About Marmot
Designed by climbers for climbers
The success story of Marmot began in the 70s in a dorm room of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Two climbing fanatic students founded the Marmot Club as they were in Alaska’s Juneau Icefield on a glaciology project. The two climbers were tinkering for their project on down jackets, sweatshirts and hoodies, parkas and various down sleeping bags in their dorm room. A pioneering result was the Marmot Pika, now known as CWM, one of the warmest sleeping bags at the time. The Marmot Climbing Club became soon the well-known and successful American outdoor brand Marmot. Eventually in 2002, the creation of Marmot Mountain Europe GmbH based in Schwaig near Nurnberg marked a further milestone in the company’s history.
