Parajumpers Blizzard jacket

Parajumpers is an Italian luxury outerwear brand founded in 2006. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in a chance encounter between designer Massimo Rossetti and a serving member of the 210th Rescue Squadron in Anchorage, Alaska. These elite rescue specialists, known as "Parajumpers" (PJS), inspire the technical functionality and rugged aesthetic of the garments.

While the brand is Italian-born and maintains its design, R&D, and quality oversight in Italy under Ape & Partners SpA, its manufacturing processes are distributed globally. While some collections or specific lines are produced in Italy or European workshops, many of their commercial products, including specific models like the Blizzard jacket shown in the image, are manufactured in China, as indicated by the label.

The brand has remained under the ownership of Ape & Partners SpA since its inception. They are well-known for their signature technical details, such as the yellow elastic strap inspired by parachute hooks and the "That Others May Live" motto, reflecting the heritage of the Alaskan rescue squadron.
