How to Festival Like a Pro at Rendezvous Music Festival

You can smell it in the air—the alpine promise of spring. Snow still blankets the Tetons, but the days are stretching longer, the sun is burning a little brighter, and something electric is pulsing through Jackson Hole.

It’s not just the lift lines thinning out or the après patios coming back to life—it’s Rendezvous Music Festival season.

And if you’re one of the lucky ones heading to Jackson Hole to see The Avett Brothers take the outdoor stage in Teton Village (for free, no less), let’s have a little heart-to-heart about something only locals and seasoned spring adventurers truly understand: spring in Wyoming does what it wants.

One minute, it’s sunscreen and tank tops. The next, you’re dodging snowflakes and pondering when winter will quell. This ain't Coachella in the desert. It's a high-alpine throwdown at 6,311 feet—where your vibe depends entirely on your gear.

Let’s talk about how to come prepared—and why it starts with Mammut GORE-TEX gear and ends with a VIP pass in your pocket.

Why Your Festival Fit Starts with GORE-TEX Products

Weather at Rendezvous is unpredictable—but your comfort doesn’t have to be. Mammut’s GORE-TEX collection offers sleek, breathable, stormproof solutions that’ll keep you dancing from the first chord to the last encore.

1. Mammut Crater Light HS Hooded Jacket

This 3-layer GORE-TEX jacket is as tough as it is light. Built for mountain missions but tailored enough for the festival crowd, it keeps wind and snow at bay while letting you breathe easy under those LED stage lights.

2. Mammut Treeline HS Hooded Jacket

For those wanting a little more structure and warmth, this 2-layer option checks all the boxes: waterproof, windproof, eco-friendly (shoutout to PFC-free DWR), and crafted from recycled materials. Bonus: it looks good on everyone.

3. Mammut Convey Tour HS Hooded Jacket

Ultra-lightweight, compressible, and ideal for those spring storm pop-ups. Toss it in your festival pack and pull it out when the clouds roll in—instant dryness without cramping your style.

The VIP Experience: Worth It? 100%.

Sure, general admission is free—but let’s be honest. When the sun sets behind the Tetons, watching people waltz into a private heated lounge with catered food and a complimentary bar (plus a free, Rendezvous-branded YETI mug)? That GA wristband might start to feel a little... cold.
