His company was established in 1920, and in 1940 Bauer patented the first quilted down jacket. Bauer supplied all of the down equipment for the 1963 American Mount Everest expeditions and used the name in its product line. In that historic expedition, the local climber became the first American to reach the mountain’s summit.
