Brand Review: Marmot

Most people know Marmot as one of the most dependable and high quality performance outerwear brands on the market, that's no secret. After all, that's what makes Marmot such a popular apparel brand for companies to customize with their own corporate logos. However, there's more to the Marmot brand story than top-notch outerwear.

The Marmot Story

The Marmot story began way back in 1971 when co-founders Dave Huntley and Eric Reynolds started creating their own winter jackets and sleeping bags in their dorm room at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The company started as a social club at UC Santa Cruz, called the Marmot Club. To become a member of the Marmot Club, you had to scale a mountain with another member of the Marmot Club.

After college, Huntley and Reynolds moved the business, now called Marmot Mountain Works, to a vacant dry goods store in Durango, Colorado. In 1974 the company got it’s big break when Clint Eastwood wore a Marmot parka in a film called The Eiger Sanction. Two years later, Marmot became the first outdoors brand to use GORE-TEX in their gear and continued to be an innovator in the industry for decades to come.

Marmot’s Mission Statement and Core Values

At its core, Marmot is a company that values quality gear, an adventurous spirit, and sustainability. The company’s mission statement is as follows, “Why we make it lies at the heart of our mission. We’re a company of athletes and adventurers. We’re motivated by the richness and beauty of the natural world and the chance to experience it with others. But how do you outfit adventure seekers in their quest to explore the world’s highest peaks, map out first ascents, or venture off-trail without adversely affecting the environment? We do this by minimizing our impact on the planet and its resources, protecting wild places and wild creatures, and supporting scientists and researchers working to protect our planet.”

Marmot is able to achieve their high level of quality by working directly with mountain guides, instructors, and alpinists to ensure their products are reliable in any conditions. Marmot’s impressive sustainability efforts revolve around carbon reduction, recycled materials, and deforestation prevention. Marmot products are all Forest Stewardship Council Certified.
