Born to Break Free

Why go all the way outside just to fit in? For over 50 years, we’ve blazed our own trail so you can, too. Breaking the status quo to make better gear has always been our M.O.–and helping you break new ground in trustworthy gear has always been our goal. From first ascents to your first time, our gear is designed to follow your lead, whether you’re chasing dreams, peaks, and PR’s–or just searching for a good time.

Outside Never Grows Old

Out there is not just a pin on a map or a checklist of thru-hikes and 14’ers. It’s an unshakeable feeling we get every time we step outside, no matter how many times we’ve been there before.

For Every Walk of Life

No matter how you choose to experience what’s out there, there’s a place for you here. From weekend warriors to lifetime wanderers and first-timers to seven-summiters, we’re all united by that first step out the door.

Far Out From The Start

It all started on an Alaskan glacier, where U.C. Santa Cruz students Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley bonded over a love of climbing and a shared outsider mentality. Named after Marmots, the screeching ground squirrels found gallivanting the high alpines of the West, the Marmot Outdoor Club was born. This “club” was a loose and welcoming collective for oddball mountain misfits that didn’t quite fit in any one box, but shared a love of the outdoors. Joining was simple: Bag a peak with a fellow member, and you’re in–for life. No invitation required, anyone was welcome.
