It began with a chance meeting between an Italian designer and a member of the 210th Rescue Squadron in an Anchorage, Alaska bar.
Massimo Rossetti found inspiration for the Parajumpers line of jackets from the famed unit of the Alaska Air National Guard known colloquially as Parajumpers—highly trained for extreme rescues and recoveries in the world’s most remote and hostile corners. Whether it’s a ship adrift at sea, a rock-climber stuck on a high wall or a submarine lost in frigid depths, the 210th Rescue Squadron is called on.
Parajumpers is a diverse outerwear collection with highly technological components, designed to be functional in extreme weather.
