Features & Benefits

Warm & Protective

70% super-fine merino, 30% cashmere yarns blended for softness, form-fitting comfort and lasting durability.

High collar and fitted cuffs for additional comfort.

DESIGNED BY TRADITION

The classic V graphic recalls the Fifth Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, where the inaugural female champions were crowned in downhill and slalom.

The Story

Initially a form of recreation reserved for men, ski racing racing’s romance and elegance came into clear view in 1931 during the first unofficial FIS World Alpine Championships and then again in 1948 during the V Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland. 1931 marked Esme MacKinnon’s British victories in the downhill and slalom, the first for any woman and a resounding transformation of a sport finally graced and refined by female precision, style, and aplomb. Seventeen years later, inspired by MacKinnon, women compete in their first downhill and slalom events of the ’48 Winter Olympics and names such as Hedy Schlunegger of Switzerland and Gretchen Fraser of the United States would be awarded the first gold medals in the Downhill and Slalom, events respectively.

Comfortable and protective, with elements of properly knitted fiber construction and a rich yarn complexion, Alps & Meters’ Ski Race Knit conveys a story of alpine sports’ first racing personalities, their passion for skiing, and their highly fashionable taste on and off the mountain.

Designed by Tradition

Combining softly blend yarns, total comfort, and traditional personality, this alpine sportswear garment commands a first class expression representing the pure romance of ski racing from both the past and present.

Forged Performance

Form fitting and offering high visibility and graphic recognition for spectators viewing form afar, the Ski Race Knit is a staple of the winter sportswomen’s wardrobe

My New Favorite Sweater

Okay - I’ll wear this as a base layer or mid-layer under my ski jackets and it’s my new favorite! It’s so soft and feminine - I’m just upset I didn’t order it before this year’s ski season. Love!!! Fits perfect and true to size.

Long awaited dream come true!

I had wanted this sweater for a long time. While I think it's a little short on me, I think that's more my body's fault than the sweater. I wore it for spring skiing just yesterday and it was comfortable before, during, and after. It's not SUPER soft (but plenty soft) and that gives me confidence the sweater will last. The color and styling are fantastic--so much so that my college-aged daughter commented on how nice it was!
