Leader - It’s pretty hard to fix what isn't broken, and the Leader remains a fan favorite year in and year out. We did manage to perfect one of our best-sellers with Spyder’s proprietary 360° stretch EXO Shield technology and top tier 30k/20k laminate, made with recycled polyester. We've done this while keeping all the signature Spyder features people have come to know and love intact, including 100g of PrimaLoft® Silver Eco Insulation, YKK® AquaGuard® Zippers, and our Silver Chassis interior with targeted interior stretch panels. With some minor technological upgrades, brand new colorways, but a fundamental design that remains unchanged, this jacket continues to lead the pack.
Dare - Sometimes you search for simplicity, and sometimes you search for versatility. Ease and function are hard to come by in one package. At least it was until we made the Dare Pant. Updated this year to feature Spyder’s new EXO Shield fabric with 4-way stretch, recycled polyester, and 30k/20k waterproof breathability, we dared to take this fan favorite to new heights. With increased mobility, the Dare Pant keeps you toasty warm, too, thanks to 40g of PrimaLoft® Silver Eco insulation. Whether you prefer to rock your snow pants with or without suspenders is up to you, as the Dare’s suspenders easily detach. Coming in seven colorways, the Dare delivers simplistic performance in a color that will match your favorite Spyder jacket. Do it all with ease, no matter the conditions, with the Dare Pant.
Speed Fleece
The Speed Half Zip’s design was influenced by ski apparel rocked by the people who helped the sport to explode in places like Aspen and Chamonix in the late '70s and '80s, with a modern Spyder update. Stretch polyester allows a full range of movement in this classic lightweight mid-layer fleece that features the modern Spyder script across the left forearm. In colour combos that pop and match the colorways of our outerwear in our Alpine line, the Speed fleece transitions from cruising the slopes to après drinks as seamlessly as you do.
The Leader jacket and Dare pant are from our SILVER line - the best-selling line and most eco-friendly.

What was your height and weight? What size were you wearing? Thanks

I'm a huge fan of Spyder products but lately I'm very disappointed with Spyder because their product quality looks and feels cheaper now. Products from 2022 and later feel cheaper than the previous years. The company cuts down its cost and quality. If these two young think what they're holding are good, perhaps they should feel the 2020 Spyder jacket and pants to see a difference.

@@iceiejest103 I've not noticed that but sounds like you're more of an expert than me. That would be a real shame
