Alpha Hoodie Womens

The ultralight, wind resistant, thermally efficient Alpha Hoodie heralds a new era for mid-layer garments. It uses a combination of two technical fabrics, a Japanese woven, air permeable/wind resistant, nylon outer and a USA knitted Polartec® Alpha®, polyester liner.

The Alpha® Fabric was created for the special armed forces wanting breathability and reliable warmth during their start-stop physical activities in a wide variety of temperature extremes. Polartec® Alpha® attaches resilient loft fibres to a durable mesh core to create a heat capturing string singlet like fabric.

For the past 3 decades standard double sided brushed polar fleece fabric has been the performance mainstay for a mid-layer. Renowned for its breathability, warmth and fast drying performance the Alpha Hoodie surpasses these properties improving lightness, wind resistance, and compressibility in storage.

Importantly the Alpha Hoodie when worn under a waterproof/breathable outer layer will not hinder its breathability. The wearer remains comfortable and dry with no moisture build in the underlying base and mid-layers no matter the wearers physical activity.

The  versatility of the Alpha Hoodie is unmatched. It can be used as a mid-layer garment under a waterproof/breathable outer garment or, in dry conditions, as a multipurpose all-in-one outder layer.
