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.

Klaus Obermeyer thought about the impact we have on the planet before he even started our company. “We must step lightly” is a mantra that all Obermeyer employee’s live by. Repreve helps us pass that mantra to other earth-conscious mountain lovers. Repreve is a performance-minded textile created from recycled plastic. So while plastic is plastic, creating our apparel from waste is a start to ending our plastic waste crisis. And if it adds to your enjoyment of these wild mountains, then it’s a win win.

Obermeyer is one of the first US Ski brands to have ever partnered with Schoeller, and that proud partnership continues today. Schoeller, a Swiss-based, Bluesign certified textile manufacturer, who create high-performance, high-quality materials that we’ve relied on for decades. Schoeller’s 4-way stretch performance made it possible for us to create our Katze Suit; a one-piece ski suit that can keep up with a full day on the mountain. That means moving with you, and keeping you dry, so a full day means a full day.
Merino Wool allows us to offer our sweater program and maintain our commitment to the planet. Our sustainably-sourced Merino Wool will provide the cozy feeling that pairs well with the fire inside the ski lodge, while also performing as an excellent, moisture-wicking layering option for those days that call for that classic extra layer.
