Fabulously functional
It’s perfect.
Since the advent of the National Ski Patrol, first conceived in Vermont in 1938, performance outerwear has been built to meet the needs of patrollers working in a high alpine environment. In keeping with the motto of “safety & service,” those designing for these patrol pioneers held deep consideration for the users warmth, range of movement, and life-saving equipment access including maps, elements of first aid, spare ski parts, and devices of communication. It is in this traditional spirit and with depth of crafted consideration that Alps & Meters has designed the Patrol Parka.
