Ernest Hemingway loved to ski the Italian Dolomites.
Instead of the chairlift, he opted to hitch a ride on a milk truck in the pre-dawn hours.
And had he the choice, we’d like to think Papa would’ve stayed toasty with something like the military-inspired stylings of Coldsmoke.
Coldsmoke’s duds use high-tech detailing like eVent and YKK airtight zippers, which offer military-grade waterproofing and allow for maximum sweat release.
This ski season, here’s what we’ll be wearing, in the Dolomites and beyond:
Hooks for gloves, internal ski pass window and a media pocket with earphone slot. Ideal for carving fresh tracks in the backcountry.
Modeled after the bearskin pullovers worn by Inuit hunters.
Diamond quilted, mat-weave denim on the outside, cotton jersey on the inside. Ideal for wandering the ski town in the wee hours.
Also something Papa would’ve done.
