Versatile hybrid GORE-TEX jacket performs across a range of alpine conditions. *The Alpha Jacket was previously the Alpha AR Jacket.
Overview
Extreme weather, shifting conditions, varied terrain, motion and rest – these are alpine realities.
The Alpha is a highly versatile hardshell designed to handle them. GORE-TEX PRO Most Rugged reinforces high-wear areas, while ultralight, highly abrasion-resistant GORE-TEX with Hadron™ face fabric zones shed grams and improve breathability.
The helmet-compatible StormHood™ delivers protection without impacting vision, a RECCO® reflector can aid search and rescue, and pit zippers add ventilation.
Updated with proprietary Hadron™ LCP fabric zones in low-wear areas for reduced weight, improved breathability.
