Patrol Parka
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.
