Premium Outdoor Gear for Skiing & Mountain Adventures
Founded in 2005 by Colorado natives Greg Steen and Dan Abrams, Flylow Gear emerged from a need for durable, functional ski apparel that bridges the gap between backcountry performance and resort aesthetics. Our initial product line, featuring the rugged Cactus Pant and Black Coat, quickly gained a loyal following among skiers who valued quality and practicality. Over the years, we've expanded our offerings to include four-season mountain apparel, outerwear, and accessories while maintaining our original commitment to thoughtful design and user-driven innovation. Our team collaborates with athletes, guides, and industry experts to develop gear tested in real-world conditions, from skintracks to dirt trails.Sustainability remains central to our operations, with initiatives focused on recycled materials, reduced waste, and ethical manufacturing practices. Through programs like The Good Lab, we partner with nonprofits to create custom products that directly support outdoor communities and environmental preservation. Headquartered in Denver with a distributed team across mountain regions, we continue to prioritize grassroots growth and a lifestyle-driven approach to outdoor recreation.

Gore-Tex Ski Jackets
Our three-layer GORE-TEX jackets combine stormproof protection with breathable performance for extreme mountain conditions. Designed with input from professional skiers, these jackets feature reinforced seams, adjustable hoods, and strategic venting. Ideal for backcountry expeditions and resort skiing where weather resistance meets mobility needs.
Insulated Bib Pants
Engineered for cold-weather performance, these bibs integrate waterproof shells with synthetic insulation layers. Features include reinforced kick zones, adjustable suspenders, and pass-through pockets for layering flexibility. Tested by guides and patrollers in subzero environments to maintain warmth without restricting movement during extended use.
Technical Flannels
Blending traditional aesthetics with modern fabric technology, these shirts wick moisture while maintaining a classic lumberjack appearance. Treated with antimicrobial finishes to reduce odor during multi-day adventures. Designed for transitional weather between ski seasons and spring mountain activities.
Youth Outerwear
Scaled-down versions of adult designs maintain identical durability standards while accommodating growing bodies. Features include adjustable cuffs, reinforced knees, and helmet-compatible hoods. Constructed using the same waterproof membranes and recycled materials as professional-grade adult apparel.
Community Partnerships
The Good Lab program provides custom product development services for outdoor-focused nonprofits. We handle manufacturing and distribution logistics while partners retain 100% of proceeds. Collaborations focus on organizations promoting trail maintenance, avalanche education, and adaptive sports programs.

Fantastic products backed up by great customer service. Purchased their Malone jacket from Confluence Kayak. Stopped by the FlyLow office for a warranty repair today. Their staff wasnt satisfied with the quick fix so they let me pick from 6 different colors of similar jackets as a replacement. Ill be a loyal customer going forward and stoked to use this new Quantum jacket. I use their lobster gloves as well. Top notch and 1/3 the price of Hestra

Great customer service. Foxy bibs are "foxy" but get the siren bibs if you live in the soggy PNW and need water protection equivalent to 3 layer gore-tex
