ALPHA MERINO
View all
The key to warmth without weight is the all-new Alpha Wool from Polartec. This novel version of the award-winning Alpha insulation incorporates merino wool fiber for added thermoregulation and moisture management. The body, sleeves and collar are all lined with this soft and breathable insulation layer, providing heat exactly where it's needed.
Premium Breathability
The back panel of the jacket is made from a special recycled microfleece-lined, Italian-milled polyester, providing the highest levels of breathability while maintaning stretch for mobility, and a super soft touch.
Quantum Air
At an ultralight 50gsm, mechanical stretch, unmatched breathability, air permeability, and DWR triple coating combine in the Pertex Quantum Air shell for complete protection. This wind and water-resistant outer material will keep you protected from the elements on any length of ride.
3D Fit
Using a similar patterning to our proven Signature Softshell Jacket, the Alpha Merino Air features 3D patterning for exceptional on-bike fit. All of these refinements equate to a streamlined and tailored fit with minimal flapping and binding, and fewer distractions while riding.
‣ Sleeves are pre-shaped
‣ Shoulders are articulated in a forward position
‣ Collar is cut higher in front and lower in the back
‣ The back panel is more open and chest/shoulders are more closed, tailored to on-bike positioning
The Finer Points
Like with all of our apparel, the details are carefully considered. Each seam, zip, hem and elastic is intended to improve fit, comfort and functionality. And we didn't stop there:
‣ Low profile lycra cuff for a snug fit around the wrists, eliminating drafts, with or without gloves
‣ YKK two-way zipper provides robust function with added ventilation and access
‣ Three full-sized gusseted back pockets for the long haul
