Perhaps the most traditional piece of sporting attire ever created, the Polo shirt has long been a symbol of refined athleticism, worn by gentleman adventurers from the verdant polo grounds to the rugged peaks of the 19th century. As alpinists of the Golden Age of Mountaineering pursued first ascents across the world’s great ranges, they carried with them a spirit of exploration, elegance, and functional dress. Honoring this heritage, Alps & Meters’ Ascent Polo blends the pioneering ethos of classic mountaineering with the original innovation of early polo shirts. Designed with timeless taste and an ultra-fine knitted construction, this outdoor garment stands as an essential for the year-round sportsman, from alpine summits to lush valleys and all other fair weather climes the world over.
