Obermeyer News from Aspen, Colorado

2011 Product Sneak Peak

Yukon in Deep Blue

Yukon

The Yukon is our freeride fit pant/ charger pant for the season. It’s got a great durable work-wear look. We used black oxidized rivets to anchor the pockets in place and prevent rips. In addition, we installed large tightly webbed nylon belt loops with rivet fastening to add to that, “dependable” look. The Yukon is made of robust, long-life canvas type fabrics that come in a variety of earth tones. This is definitely our blue collar pant in the group. We think the “deep blue” (pictured here) looks great with a white, grey or black jacket.

Josie in White

JosieFor this piece, the design team got their inspiration from the famous Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. Kim, one of Obermeyer’s lead designers described the Josie as “a very fresh and confident look, it really is a masterpiece within the collect!” We see so many outdoor companies making ski jackets that are so monotone and plain. We wanted to say something different with this piece, that’s for sure, but we didn’t want to sacrifice the technical ski features that Obermeyer customers demand. So it has powder skirts and cuffs as well as a removable hood.

Serenity in Paint Brush

SerenityYou remember when you were young, and you were running out the door when your mom would shout, “don’t forget to wear a coat!” and you would turn around with this annoyed look and begrudgingly put on your jacket? We at Obermeyer never want you or your children to have that problem. So we made every colorway in the Serenity a fun bright combo of pastels and bright jewel tones that kids will love to wear. I guess, we wanted the little girl who wears the Serenity to associate the coat with happiness. Serenity, like all of our children’s clothes comes standard with our patented Igrow system, which is great if you need hand-me-downs. It’s also reassuring for parents to know that we build our kids garments out of sustainable fabrics made from recycled pop bottles, and of course, we still have that famous lifetime warranty.

Clone in Phosphorous

CloneSupporting youth skiing and riding is one of our most coveted missions here at Obermeyer. So we thought, why not make a junior boys jacket that has all the bells and whistles of something in our men’s line? The clone is the result of this kind of thinking. Waterproof zippers, powder skirt, critically seam sealed, removable hood: these are all features you would expect to find in our men’s boundary collection. This color is a company favorite.

Founded in 1947 in Aspen, Colorado Sport Obermeyer was born of necessity by Klaus Obermeyer. As an Aspen ski instructor, he became aware of the need to keep his ski school students warm and dry so they would enjoy the sport of skiing and become repeat customers. Klaus Obermeyer, as ski pioneer  learned environmental stewardship at a young age respecting the alpine environment and its majestic beauty. Today, Obermeyer continues to design and produce innovative and technically responsible authentic skiwear from the heart of the Rocky mountains.

To watch Klaus ski is to witness his true love of the sport. It all began in 1919, in Oberstaufen, Germany, the small Bavarian alpine village in which Klaus was born. There, his passion began at the early age of three. In 1947, Klaus arrived in Aspen, Colorado, where he followed his entrepreneurial spirit. Sensing that people would spend more time on the slopes if they had great looking ski clothes that kept them warm, dry, and comfortable. He set up shop, the original Sport Obermeyer, in the attic of his home. There, one of the first of countless innovations was born in the form of a down ski parka stitched together from his goose down comforter. Innovations continue to motivate Klaus and the company he started — his enthusiasm is contagious, his energy seemingly endless, and his optimism boundless.

Obermeyer uses the most technical fabrics and coatings currently available to manufacture its waterproof-breathable outerwear.
