The Alps & Meter High West Jacket is a Forged Performance piece born out of the rugged nature of working on the frigid high plains. Designed with a fusion of high-performance corduroy and natural down protection, the High West Jacket combines modern warmth with classic protection and style.

Waterproof corduroy, a detachable hood, quilted down, and a "High West" graphic interior delivers a ski jacket that connects directly with the rustic roots of the classic mountains of the American West. A garment evoking the personality of skiing’s first western sportsmen, the High West Jacket offers warmth, comfort, and style for the gentleman skier seeking first-class quality and on-mountain performance.

THE Alps & Meter STORY

After WWII, ex-soldiers and trainers from the storied 10th Mountain Division led the boon in winter recreation, starting in the Rocky Mountains and Western region of the United States. 

With deep ties to the founding and development of American resorts such as Vail and Aspen Highlands, alpine sport legends such as Pete Siebret, “Whip” Jones, and Dick Durrance became the fathers of Western resort skiing and winter recreation in the United States. These Western pioneers of U.S. skiing turned passion into vision by creating the first quintessential American skiing experiences. 

Shaped by a “cowboy” attitude reflecting the spirit and material complexion of the nostalgic ski garments of Colorado during the '60s and ’70s, the Alps & Meters High West Jacket channels the sturdy and adventurous soul of the United States’ Western region into a garment of pure “Americana”, rugged quality, and tasteful historical reference to the bygone days of skiing’s boom in the Rocky Mountains.
