Alps and Meters Ski Sweaters

Traditional Winter Knit Ski Sweaters

Since the brands inception Alps & Meters has had the mission to build a modern ski wear brand set on a group of traditional values that reflect their clearly deep appreciation for authentic alpine sports. The culture, the stories, and the products reflect the nostalgic, timeless and rich experiences that we enjoy in mountains and ski towns around the world. Alps & Meters' creative philosophy is designed to fuse traditional garment construction methods with natural materials and contemporary technologies.

The original Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol relied on knitwear long before Gore-Te for warmth and protection. An authentic piece at the center of the new Alps and Meters ski wear collection is celebrating the history of the National Ski Patrol. For this they have created the Patrol Knit, a ski sweater crafted from fine Italian merino yarn and British Millerain waxed cotton. This design captures the performance and comfort of traditional patrol sweaters, and so much of what we love about rustic ski clothing.  The classic V-neck and British Millerain waxed cotton paneling deliver a classic garment presentation, coupled with attributes of timeless quality and durability.

 

Alps & Meters products are inspired by tradition and a desire to create iconic pieces that reflect a desire to fuse the old world with the new. Each ski jacket and pant is built to adhere to timeless aesthetic values with modern performance attributes that create a contemporary expression of traditional alpine sportswear.
