From the Spyder website: In the realm of performance, everything counts. For nearly 30 years, Spyder has focused on every detail in engineering superior skiwear, scrutinizing the subtleties that make every discipline - every athlete - unique. Renowned for integrating high-tech fabrics, fashion and functionality, we're obsessed with keeping you dry, comfortable, and warm. Then we push it harder. Rigorously tested by top athletes across the world, Spyder embodies a passion for performance - the same passion driving you to your next adrenaline rush.

With an expanded product offering and loyal consumer following, Spyder's growth exploded over the past 10 years, and the company is now the largest ski-specialty brand in the world. In 2004, Apax Partners, a global investment group, acquired Spyder. The partnership allows Spyder to continue to expand its product line and build on the brand's momentum. David continues to direct the company as CEO. Jake, his eldest son who penned our trademark spiderwebs, took the reigns as President and COO in 2005, and is leading us to into the future.

Currently, the company sells products in the United States and Canada to over 550 high-quality specialty retailers. Spyder is sold outside North America into 50 countries through its Spyder-Europe office and through independent distributors around the globe. Spyder's vision remains focused on performance, fashion, and function. Our passion for our product is matched by our love for sport. We dedicate our past and our future to creating the ultimate performance experience for you, the athlete.
