Information
Alpha
Lightweight, minimalist climbing and alpinism products that protect from alpine environments.
Climb
Climbing equipment designed for efficient movement and protection in alpine environments.
Windproof material
Impervious to wind and offers significant weather resistance with lighter weight protection.
GORE-TEX
Waterproof, windproof and breathable textiles that offer fully protective environmental shelter.
The Alpha Jacket is purposefully designed for fast, technical ascents where every gram counts, but having a reliable alpine shield is non-negotiable. Pairing GORE-TEX PRO ePE with 50D Hadron™ face fabric strikes the right balance between waterproof-breathable protection and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for daily use in rugged terrain and shifting conditions. With a harness-compatible build and precise articulation, this jacket is made to climb through any storm.
What's been updated: Updated to GORE-TEX PRO ePE, the Alpha Jacket features a new membrane that offers the highest-performing waterproof-breathable protection in an even lighter and more durable package—all while remaining free from intentionally added PFAS. A low-profile RECCO® reflector hidden in the hood brim improves your searchability in emergency situations. A new internal dump pocket makes stashing gloves easy, and the internal security pocket keeps valuables safe.
