What to know about Pyrenex
They process their own down
Duck and goose down is sorted and processed at the Saint-Sever site in the Landes, much of it upcycled French down rather than bought-in fill.
Family-run since 1859
Still owned by the founding Crabos family, with Edouard Crabos as president, and holder of France's state-awarded Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label.
Down goes beyond jackets
Alongside quilted and hooded parkas for men, women and children, the range includes sleeping bags and down bedding, all from the same fill expertise.
