Flyweight warmth for Dry Winter riding
Like a greatest hits mixtape, the Alpha Merino Air jacket combines many of our class-leading innovations into this new winter riding jacket.
It's genre? Flyweight, yet deceptively warm. It's our current go-to for cool to cold weather riding when the forecast is for mostly dry conditions. Designed to be worn over a baselayer, its close fit keeps things streamlined (no flapping) and with the incredibly light feel of a jersey, close your eyes and you'd think it was spring (don't ride bikes with your eyes closed). Packed with technical details and features, the Alpha Merino Air sets a new standard in comfort and protection for long winter miles.

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 super soft and breathable insulation layer.
At an ultralight 50gsm, the mechanical stretch, unmatched breathability, air permeability, and DWR triple coating, the Japanese-milled Quantum Air shell by Pertex provides wind and water-resistant protection -- keeping you dry and protected from the elements.
The back panel of the jacket is made from a special recycled microfleece lined Italian-milled polyester, providing the highest levels of breathability, stretch for mobility on the bike, and a super soft touch.
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
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 here:
- Low profile lycra cuff for excellent fit and no 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
