EIDER

The Eider Brand Origins

Tailoring and skiing may not seem to have much in common at first glance but Eider's founder Georges Ducruet was a tailor who loved to ski. Spending time on the cold slopes got Georges to thinking about how much better things would be if he had a warm waterproof jacket. He decides to turn his tailoring skills to solving this very problem. Thus, in 1962 in Annecy in the French Alps, the Eider brand was born. Ducruet named his brand after a kind of duck known for its warm feathers. At the same time as man is walking on the moon, Eider is a huge success. The brand has moved on to industrialised production and it is being used in sporting events all over the world. However, all the time later, Eider prototypes are still made in Ducruet's hometown.

The Best Eider Products

Eider Ski Clothing

Given the founder's love of skiing it should come as no surprise that this is one area in which Eider excels. To this end, Eider ski jackets and pants are all waterproof, light, warm and breathable. Almost all of their jackets are built with DEFENDER technology which provides an extremely high degree of both waterproofing and breathability. The fabric is also flexible and capable of stretching to ensure that it does not impede your movement in any way.

Women's Hiking Jackets

These Eider jackets are made from a blend of 40% virgin wool and 60% synthetic fibres. This combination makes a lightweight jacket with thermal properties that can also stretch to accommodate you as you move. Thanks to the breathable nature of the material, it stays cool in hotter weather making it suitable for wear all year round.
