Reindeer Hide

Reindeer Hide – Natural Insulation for Outdoor Life

Reindeer hides have been traditionally used by the Sámi people and outdoor enthusiasts due to their outstanding insulating properties. They provide excellent protection against ground cold, both when resting and sleeping.

• Superior insulation: The hollow hair structure creates an air layer that provides exceptional warmth.
• Lightweight and practical: Despite their insulating properties, reindeer hides are relatively lightweight and easy to roll up and carry.
• Natural and durable: A genuine reindeer hide is a long-lasting natural product that, with proper care, will serve you well for years.

Uses for Reindeer Hides

A reindeer hide is highly versatile and useful in various outdoor settings:

• Seat and sleeping pad: Perfect for camping and hunting, offering extra comfort and insulation against the cold.
• Sleeping area in the wilderness: Provides a warm and comfortable sleeping surface for tent nights or sleeping under the open sky.
• Reindeer hide for horses: Reindeer hide saddle pads are popular and provide various benefits for both the horse and saddle fit.

Different Types of Reindeer Hides

Our range of reindeer hides is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers:

• Full reindeer hide: Ideal for outdoor activities such as camping and hunting, where the large size offers both comfort and warmth. Unmatched as a sleeping mat or for added coziness inside a tent.
• Cut reindeer hide: Often trimmed into smaller pieces for use as seat pads or saddle pads for horses.
• Treated vs. untreated hides: Treated hides have a silicone coating on the back, preventing moisture absorption from the ground, making them more suitable for outdoor use in tough environments. Treated hides are also easier to clean. Untreated hides provide a more natural feel but are more sensitive to moisture and require slow drying. Both treated and untreated hides look the same on the top side; the difference is only on the back, where treated hides have a smoother surface.

Care and Maintenance of Reindeer Hides

To ensure the longest possible lifespan for your reindeer hide, follow these care tips:

• Cleaning: Shake off dirt regularly. If the hide gets wet, allow it to dry slowly while hanging. Treated reindeer hides can be wiped clean on the back with a damp cloth.
• Storage: Store the hide in a cool, dry place. Do not store it while damp, as this may cause mold growth.
• Long-lasting durability: With regular and proper care, your reindeer hide will last for many years and be a reliable companion on your adventures.
