About us
NOMAQUITO was founded in 2010. We are a small family business and are located in Gailingen on the upper Rhine, just where the Rhine comes out from Lake Constance, and we are almost surrounded by Switzerland!
Our company is divided into 2 parts:
1. Travel + Outdoor
2. Trekking + Safari
Travel + outdoor
At the beginning, we focused on insect protection using LLI (long-lasting insecticidal net) mosquito nets, an impregnation that keeps insects out and paralyzes them after prolonged contact.
Our bestselling tropical sleeping bag was our first product. In 2011 we supplemented the range with mosquito net jackets and in 2012 with hut sleeping bags (without insect protection) - simply because the sleeping bag concept of the tropical sleeping bag was so convincing.
The XXL tropical sleeping bag followed in 2013 and we started selling the nets we used directly. This was followed by the children's hut sleeping bag Nomakid and in 2014 the XXL hut sleeping bag.
The practical aspect is most important of all our products. Lightweight, but stable. Small pack size, but without a fight. The products are sewn by Hungarian seamstresses, so we can also manufacture customized products. We are happy to grant discounts to clubs and school classes and can also offer custom-made products. Just contact us! We now deliver to Spain, Italy, England, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Austria, Switzerland and of course Germany. We hope that things continue to go well and that we can continue to walk with the big dogs for a while as a small underdog.
Trekking + Safari
Tour operators asked us if we could offer their trekking tours and safaris. We found a solution and have had a constantly growing range of trekking tours and safaris since 2017, which will soon be shown on our new platform.
