Alpine Fit

Alpine Fit began in an Anchorage workshop, not a boardroom. Founder and owner Jen Loofbourrow built the brand after years of testing outdoor layers on cold, wet trips where standard sizing and fabric choices kept falling short. The company moved its family and studio base to Bellingham in 2025, but the product point is still Alaska-tested gear for people who need clothing to fit, breathe, and hold up.

The ownership trail is direct. Alpine Fit's own about page names Loofbourrow as founder and owner, dates the company's Anchorage workshop years from 2019 to 2025, and explains the move to Washington. Garage Grown Gear's brand profile tells the same story from outside the company: Loofbourrow founded Alpine Fit after a career in materials, apparel, and outdoor retail. We found no corporate parent, acquisition record, or exclusion-list match.

Alpine Fit makes base layers, leggings, underwear, fleece pieces, hats, headbands, and neck gaiters. The useful part is the fit system. Many styles come in two shape options instead of one generic cut, which matters if you have ever tried to hike all day in a layer that technically fits but pulls in the wrong places. Their fabric choices lean practical: odor-resistant synthetics, merino wool, recycled materials where the performance case makes sense, and construction handled through U.S. production partners.

This is not a natural-fiber-only brand, and we would not frame it that way. Clean outdoor gear often involves tradeoffs: synthetic layers dry fast and last longer, while cheap synthetics shed, stink, and get replaced too often. Alpine Fit earns a listing because it treats those tradeoffs honestly. The products are designed for repeat wear, real sizing, and fewer failed purchases.

For outdoor families, thru-hikers, paddlers, skiers, and anyone tired of disposable activewear, that is a useful kind of clean. The brand is especially useful for people who have been sized out of the standard outdoor-apparel fit model. Better fit means fewer returns, fewer backup purchases, and fewer base layers sitting untouched in a gear bin.
