Iconic Cold-Weather Outerwear for Reliable Warmth
PARAJUMPERS items are characterized by their authentic materials, construction, and practical designs, capable of withstanding the rigorous missions of rescue teams, along with playful details found throughout. The brand is globally supported not only in Italy but also in Germany, Norway, France, the United States, and Canada.
It's still fresh in our memory that actor Bradley Cooper, who debuted in the globally hit drama "Sex and the City" and rose to fame playing Phil in "The Hangover" in 2009, was recently photographed by paparazzi wearing PARAJUMPERS apparel, making headlines.
From Encountering Rescue Personnel to Crafting Outerwear
PARAJUMPERS began with the encounter between Massimo Rossetti, a fashion designer with a long career as an Italian importer of American brands, and APE & PARTNERS SPA, an Italian company that started its business managing a knitwear factory.
In a remote bar in Anchorage, Alaska, Massimo Rossetti met members of the 210th Air Rescue Squadron. From there began the challenge to create "one-of-a-kind masterpieces."
The 210th Air Rescue Squadron, headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, is known as one of the world's leading rescue teams, tasked with search and rescue operations in extreme conditions. Their missions extend to all environments, including maritime distress, mountains over 4,000 meters, and submerged submarines. The rescue personnel, affectionately known as "PJs," are known for being tough, brave, and undergoing training that surpasses that of any military force.
The 2015-16 Fall/Winter Collection Arrives
The PARAJUMPERS collection, primarily featuring coats, embodies advanced and cutting-edge technology, with a focus on unparalleled functionality. The brand's iconic "MASTERPIECE ANTHOLOGY" line of authentic military outerwear, for both men and women, utilizes high-quality nylon and high-density polyester for its outer materials.
The high-strength nylon coats come standard with a detachable padded liner and a fur-lined hood capable of withstanding extreme cold. The front of the coat features zip-closure cargo pockets and additional pockets designed to compactly store essentials like iPods, GPS receivers, and mobile phones.
