The Story
BAÏST was founded by Ace Jonas, an avid skier and snowboarder with a deep passion for winter sports and the outdoors. Dealing with Raynaud's disease, a condition causing poor circulation in extremities, Ace faced extreme cold in his hands and feet during winter. Frustrated by the lack of warm and durable gloves in the market, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Ace introduced the BAÏST Classic glove, featuring a removable liner system for adaptability to various weather conditions. The glove proved an immediate success, prompting Jonas to swiftly expand the BAÏST product line to encompass a range of gloves and accessories.
BAÏST underwent a strategic shift, directing its efforts towards the creation of groundbreaking products, establishing key partnerships with renowned athletes, and exploring untapped markets.
Noteworthy milestones include Dr. Jon Kedrowski's multiple successful summits of Everest in collaboration with BAÏST, including a notable ascent alongside Mike Posner. Additionally, BAÏST gained recognition from prominent athletes associated with Teton Gravity Research, such as Colter Hinchliffe, Tim Durtschi, and Jake Hopfinger. These achievements underscored BAÏST's commitment to excellence and its growing influence in the industry.
In a year of collaborative creativity, Scot and BAÏST's design engineers joined forces, combining Scot's decades of mountain expertise with BAÏST's gear mastery. Their shared goal: crafting the perfect glove that met legendary standards and showcased BAÏST's quality and innovation.
Enter the BAÏST Legends line, featuring gloves co-designed with legendary athletes. The debut glove, created with ski mountaineer Scott Schmidt, became the Scot Schmidt glove – a masterpiece blending functionality, durability, and style, mirroring Scot's impact on skiing. Every stitch pays homage to the mountains' untamed spirit, making this glove not just an accessory but a tangible embodiment of Scot's know-how and BAÏST's precision. From sleek to bold designs, it's ready to accompany every skier and rider on their epic adventures, holding the essence of a legend.
