Born Professionally: the Marmot tagline that perfectly describes the process in which Marmot clothing moves from the drawing board to your alpine adventures. Through and through, Marmot hold true to the belief that constant testing, trashing and refining prototypes is the only way to create a product good enough to use in the mountains. Marmot focus on the future; where outdoor sports are going and how gear needs to evolve to remain relevant. Using their global test centres in Aviemore, La Grave and Jackson Hole these prototypes are used then dissected so that lessons can be learned and the products fine-tuned to the point at which they are deemed ready for you to use and abuse. With cutting edge fabrications and construction, multi-sport and activity specific features, this trial-by-fire process has demonstrated time and again that real world testing by mountain activists will yield the best results.
