Marmot’s Zipperless Wraptor Bag Takes European Outdoor Award

By replacing the traditional zipper with a magnetic closure system, Marmot has secured a Silver award at the 2026 European Outdoor Awards. The Wraptor Down Sleeping Bag, a cornerstone of the company’s latest collection, was recognized in the Camping & Travel category for its focus on durability and intuitive user comfort.

The jury behind the European Outdoor Group’s new awards program highlighted the removal of the zipper as the design’s most compelling innovation. Historically a common point of mechanical failure, the zipper’s absence mitigates fabric snagging and cold bridging, effectively extending the product's lifespan. Beyond the magnetic closure, the bag features an overlapping dual-flap opening and an envelope-style footbox, allowing for greater mobility and temperature regulation that mimics the feel of a blanket.

Jon Graden, Marmot’s Vice President and Global General Manager, described the product as a brand-wide effort to push the boundaries of three-season gear. The Wraptor is available in both 650 fill power down—certified to the Responsible Down Standard—and HL-ElixR Eco synthetic insulation. By utilizing 100% recycled polyester for the shell, Marmot aims to balance technical performance with sustainable manufacturing, offering a gender-neutral fit across three distinct lengths.
