What to know about Flylow
Flylow makes ski and snowboard outerwear from Denver, Colorado, founded in 2005 by skiers Greg Steen and Dan Abrams, who wanted shells tough enough for backcountry days. The range centers on burly bibs and hardshells, including the Baker Bib, the two-layer Gore-Tex Dante jacket, and women's pieces such as the Freya jacket and Foxy insulated bib, plus the lower-priced Boundary Line resort collection. The company remains independent and in 2024 launched Leftover Land, a resale site, alongside a bib buyback program.
