Mountains test your resilience. Cliffs and cold and striving for
the summit push your physical and mental limits. Gravity and fear pull you
down, while passion and determination push you higher. It is for these moments,
these experiences, that the climber/mountaineer founders of聽. design apparel.
Driven by a desire to make products with fortitude and inspired by
passion for the experiences unique to the magnificient peaks, the company makes
mountain wear reminiscent of a time when climbing was in its purest form and
excellence was found in all aspects of a product鈥攚hen performance and quality
were as important as style and design.

materials combined with classic style for its products, all manufactured in the United States. Every single
stitch of their wears is sewn by a craftsman who takes personal pride in each pass of the
needle. And every garment is arduously tested to ensure you can rely on it
for a lifetime. When a product is finally deemed perfect,
the crafter signs the garment before it鈥檚 sent to you with American Mountain
Co.'s lifetime guarantee.
The company is launching on聽聽now with
two products: the No. 907 High-Altitude Hardshell Jacket and the No. 307
Mid-Altitude Windproof Fleece Jacket.

made-in-the-USA fabrics are the best available, and the jackets have innovative
features, like a system to keep the base of the jacket tight
around your waist, which is far superior to the ubiquitous elastic waist drawcord used in
most other jackets. And American Mountain Co.鈥檚 hightop collar offers increased wind
protection and heat retention. Available February 2013, $325 for the #307 and $625
