Cypress Sleeping Bags
Brand: Quest
Role: Lead Designer
Mummy-shaped
taper toward the feet and have a snug fit, reducing dead air space and increasing thermal efficiency. They are lighter and pack down smaller, making them ideal for colder climates and backpacking.
Rectangular
offer more room to move and can often be unzipped completely to serve as a blanket, making them great for casual camping in milder conditions.
Semi-rectangular or hybrid
aims to balance comfort and warmth. Proper fit based on the user’s height, build, and even gender (since men and women distribute body heat differently) helps improve comfort and prevent cold spots

Material
Outer Shell
Lightweight and durable, often made from ripstop nylon or polyester. Treated with water water-resistantresistant coatings (like DWR) to shield the insulation from moisture and wear.
Includes insulated draft collars, draft tubes, and hood cinches to trap body heat and block cold air from entering.
Design Brief
Design a line of elevated sleeping bags for family camping that combines comfort, warmth, and ease of use. These sleeping bags should feature a raised platform design, keeping campers off the ground to provide better insulation and protection from moisture, dirt, and insects. The bags should be lightweight, compact for easy packing, and made with durable, weather-resistant materials. The design should also prioritize versatility, with options for various weather conditions and family sizes, while ensuring that they are easy to set up and transport.

Insulation
made from polyester fibers designed to mimic the loft and warmth of down while maintaining performance in wet conditions. It's quick drying, retains warmth when damp, and is generally more affordable, making it a great choice for unpredictable weather or casual camping. Though bulkier and heavier than down, it’s durable, hypoallergenic, and easier to care for.

CLO 3D
Using CLO 3D, I created digital models of each sleeping bag size and style to evaluate fit, proportion, and construction details. This workflow allowed for rapid iteration, precise scaling across sizes, and realistic visualization of materials before moving into physical samples
This approach helped refine functionality, ensure comfort across sizes, and present the collection in a visually engaging way.
