David Jacobs founded the company in 1978 in Boulder, Colorado, initially operating as a mail-order business for racing sweaters. The brand gained recognition for its padded slalom pants, which led to the name Spyder. It became the official supplier of the US Ski Team in 1989. Historically, the brand introduced aerodynamic speed suits and moisture-wicking fabrics, establishing a standard for technical performance in competitive winter sports and alpine fashion history.
