The risk of an avalanche is always near when you are in the mountains. India and Pakistan have the most experienced mountain troops in the world. Even so, disaster cannot always be avoided. According to the news report below, over 100 soldiers were lost to an avalanche. Stay safe out there! Trapped Soldiers
We found a video on YouTube of the Group 99 L5 jacket and given the response we got the other day we figured we would post it here.
I want to say thank you to everyone who visited our site in the past several days.
When we posted pictures of Group 99′s new L5 and L7 garments our traffic exploded! I want to extend my thanks to all of you. I hope you will visit often.
All the best from Alpin Gruppe
It may come as a shock to some, but gear does not actually last forever. Wouldn’t it be nice if it did? Black Diamond has taken up the issue in their journal which you can read right here: QC LAB: Gear Doesn’t Last Forever, PART I — ICE TOOL PICKS
When it comes to mountain warfare many units have had unoffical mottos with a skull and a combination of winter equipment beneath. After seeing these for years I decided I wanted something like that for Alpin Gruppe. This shirt is a reflection of that. I found an awesome skull and then put crossed ice axes below it. The Jolly Rodgers of the mountains! No sooner had I made the emblem than guys were demanding to know where they could get the image. I put it on a shirt and made a local run of them. The guys bought them out and they literally won’t stop wearing them. Suffice it to say, everyone loves these shirts so I guess it’s about time we sold them world wide.
I’m no slouch when it comes to shirts. These shirts are made by Anvil and they are super soft and comfortable. You won’t want to take it off!
