About the brand:

Parajumpers is a project deriving from the cooperation between Ape and designer Massimo Rossetti, who has many years of experience as a designer of outerwear, and also as an importer of American brands for the Italian market.  A meeting with a serving member of the 210th Rescue Squadron in an ill-famed bar in Anchorage, Alaska provided inspiration for  Massimo Rossetti’s latest creation.  The result is an extremely innovative outerwear collection with highly technological components, designed above all else to be functional
