Built for the Uphill. Ready for the Drop.
When your best days start before sunrise and end by headlamp, you need backcountry ski gear that performs as hard as you do. The Marmot Backcountry Ski Collection is made for skiers and riders who earn every turn—a complete system of lightweight ski jackets, backcountry ski bibs, and layers built for the perfect balance between uphill efficiency and downhill control.
Whether you’re skinning up a ridge, traversing a powder field, or chasing untouched lines after a storm, this gear provides:
- Reliable protection from wind and snow
- Breathability for high-output touring
- Unrestricted mobility for all-day movement
Lightweight Layers. Serious Protection.
The Backcountry Ski lineup brings together Marmot’s most advanced waterproofing, insulation, and layering innovations. Each shell uses 3-layer NanoPro™ Bio coating technology, a breathable, waterproof system engineered for protection that won’t weigh you down.
Key performance features include:
- NanoPro™ Bio coating for sustainable, waterproof protection
- Fully taped seams for reliable defense against moisture
- Lightweight, packable construction that maximizes freedom of movement
These backcountry ski jackets and bibs are built for versatility in changing alpine weather. To handle variable temperatures, Marmot pairs multiple insulation technologies:
- PrimaLoft® Silver Active synthetic insulation for breathable warmth during high-output climbs
- Down Defender 700-fill down for ultralight, compressible heat in frigid conditions
- Packable down jacket options that stow easily in your pack for summit stops or transitions
- GORE-TEX® models for proven waterproofing trusted by guides and pros alike
From midlayers like the Novus LT Hoody to outer shells such as the Solitude UL Bio, every piece is designed to move, breathe, and adapt as you climb, transition, and descend.
Designed for the Backcountry Flow
Every piece in the Backcountry Ski Collection is tuned for uphill efficiency and downhill protection. Built-in performance details include:
- Dual-side vents for airflow and heat release
- Internal gaiters, scuff guards, and reinforced cuffs to keep snow and sharp edges out
- Beacon-compatible pockets and RECCO® reflectors for backcountry safety and visibility
Select shells add thoughtful design touches for smoother transitions like pack-accessible pockets and removable powder skirts for seamless gear management.
From the ultralight Solitude UL Bio shell to insulated backcountry ski jacket designs, each piece minimizes bulk and maximizes performance, letting you focus on the next turn, not your gear.
