Yeti began in a kitchen in East Germany in 1983. Climber Bernd Exner was going on a climb in Romania in the winter, but he couldn't find a sleeping bag in East Germany warm enough for the trip. So his wife Sabine - a skilled mountaineer herself - decides to make it herself.. Yeti now create apparel and sleeping bags for expeditions and extreme conditions. Yeti is durable yet light, warm yet non-constricting, functional yet fashionable.
