SmartWool Pro Purchase Program

SmartWool is again extending their Pro Purchase Program to PSIA-AASI Eastern Division members. Founded by New England ski instructors struggling to keep their feet warm, you won’t find better gear to keep you comfortable in all conditions than SmartWool. The SmartWool fiber combines comfort and performance into one versatile package.

PSIA-AASI E members should apply individually online at www.smartwool.com/pro. After completing the application, each applicant will need to email or fax the most current pay stub and/or PSIA-AASI card credentials. Pro Program discounts are currently set to 40% off. Pro Purchase privileges expire one year from approval date and must be renewed annually.

We’ll ask for your email and password – you can use the email and password you gave us when you set up your pro purchase account. As you shop, pro purchase pricing will automatically be shown.

You’ll receive an email that your Pro Purchase status has expired one year from your application acceptance. Please fill out the application again, found on www.smartwool.com/pro and submit your credentials to either propurchase@smartwool.com or by faxing them to (970) 879-0937 with attention to SmartWool Pro Purchase. Once we receive your credentials, you’ll be reinstated!

You can also ask a SmartWool Sales or Field Service Rep for a Pro Purchase card. This card has a “SmartCode” on the back of it, which you can enter on the Pro Purchase application in the Industry Partner Code field at the bottom. When you submit the application with this code, you’ll automatically be approved, without sending credentials.

Pro Purchase purgatory:

If you’ve submitted your application but haven’t sent us credentials, your Pro Purchase status is “pending”. Once we receive the proper credentials for the Affiliation you chose on your app, we’ll switch your account to “Active”. To find out what credentials you need to send, see our Pro Purchase Terms and Conditions here.

Any questions? Feel free to email us at: propurchase@smartwool.com.
