Marmot actually began as a club, started in 1971 by college students Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley. To join the club, you had to climb a glaciated peak with someone who was already a "Marmot." Eric and Dave eventually began to make prototypes of their own products for these expeditions, and in 1973 they rented out an old stone building in Colorado and opened a rental and retail shop under the name Marmot Mountain Works.
Since then Marmot has been a strong presence in the outdoor industry, often partnering with companies like Primaloft, 3M, and Gore-tex to create award-winning apparel & gear of all shapes and sizes.
Marmot has grown and changed quite a bit over the years, but one thing has never changed: their commitment to designing the highest quality performance product.
