" Made with materials engineered to wick sweat away from the body, provide breathability and ventilation, and waterproof protection, the Dare Pants offer years of high-performance protection. Constructed of polyester dobby weave with Dermizax 20,000 millimeter membrane "smart" fabric, the pants will respond to the microclimate temperature created between the body and clothing, adjusting to the wearer's exertion level. When the interior climate heats up, the fabric will expand to release moisture vapor. When the interior temperature is cool, the fabric will contract, protecting the wearer from the outside cold. Dermizax also features a high level of stretch recovery, resisting membrane damage even after constant, vigorous use and frequent laundering. The pants also boast a Spylon+ water repellent finish and an abrasion resistant polyester oxford weave. The Spylon+ finish is applied to the fabric exterior to prevent the garment from absorbing surface moisture. Spylon+ is a top-rated performer retaining 80 percent effectiveness after 50 washings. It also guards against water and oil-based stains. The 40 gram Thinsulate Insulation is constructed of unique micro fibers, about ten times smaller than in other synthetics. These fibers efficiently trap insulating air, reflect radiant body heat, and deliver warmth two times greater than down and other polyester insulations when equal thicknesses are compared.

Canadian Ski Champion, David Jacobs, is Spyder's founder and current chairman, and has been the brand driver, product visionary, and cultural leader throughout Spyder's history. Born in Montreal, Canada, Jacobs began skiing at age 13, won his first major award at 21, 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, Jacobs continued his contribution to the sport at the national level. Having this perspective of a world-class athlete, Jacobs understands that athletes depend on quality equipment to give a competitive edge. In 1978 Spyder, then named David L Jacobs, Incorporated, began as a small mail order business in his kitchen of race sweaters "for racing, by racers. " After the successful introduction of race sweaters, Jacobs added ski pants to the catalog offering. Within two years the business outgrew Jacob's kitchen and was renamed Spyder. Spyder became an official supplier to the U. S. Ski Team in 1989, a relationship Spyder continues to support with great pride. In 2002, Spyder became a sponsor of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team, bringing Jacob's involvement with the first Canadian National Team full circle. The dominant Canadian Freestyle Ski Team followed suit in 2003. In 2004, Spyder penned an agreement with the talented Austrian Alpine Ski Team, viewed as a major sponsorship coup in the race world. Spyder product has been showcased on Olympic podiums multiple times. At the Games in Turin, the Austrian and U. S. Alpine teams collectively captured 16 medals, plus Canadian Jennifer Heil grabbed a gold in moguls. In 2002, Bode Miller took home two silver medals from Salt Lake City. In the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, Tommy Moe, and Diann Roffe-Steinrotter each won gold; Tommy and Picabo also won silver in those Games. Diann and Hilary Lindh scored silver in Albertville in 1992. With an expanded product offering and loyal consumer following, Spyder's growth has exploded, and the company is now the largest ski-specialty brand in the world. In 2004, Apax Partners, a global private equity group, acquired Spyder. The partnership allows Spyder to continue to expand its product line and build on the brand's momentum. Jacobs continues to direct the company as chairman of the board. Jake, his eldest son who penned the company's trademark spider webs, took the reigns as CEO and president in 2007 and is leading Spyder to into the future.
