News; Do you know about the history of men's spyder jackets?

Published: Monday 06 September, 2010


To explain Spyder's company history, we have to begin with the man who started it all. David Jacobs, Spyder's founder and CEO, has been the brand driver, product visionary, and cultural leader throughout our history. David was born in Montreal, Canada, and began skiing at age 13. At 21, he won the prestigious Quebec Kandahar, and from 1957 through 1961 was a member of the Canadian National Ski Team. In 1957 he captured the title of Canadian Downhill Ski Champion, and was the top-ranked member of the Canadian FIS Team the following season. As the first full-time head coach and program administrator for the Canadian National Ski Team from 1964-1966, David continued his contribution to the sport at the national level. Having this perspective of a world-class athlete, David understands that athletes depend on quality equipment to give a competitive edge.



In 1978, while David's sons were in the ski race circuit, he noted that there was only one brand of race sweaters available. He knew he could make a better product and sell it to the close-knit race community. This business, named David L Jacobs, Incorporated, began as a small mail order business in his kitchen "for racing, by racers."
