MARMOT
Since 1974, Marmot has manufactured performance clothing and equipment of the highest quality for lovers of theoutdoors, mountain sports enthusiasts and extreme alpinists. From its humble beginnings as a climbing club for active university students in America, Marmot has lived and breathed its passion for outdoor sports. From the very start, the aim has been to produce the best outdoor clothing and equipment in the world. Marmot’s first products were a down vest, a down pullover, a down parka and a down sleeping bag.
Within two years of putting together its first product range, Marmot started to collaborate with GORE-TEX®. This makes Marmot the longest standing of GORE-TEX®’s partners in the outdoor industry. In 1986, Marmot set new standards in the field of extreme mountaineering apparel with the production of the Alpinist Expedition Jacket, creating a highly successful classic that endures to this day.
And That’s Where We Are Today
Designing, testing, and sewing the apparel, tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks that get us all outside. We're all trying to live up to the free-wheeling, go-your-own-way, who-cares-what-people-think attitude of the early days. We go outside because it’s the best playground we can imagine. It’s a place to be creative, express yourself, and escape from the sameness of everyday life. We do what we do because we think this desire to get out and be wild is in everybody.
