An abbreviation of Monestier-de-Clermont, a mountain village near Grenoble, Moncler was born when founders René Ramillon and Andrè Vincent began creating protective clothing for workers to wear over their overalls. With expert designs and materials a firm feature in each collection, this down knit jacket is designed for on and off the slopes. Crafted from a water-repellent material, its windproof for added protection from the elements. A hybrid garment, this blends the elements of quilt and a knitted top, with a down fill for insulation and knitted sleeves. In true brand style, a cockerel patch on the sleeve completes the design.
