Marmot began as a mountain climbing social club founded by Dave Huntley and Eric Reynolds. Soon after, the pair began prototyping their first products in their dorm room and, as they say, the rest is history. Marmot went on to become the first outdoor apparel company to use GORE-TEX in their gear, pioneer some of the industry's first women-specific styles, and launch a featherless insulation, to name just a few of the brand's accolades. Since its inception in a dorm room until now, Marmot has never stopped creating apparel, tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks that help people get outside.
