As the first flakes start to fall from the sky and the countdown to ski season begins, getting your kit dialled should be on the top of the list. Not just gear that keeps you warm and dry, but the sort that helps you move better, ski harder and look good while doing it. That’s where Spyder comes in – a brand that’s been combining style, precision and performance since before most of us could walk in ski boots.

Back in 1978, former world-class racer David Jacobs decided to build ski gear that could keep up with the best. What started as a garage project quickly became one of the most recognised names on the mountain. For decades, Spyder has been worn by Olympic champions and weekend warriors alike, blending speed, style and innovation in a way that feels distinctly effortless.

Today, the World Cup Collection brings all that race-bred heritage to the rest of us. Built around Spyder’s EXO-Technology, it offers complete waterproofing, windproofing and four-way stretch – everything you need to stay protected and move freely in the wildest conditions. Every seam, zip and panel is designed with performance in mind, so whether you’re chasing first tracks or cruising back for lunch, you’ll stay warm, dry and ready for more.

Few people embody the brand’s spirit better than AJ Ginnis. Having carved his way through the US ski team before proudly representing his native Greece, he’s known for doing things differently – a perfect match for a company built on breaking boundaries. Below, you’ll find a few of his go-to pieces from the range.

Spyder

Titan ski jacket

This is the flagship – bold, dependable and built to take a beating. It combines four-way stretch fabric with targeted PrimaLoft insulation for warmth without bulk, while waterproof zips and underarm vents regulate temperature during high-energy runs. The fit is athletic, the finish sleek, and the performance unflinching – a jacket that works as hard as you do.

Dare ski pant

Tough, weatherproof and surprisingly supple, the Dare pant gives complete mobility thanks to articulated knees and stretch shell fabric. The adjustable waist and reinforced scuff guards guarantee all-day comfort and multi-season durability, while inner-thigh vents stop things getting too steamy. A mountain essential for anyone who skis with intent.

Garmisch sweater

A timeless piece reimagined for modern mountain life. This merino-blend knit is warm, breathable and soft enough to wear all day, whether layered under a shell or solo for après. It’s retro-inspired yet thoroughly contemporary – the perfect link between heritage and performance.
