Authentic Brands Group has granted Outdoor Collective the license for Spyder manufacturing, covering ski and snow apparel as well as accessories.
Under the agreement, Outdoor Collective will be responsible for the merchandising, design, operations, sales, service, marketing, sourcing, and production for the Spyder brand.
This strategic move marks an expansion for Outdoor Collective, allowing it to broaden its market reach and enhance production capabilities. To support this growth, Outdoor Collective has assumed offices and operations worldwide, including Spyder’s headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.
The transfer of the manufacturing license takes effect immediately, with Fall 2025 production continuing without disruption.
“We are excited about this transition and are confident that Outdoor Collective is the right group to continue the legacy of quality and innovation that Spyder is known for,” said Brady Collings, president of Outdoor Collective On-Mountain.
“This move allows us to establish a multi brand platform dedicated to performance and innovation utilizing our merchandising and design resources, while also ensuring that production remains in very capable hands.”
Outdoor Collective will continue to develop Spyder products, with a focus on On-Mountain, Freeski, Venom, full après ski, and year-round lifestyle categories. Additionally, OC will oversee the development of Billabong Outerwear, set to launch in Fall 2025 under a dedicated team.
David Brooks, EVP, action and outdoor sports, lifestyle at Authentic, added, “Spyder is one of the most respected performance brands in the world, built on decades of excellence and technical innovation. Outdoor Collective has the expertise and vision to elevate Spyder to new heights while staying true to its heritage of delivering top-tier gear for winter athletes and enthusiasts.”
