In a world that constantly buzzes and distracts us, there exists a yearning to escape. We head into the mountains in search of that feeling—freedom and adventure, fun and joy. The Obermeyer Off Grid collection is born from this desire to strive to cobble together moments that make an impact. Off Grid is an ode to those who seek to escape the chaos, immerse themselves in exploration, and express themselves in nature.
To us, Off Grid is a journey where the destination is not a place on the map but a state of mind. A place where the pulse of life slows down to a near standstill, and everything that’s flooding your senses becomes a boon. Off Grid is the place where memories are made.
Off Grid is a testament to the art of exploration, and to that feeling of being overwhelmed by the unadulterated beauty of what surrounds you. It’s about those moments we disconnect to reconnect.
Welcome, to Off Grid.
By Obermeyer.
Day One Designed with the explorer in mind.
From the beginning of Off Grid project, Obermeyer set out to design a freeride line of outerwear for fearless big-mountain skiers and pow-chasing riders. Off Grid is tailored to chargers who thrive inbounds spinning hot laps or in the backcountry on the skintrack. Long days. Big mountains. Unforgettable moments.
We worked directly with Obermeyer team pro Colter Hinchliffe to focus this collection on the needs of the adventurer. You can see Colter wearing Off Grid in "Beyond the Fantasy," a new film by Teton Gravity Research.

Introdcuing Blue Thread™
Our one planet’s oceans are overrun with waste. As Obermeyer continues to evolve its decades-long commitment to the planet, we turn our material science focus to how we could harness this in the making of new best-in-class materials.
Introducing Blue Thread™! Blue Thread™ is an eco-friendly nylon yarn produced using discarded material from the fishing industry, like fishing nets and oyster rope. This provides up to a 49% reduction in carbon footprint compared to virgin nylon products.
The Off Grid Systems
Introducing the Steibis 3L shell system—built for top tier, versatile performance, on or off grid. This feature-packed series is 30k/30k waterproof and breathability rated and made of recycled ocean waste, thanks to Obermeyer's new Blue Thread™ performance material.
