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.

Sturdy, handsome, versatile.

When the sun is higher in the sky and the temperatures of winter moderate, alpinists moving up or downhill in the mountains have always appreciated the temperature regulating capabilities of a proper vest. With deep consideration for the variable weather conditions of winter, Alps & Meters has built a sturdy, handsome, and versatile alpine sportswear product for multi-season outdoor use. Designed with Forged Performance protection that includes a lightweight down body, removable oversized hood, interior 10k/10k waterproof membrane, and full grain water repellent leather panels, the Alpine Hooded Vest is ideal for spring ski adventures requiring a hike-to, traverse, or skin track above the snow line.

Forged Performance

Including a fully fashioned helmet compatible hood and removable powder skirt, the Patrol Parka blends the sturdiness of historic ski patrol outerwear with contemporary technology to produce a timeless expression of alpine sport.

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.

Overall really good.

I used the jacket this past weekend for skiing. A few comments:

1. The zipper is a bot tricky (gets stuck at the bottom)

2. The material of the jacket attracts a lot of lint and snow (if you fall). Wondering if the cotton material should be treated.

3. If you don’t open the vents, it does not breathe well and becomes moist inside
