Ready for hardcore backcountry adventures, convenient for layering, and extremely versatile for around town and backcountry use, the Vanish Systems Jacket features the best of Spyder's technical performance features. The jacket's outer shell boasts fully taped seams to any prevent water or snow from penetrating and geometric expansion for an athletic fit. The jacket has a removable heavy weather hood, ventilation zippers, and an internal drawcord at the hem allowing you to release heat and moisture buildup as you exert. An internal powder skirt with logo jacquard gripper elastic with a snap back feature to hold the skirt away when not in use, offers ease of movement and additional protection in heavy snows. The jacket has a brushed micro fiber inner collar for insulating comfort and Velcro adjustable cuffs to seal out the elements. Convenience features include a movable custom chamois lens wipe on a carabineer with shock cord, and multiple internal and external pockets including an internal mesh goggle pocket, internal electronics pocket with cord loop, and a key holder clasp in the pocket. The jacket is detailed with custom Spyder logos, hardware, and zipper pulls.

Constructed with materials engineered to wick sweat away from the body, provide breathability and ventilation, and waterproof protection, the Vanish Systems Jacket offers years of high-performance protection. The outer shell is made of a 100 percent nylon dobby weave with XT.L 10,000 millimeter membrane, and Spylon water-repellent finish for superior waterproof protection and breathability. The "thin" XT.L technology results in a pliable fabric that is lightweight yet durable. The XT.L benefits include stretch recovery, which maintains the integrity of the fabric after seasons of hard-core use. The durable Spylon water-repellent finish is applied to the fabric exterior to prevent the garment from absorbing surface moisture and has a water repellency of 80 percent after 20 washings. It also guards against water and oil-based stains. On the inner layer, 100 percent polyester microfiber weave with Spylon water repellent finish opposes the elements when worn as a stand-alone, while the 80 gram Thinsulate Insulation offers optimum warmth. Thinsulate is constructed of unique micro fibers, about 10 times smaller than in other synthetics. These fibers efficiently trap insulating air, reflect radiant body heat, and deliver warmth two times greater than down and other polyester insulations when equal thicknesses are compared.

Canadian Ski Champion, David Jacobs, is Spyder's founder and current chairman, and has been the brand driver, product visionary, and cultural leader throughout Spyder's history. Born in Montreal, Canada, Jacobs began skiing at age 13, won his first major award at 21, from 1957 through 1961 was a member of the Canadian National Ski Team. In 1957 he captured the title of Canadian Downhill Ski Champion, and was the top-ranked member of the Canadian FIS Team the following season. As the first full-time head coach and program administrator for the Canadian National Ski Team from 1964-1966, Jacobs continued his contribution to the sport at the national level. Having this perspective of a world-class athlete, Jacobs understands that athletes depend on quality equipment to give a competitive edge.

In 1978 Spyder, then named David L Jacobs, Incorporated, began as a small mail order business in his kitchen of race sweaters "for racing, by racers." After the successful introduction of race sweaters, Jacobs added ski pants to the catalog offering. Within two years the business outgrew Jacob's kitchen and was renamed Spyder. Spyder became an official supplier to the U.S. Ski Team in 1989, a relationship Spyder continues to support with great pride. In 2002, Spyder became a sponsor of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team, bringing Jacob's involvement with the first Canadian National Team full circle. The dominant Canadian Freestyle Ski Team followed suit in 2003. In 2004, Spyder penned an agreement with the talented Austrian Alpine Ski Team, viewed as a major sponsorship coup in the race world. Spyder product has been showcased on Olympic podiums multiple times. At the Games in Turin, the Austrian and U.S. Alpine teams collectively captured 16 medals, plus Canadian Jennifer Heil grabbed a gold in moguls. In 2002, Bode Miller took home two silver medals from Salt Lake City. In the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, Tommy Moe, and Diann Roffe-Steinrotter each won gold; Tommy and Picabo also won silver in those Games. Diann and Hilary Lindh scored silver in Albertville in 1992.

With an expanded product offering and loyal consumer following, Spyder's growth has exploded, and the company is now the largest ski-specialty brand in the world. In 2004, Apax Partners, a global private equity group, acquired Spyder. The partnership allows Spyder to continue to expand its product line and build on the brand's momentum. Jacobs continues to direct the company as chairman of the board. Jake, his eldest son who penned the company's trademark spider webs, took the reigns as CEO and president in 2007 and is leading Spyder to into the future.
