Orage has never fit neatly into a box. Since 1989, they have been mixing things up in the world of outerwear, blurring the line between performance and style, between the mountain and everything beyond it. Born in Canada and raised by the freeski culture that defined an era, Orage has always stood for individuality, creativity, and doing things your own way.
Orage
It Was Always More Than Skiing.

orage.ocmBack in the early days, freeskiing was still taking shape. It was raw, loud, and different. That was Orage’s world. They were there with riders who didn’t care about the rules, who believed style mattered as much as skill. That energy still drives everything they do today.
Orage makes outerwear that performs when it counts, but never forgets that skiing is also about self-expression. Because for them, it was never just about the turns. It was about the parking lot hangs, the road trips, the late nights waxing skis in someone’s garage. It was about culture. And it still is.

Did you know that Orage…
… was founded in 1989 in Quebec, Canada, by a group of friends who wanted outerwear that performed in the mountains and looked good in the streets?
…means thunderstorm in French?
…is based in Montreal, where mountain spirit meets urban creativity and every design idea begins?
…invented the world’s first breathable puffer, the award-winning BREATHR Down technology that vents heat when you move and traps warmth when you stop?
…uses recycled fabrics and insulation in more than 75% of their outerwear?
…ships 80% of their products without plastic thanks to The Loop, a reusable compression band that replaces traditional packaging?
…has two physical stores in Montreal and Chamonix, where the community connects with the brand at the heart of mountain culture
…designs products to perform season after season, using reinforced stitching, ripstop fabrics, and rugged hardware that stand up to years of mountain use?
Designed by Mountains, Defined by You
Orage builds their gear to perform, but it has to have character too. Function comes first, but design is what makes it yours. When a jacket feels right the moment you throw it on, that is when they know they got it right.
Whether you are stacking laps at the resort, skinning into the backcountry, or walking through town after a storm, your outerwear should move with you, not against you. Orage design is clean and confident, rooted in technical precision but always with character. It is the small details that matter: how a hood sits over your helmet, how a cuff fits your glove, how a pocket falls exactly where you want it. That is what good design feels like.
MTN-X: Built to Move
The MTN-X Collection represents what Orage does best: technical design that adapts to how you ski. Stretch Dermizax™ 3 ply shells keep you dry and moving freely, while seam-sealed construction and articulated fits let the gear flex naturally with your body. Pieces like the Gibson and Cliff 3L Ski Bibs or the Spurr and Panorama 3L Shell Ski Jackets are built for riders who want the full mix of comfort, durability, and attitude.
MTN-X is not about standing still. It is built for the skin track, the slackcountry, and the walk to the car with your boots half done. It is about versatility without compromise.
Performance with Purpose
Innovation means something different at Orage. It is not about chasing trends or adding flashy features. It is about building gear that lasts longer, works harder, and respects where it comes from.
Over 75 percent of Orage’s FW25 collection uses recycled fabrics and insulation. Eighty percent of their pieces are shipped without polybags, replaced by The Loop, a reusable compression band that cuts down on plastic waste. Every material they use features C0 DWR treatments that are PFC free and bluesign® approved.
Orage wants their gear to stay in use for years, not seasons. Because real sustainability starts with quality that does not quit.
Style That Sticks
What makes Orage different is not just how they build, but how they see the culture around skiing. Freeskiing gave birth to more than tricks. It gave birth to a mindset. A confidence to move differently, dress differently, and live the mountain life with a creative edge.
That attitude shows up in their colour stories, in the way they combine function with form, and in the balance between mountain utility and street style. Orage was born in the mountains, but they have always designed for the spaces in between.
The Orage Way
Orage is not just for one type of skier. It is for anyone who finds freedom in movement. For those who chase good snow but also good moments. For those who spend as much time building kickers as they do hitting them.
Orage is part of a community that lives outside the lines. A crew of originals who value design as much as performance, who want their outerwear to keep up without blending in.
From the first snowfalls to the late spring slush, from storm days to après nights, Orage is there for every version of mountain life. Built to perform, designed to express, and inspired by the culture that made us who we are.
Because for Orage, and for everyone who rides with them, it was always more than skiing.
