Oatmeal was privileged to work with Lotus Designs for the first five of its seven years. From January of 1995 through April of 1999, Lotus Designs grew from a home business to a leading PFD manufacturer in the U.S

Lost Arrow Corporation, the parent company of Patagonia, purchased Lotus Designs in 1999 and moved the Patagonia paddlesports line under Lotus Designs' brand because of Lotus' stronger brand position in paddlesports.

We have taken our experience with Lotus Designs "on the road" and are offering our services to other outdoor equipment manufacturers. One of the first to take advantage of services was Extrasport, a Johnson Outdoors company and one of the largest PFD manufacturers in outdoor recreation.
