SIA Rates Mountain Uniforms as Top Brand
Incline Village, NV, July 6, 2006 - Mountain Uniforms was rated the top supplier brand by 155 ski resorts in a 2006 SnowSports Industries America (SIA) survey. The company ranked higher than brands such as The North Face, Patagonia and Mountain Hardwear (all top ten). SIA conducted the survey this past January.
"We are very proud that we were ranked top brand, especially given that 84% of respondents said that the most important factor in a uniform supplier was quality and 82% said durability," said Kim Stearns, president of Mountain Uniforms. "We have relied on quality fabrics like Toray's Entrant to ensure we produce garments that will stand up to the rigors of day-to-day work."
In addition to using the fabric, Mountain Uniforms makes it a practice to 100% seam-seal every seam. It also incorporates many other features specifically for on-mountain use, like large clipboard pockets inside the front pocket flap and built-in vinyl nametag slots. The company is widely known for its ability to allow customers to produce custom jackets.
