Our ALPHA DIRECT INSULATOR exemplifies the light and fast "put it on keep it on" mantra that Pete Gaston advocates when in the mountains. Used as a light midlayer or a stand alone all-day piece on spring missions this jacket is lined with 90gm of exposed Polartec Alpha Direct and faced with our air-permeable Recon Air fabric, making it the ideal midlayer to pair with the incredible breathability of our technical outerwear shells.

Thanks for the review, Thaden!
Fantastic - ordered online and item arrived quickly at my door, well in time for the holidays
I love this layer! It has become my go-to mid-layer for all ski touring activities, in all weather. Good insulative properties, combined with water resistance that holds up even in Coastal storms. Hard to know how I did without this before.
Low profile jacket with soft fuzzy lining, great for touring, Nordic or a fall/winter run. I toss in my bag no matter what the adventure is. From the river to the peaks this jacket provides just right amount of insulation.
