ABOUT ALPINE SURF WEAR
Our Mission
Alpine Surf Wear originated from a fundamental need to stay warmer and ride longer during the harsh mountain winters of the 1980s. Founded by passionate snowboarders who believed that gear should be designed for real conditions, not just aesthetics, the brand quickly gained a reputation for rugged durability and exceptional warmth. What began as small-batch, rider-driven innovation evolved into a trusted choice for mitts used by snowboarders, snowmobilers, backcountry explorers, and outdoor adventurers across North Idaho and the greater Pacific Northwest.
At the heart of Alpine Surf Wear is the iconic Bat Waves symbol, which represents freedom, creativity, and the fearless spirit of mountain culture. Over the decades, the Bat Mitts have pushed beyond resort boundaries, enduring brutal storms, deep powder, and even legendary expeditions to peaks like Denali and Mount Everest. These real-world challenges have shaped the design philosophy that continues to guide the brand today: to build mitts that perform when conditions are at their worst, enabling outdoor adventures to thrive.
When it comes to outdoor adventures in North Idaho, Alpine Surf Wear is the go-to choice for enthusiasts. Whether you're catching Bat Waves or hitting the slopes for snowboarding, this gear will keep you stylish and comfortable.
