THE STORY

Long has been the presence of knitwear within the sport of skiing. A timeless technology, knitwear has protected alpinists since the advent of skiing in Norway during the middle ages. Early mountain travelers, relying on long wooden skis for efficient winter mobility, found the combination of woolen fibers and the comfortable ergonomics of knitted yards to make for an ideal combination of external protection, internal warmth, and optimal range of motion.

This same appreciation for knitwear’s unique qualities were eventually also embraced by the world’s first Ski Patrol founded at Mount Mansfield, Vermont in 1938. Worn as dense mid-layers and evolving to include additional elements of utility such as easily accessible pockets and reinforced paneling, Alps & Meters embraces the knitwear narrative embedded in alpine sport to introduce the Patrol Knit Plus.

An authentic ski sweater designed to adhere to the classic principles of heavy gauge knitwear, the Patrol Knit Plus considers the performance needs of Mount Mansfield’s inaugural class of Patrollers while ensuring a Forged Performance upgrade of such genuine garments through the addition of a contemporary technologies aimed to aid those who, today continue, to uphold the legacy of the National Ski Patrol’s dedication to 80 years of winter safety and service.

Outstanding customer service/product

I really liked the styling of the patrol plus, but couldn't get a grasp of weather it should be worn as a sweater or under layer or a coat. I liked both colors and although I'm an XL, like a little extra room in the shoulders so ordered both XL in grey and XXL in red. The XL in grey fit if I was going to wear it just as a sweater with a light shirt underneath...and realized it would be too warm to wear very long inside. The XXL fit much better in the shoulders, and was a bit big thru the midsection, but could definitely feel comfortable wearing a sweater underneath and using it more as a coat. I went with the XXL in Charcoal grey. Very satisfied with my choice and the assistance and guidance received from Grant on the Alps & Meters Team for a very easy return process.

If I had input on anything to add, either a cinch strap on the back or elastic cord on inside of coat at waist to snug it up just a bit.
