able to crash anywhere you are!
So you get the meaning of our logo – Doshdown – Anywhere!

Sustainability & Social Responsibility
When it comes to sustainability, we only manufacture to order using quality materials so as to eliminate waste. As a business we take our commitment to the communities we serve very seriously. That is why for every 10 products sold we will donate 1 to charity.
