The classic Ski Race Sweater has long identified an individual as a member of the racing class; those fast, adventurous souls with a spirit drawn to the mountains. As sharp in appearance as the edges on which they carved their turns, ski racers' form fitting clothes offered low drag, maximum comfort, and the opportunity for stylish, on-mountain self expression. Alps & Meters’ Ski Race Knit is fitted and protective, with elements of appropriate padding and ergonomic engineering.

THE STORY

Ski racing is a sport of elegance and precision and thus, it is no surprise that those elements have also been deeply embedded in the design of racing equipment since the downhill evolution took hold of skiing in the mid-20th century.

As sharp in appearance as the edges on which they carved their turns, ski racers’ form fitting clothes offered low drag, maximum comfort, and the opportunity for a means of stylish, on-mountain self-expression. In the center of this sea of equipment was the Ski Race Sweater which identified an individual as a member of the racing class; those fast, adventurous souls with a spirit drawn to the mountains for the freedom offered by winter sporting traditions.

Fitted and protective, with elements of appropriate padding and ergonomic engineering, ski racing knitwear was the gear of choice for gate crashers whose passion, attitude, and on-snow technique endeared them to mountain towns and alpine sport enthusiasts the world over.

During the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's, ski knitwear was the gear of choice for gate crashers whose passion, attitude, and on-snow technique endeared them to mountain towns the world over.

Sweater is ill-fitting

I'm returning this sweater with two complaints -- 1) the sweater has listed as "ivory" but it has dark green stripes. My computer barely shows the green, it looks like a darker shade of grey. So, it's not the right color I expected. 2) The shoulders fit well and tight but the length of the sweater and the sleeves is unusually long. I'm tempted to try a medium.

excellent fit and finish

Fit is true to size and flattering. The ski race knit epitomizes classic ski style. Warm and thick, with classic chevron/mountain pattern and all the benefits of wool, the DWR coating is adequate in light snow/mist. The thumbholes in the cuffs are a nice added touch. It is a great mid-layer for resort skiing as well as a stylish insulator après or around town. Wears well with the rest of the Alps & Meters collection. Paired with the alpine winter trouser and underneath items such as the classic shell jacket or alpine hooded vest, I couldn't be happier with this piece.
