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.

Designed by Tradition

Early protective products of the 30s, 40s, and 50s were comprised of wool, leather, gabardine, or waxed cotton and adopted a military-influenced sense of utility. In keeping with the motto of “safety & service,” those designing for patrol pioneers held deep consideration for the user's warmth, range of movement, and ability to access life-saving equipment.

Characteristic craft and excellence.

Am very happy with the craftsmanship and practicality of the Parka. It does well in hard weather, driving rain and snow, and it elegant enough to draw curiously and questions in a nice restaurant. It’s a great weight- just warm enough without smothering me. I’m really impressed.

Best Alpine Brand Hands Down

This is my fourth purchase from Alps and Meters and possibly my favorite yet. Every piece of clothing I've purchased from them is a perfect combination of functional design with unmatched aesthetics. If you're looking for a splurge-worthy outerwear brand this is THE choice.
