The brand is known within the outdoor sports sector for its focus on lightweight and minimalist clothing intended for activities such as mountaineering, trail running, and ski mountaineering.

History

OSSO Outdoor SL was founded in 2012 by brothers Miguel and Rafael Peinado. According to company sources, the project was initiated following a round-the-world trip undertaken by Miguel Peinado, which influenced the brand’s orientation toward adventure and mountain sports.[1]

The company operates from Jaca, a town located near the central Pyrenees, and follows a direct-to-consumer business model, selling its products without intermediaries.[2]

Products and design approach

OS2O develops technical garments characterized by reduced weight and simplified construction, aligning with a “Fast and light” approach for modern mountain sports. Its product range includes apparel for alpine mountaineering, trail running, and skimo.[3]

Awards and recognition

In 2023, OS2O received an ISPO Award for the Oswald Thermore Ecodown Jacket.[4] The ISPO Awards are presented at ISPO Munich, one of the largest international trade fairs for the sporting goods and outdoor industry.

The jacket was developed by designer Oswaldo Rivera, a key contributor to the brand’s design direction, who died in a mountain accident several months before the award was announced.[5] The garment was noted for its lightweight construction and use of synthetic insulation materials.

Collaboration with the Spanish national ski mountaineering team

OS2O maintains a collaboration agreement with the Spanish Federation of Mountain and Climbing Sports (FEDME), serving as an official sponsor of the Spanish national ski mountaineering team.[6]

As part of this collaboration, the company has contributed to the development of competition apparel for athletes preparing for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina d'Ampezzo.[7]
