Design Philosophy Obermeyer recognizes that today's youth market has high expectations. They know that if you're going to spend a little more, you expect superior features that you won't find in regular department store jackets. For 2008, Obermeyer has brought in new waterproof/breathable performance fabrics (3,000 to 20,000mm) in unique textures. Every piece has critical seams that are taped, they have a CZV (Control Zone Ventilation) system and they feature dual-snap powder skirts. All Junior pants have the EWS (extended Wear System). Obermeyer is including a "smart" interior package in a number of junior garments making their things iPod and cell phone-ready. Obermeyer continues to blend trends with performance and is using textured fabrics, rivets and graphics in their Alpine collections and is focussing on high-octane colors, fast lines and is race-ready with their Junior Boys' Mach 1 and Junior Girls' Ridgeline lines. The Obermeyer guiding principles guide their design and make their products superior in quality and style. KFO Biography Born in Oberstaufen, Germany in 1919, Klaus started skiing at the age of 3 on a pair of skis he fashioned from a wooden citrus crate. In 1945, he opened a sports store with profits from the book, but decided a year later to move to the US, feeling uncomfortable in post war Germany. Klaus moved to Sun Valley, where he spent a winter selling Bavarian neckties and shoe strings out of the back of long time friend and film producer Warren Miller's Buick. The next winter, he moved to Aspen, Colorado and started teaching skiing. His students didn't have warm clothing, their boots didn't fit and nothing worked. Klaus found that he was losing students because they were too cold or their feet hurt. He had to do something to make them more comfortable, because the $10 a day he received for lessons was only paid when his students stayed in class. That "something" resulted in the creation of almost a dozen ski industry firsts over the span of five decades. The first down parka, now ubiquitous, was stitched together by Klaus Obermeyer from his very own goosedown comforter.The quilted parka was virtually invented by Klaus Obermeyer, made with shavings gathered from the floor of a textile factory in Munich. Klaus was the first to develop and exclusively import a dual construction ski boot - soft and warm on the inside; strong, durable and rigid on the outside. Soon thereafter he imported the first turtleneck shirts in the United States. His hugely popular first nylon windshirt was bright and patriotic. Seeing his students suffer from the harmful effects of high altitude skiing in the rockies Klaus helped develop the first high altitude sunscreen lotion. Klaus Obermeyer was also the first manufacturer to offer a complete collection of products designed with microfiber outer materials. Klaus had no intention of his effect upon revolutionizing skiwear; he simply wanted to allow people to have more fun on sk
