About Therm-A-Rest and MSR -
Therm-A-Rest and MSR are two of the most well-known and innovative brands in the outdoor industry. Cascade Designs was founded in Seattle, WA to sell Therm-A-Rest sleeping pads when the original patent was filed for their now iconic self-inflating sleeping pad in 1972! Therm-A-Rest's most well-known sleeping pads are still found in many gear closets: The Z-Lite and the NeoAir.
MSR (Mountain Safety Research) is behind some of the biggest innovations in stoves, tents, water filters, and more! MSR was founded in 1969 by famed Seattle-based mountaineer Larry Penberthy who wanted to create better and safer outdoor equipment. MSR is famous for their water filtration and stove technology in products like the Guardian Filter and WindBurner Stove.
