Marmot outdoor clothing and equipment

Marmot is a premier American outdoor recreations company that was founded in 1974 by Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley in Grand Junction, Colorado. The brand's origins are rooted in a university mountaineering club known as the Marmot Club, leading to the development of high-performance gear designed for extreme environmental conditions. Marmot was notably one of the first outdoor brands to utilize Gore-Tex fabric in its products, solidifying its reputation for innovation in waterproofing and breathability.

While the brand was born in the United States, its manufacturing processes are distributed across multiple countries, including Vietnam, China, and El Salvador, to support its global supply chain. The company offers a wide range of products from technical shells and down jackets to tents and sleeping bags.

Today, Marmot is a subsidiary of Newell Brands, a massive American consumer goods conglomerate. This ownership provides Marmot with extensive retail distribution and research resources while maintaining its identity as a technical mountain brand for climbers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
