“Design That Moves” Philosophy
The brand’s name, “Descente” (meaning “downhill skiing” in French), reflects its rich heritage in winter sports. The signature “Spirit Mark” logo, an arrow symbolizing the fundamental skiing techniques, embodies DESCENTE’s unwavering commitment to its roots and its relentless pursuit of excellence. This philosophy, captured by the mantra “Design That Moves,” translates into every DESCENTE product, ensuring athletes can move freely and reach their full potential.
Technology and Innovation at the Core
DESCENTE is a frontrunner in sportswear innovation, continuously developing cutting-edge technologies to enhance athletic performance. Examples include Motion 3D, a fabric patterning system that mimics the body’s natural movements, and Infinite Movement, a combination of technologies that delivers exceptional comfort, mobility, and a full range of motion.

A Legacy of Championing Athletes
Throughout its nearly nine-decade history, DESCENTE has played a pivotal role in the sporting world. From the legendary “Golden Suit” that propelled Eric Heiden to five gold medals at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics to outfitting elite teams like the Swiss National Alpine Ski Team and the Canadian National Speed Skating Team at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, DESCENTE’s commitment to athlete success is undeniable.
