WearGuard is the company that produced the staff vests with the infamous Eastern Division logo, and the very popular denim work shirts with the 60 Years of Service logo, featuring all three logos used by NSP in our 60 year history.

UNIFORMS

The NSP Board of Directors (BOD) has voted to stop providing parkas as of 2003. As a result, those patrols which have relied on the NSP catalog to furnish patrol uniforms will no longer be able to order either rust and navy or red and black parkas from the catalog. To assist those patrols which have relied on National to meet their uniform needs in locating other sources of clothing this page has been created as a resource. Because the vendors listed here are interested in wholesale sales, not individual orders, this page is primarily designed for Patrol Directors and other patrol officers responsible for uniform programs. 


PARKAS

ARC'TERYX was founded in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1991, where it maintains its Worldwide Head Office, design studios, and main manufacturing facilities.

Driven by innovation, ARC'TERYX was founded to build better gear. We didn’t just focus on incremental advancements, but on radically improving the status quo. We began with climbing harnesses and then proceeded to tackle packs and apparel with the same single-minded obsession for creating the lightest, best performing, and highest quality products available. To realize our vision we’ve created groundbreaking new construction technology, developed paradigm-shifting designs and harnessed major fabric technology developments.

The resulting deluge of recognition, and mimicry, has cemented our reputation at the pinnacle of the outdoor world. Our designers strive not to better the competition, but to challenge assumptions about how outdoor products should be built. Their visionary thinking is fused with our proprietary construction processes and our unrivalled craftsmanship to create the best outdoor gear made. Regardless of product, by selecting our brand you're insured that your ARC’TERYX product will be one of the most innovative and superbly crafted packs, harnesses or mountain apparel pieces available.

Since 1986, Airtime Hood River has been making Ski Patrol outerwear, beginning with the Mt Hood Ski Patrol and spreading across the nation. We have been told that if we can keep Ski Patrollers dry and warm on Mt Hood it can be done anywhere. If you’re on a mountain in the Northwest, chances are you’ll see Airtime Hood River outerwear.
