Vail’s hippest ski boutique meets Swiss-engineered style. At Miller Sports, we curate Capranea for men because it nails the sweet spot between high-performance mountain tech and clean, modern aesthetics. If you’re in Vail looking for ski wear that looks as sharp on Bridge Street as it performs in the Back Bowls, Capranea is your move.

The Capranea Difference (why it belongs at Vail’s hippest boutique)

Swiss-designed, European-made. Capranea blends European hand-tailoring with precise Swiss development so pieces move cleanly on snow and read refined on Bridge Street. Patterns, material selection, and cutting are directed from Switzerland, then produced in top European luxury factories for a sleek drape and long-wear quality. The palette stays timeless by design—less trend-chasing, more modern alpine uniform.

Innovation you can feel, not flash. The line is built by pushing past “how it’s usually done”—prioritizing four-way stretch across outerwear and midlayers so the kit flows with you, not against you. Insulation choices are equally intentional, from responsibly sourced 750-fill down to Primaloft Black and Capranea’s own Pinneco blends to keep temperature regulated when the day swings from cold lifts to sunny bowls.

Responsibility baked into the supply chain. Capranea keeps material partnerships close—working with leading European textile makers for durability, recyclability, and traceability, and maintaining geographic proximity to production to elevate quality control and long-term sustainability goals. It’s a quieter kind of performance: pieces that last, made with care for the alpine places we love.

Heritage with real mountain DNA. Founder Marc Haensli grew up inside ski innovation—the son of Walter Haensli, a pioneer behind HEAD Ski—so the brand’s “no-compromise” ethic comes from generations of reimagining how alpine gear should perform and feel. That legacy shows up in today’s collection: refined silhouettes that still rip when Vail turns on.

Why Capranea Ski Wear in Vail?

Capranea builds for real alpine weather—20,000 mm waterproofing / 20,000 g/24h breathability on core jackets and pants—plus four-way stretch that keeps you moving fluidly from cold lift rides to technical steeps. Many styles add tailored details (detachable hood/gaiter, waterproof zips, knit cuffs) and refined fabric touches like waterproof wool inserts and leather-look accents—subtle, elevated, very Vail. If you’re new to the brand, start with what sets Capranea apart—design, innovation, sustainability, and heritage—then dive into our men’s lineup below.

The Men’s Lineup We Recommend

Eiger Jacket — technical and tailored
Built to “do things differently,” Eiger is a refined, do-everything shell/insulated hybrid with 20k/20k protection, four-way stretch, detachable hood + snow gaiter, and those signature waterproof wool inserts. It’s a killer front-side to Blue Sky Basin daily driver with a clean silhouette that dresses up for après.

Generoso Jacket — alpine meets street
Generoso brings a distinctive leather-look chest insert to Capranea’s performance platform (still 20k/20k, four-way stretch, waterproof zips). It’s the one our style-forward guests grab when they want a little design punch without sacrificing storm-day function.

Badus Jacket — the warmest in the range
When Vail gets frigid, Badus is “our warmest ski jacket ever,” with the same 20k/20k weatherproofing, four-way stretch, and detachable hood/gaiter—plus waterproof wool inserts for a luxe, technical finish. If you run cold or want one jacket to crush storm cycles, this is it.

Sardona Ski Pant — movement + weatherproofing
The Sardona pant pairs 20k/20k protection with four-way stretch, full seam taping, leg vents, adjustable waistband, and an elastic snow gaiter. It’s tailored but mobile—great with Eiger, Generoso, or Badus.

Rossberg Layer — light, warm, packable
Your year-round midlayer: Rossberg is a light-gauge, 100% virgin merino quarter-zip that’s soft, breathable, and low-bulk—perfect under a shell on cold mornings and easy to wear solo in town.

Build Your Vail Kit (Our Staff Picks)

• Cold storm day: Badus + Rossberg + Sardona → maximum warmth without the Michelin-man look.
• Most days on the mountain: Eiger + Rossberg + Sardona → sleek, athletic, ready for bowls, bumps, or groomers.
• Ski to après: Generoso + Sardona → performance on-hill; design-forward in town.

Why shop Capranea at Miller Sports?

• Hottest boutique energy: Modern brands, limited drops, and pieces you won’t see on every other skier.
• Hands-on fitting: Try Eiger vs. Generoso vs. Badus back-to-back with the Sardona pant and Rossberg layer to feel the differences in mobility, warmth, and silhouette.
• Vail-proven advice: What actually works for a powder morning in Sun Up + a sunny afternoon on Riva Ridge.

Feature Highlights (What our guests ask about)

• Waterproofing & breathability: 20,000 mm / 20,000 g—reliable for storm days and wet chairlifts without feeling swampy on the climb-outs.

• Smart details: Detachable/adjustable hoods, snow skirts, knit cuffs, ticket and interior media pockets, waterproof zips.
