Jan Haráč - co-founder of the Patizon brand - joined us for the tenth episode. Funny stories, although Honza has a lot of them, were left aside this time. We really talked in depth about one of the most important pieces of equipment ????️, namely sleeping bags. We completely went through all the parameters of feathers, fabrics and choosing a sleeping bag. We mentioned the most common myths and answered questions with unclear answers such as hydrophobic feathers and standard testing. There was a lot of information and advice that you won't just read anywhere. We focused part of the interview on how they do it at Patizon. How they think about production and innovation ⚙️, how production is carried out in the Czech Republic ???????? and where their product portfolio will continue to go. If sleeping bags are a Spanish village for you, this episode will be your salvation!
