Thanks to innovative Polartec High Loft™ fabric, the Alpedge Jacket is the ideal midlayer for start-and-go mountain activities. High Loft™ consists of hydrophobic yarns that repel moisture and dry incredibly fast. Extended polyester yarns create large air pockets to retain more thermal warmth while keeping this insulation lightweight. It packs an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, too, giving you greater freedom of movement when tackling technical terrain. Plus, the symmetrical design is not only soft, but also reduces surface friction for versatile layering - perfect when you need to wear a baselayer underneath and waterproof shell on top. This season's iteration harnesses breathable FUTUREFLEECE™ side panels, which feature a full-loop construction and octa-yarns to provide optimal warmth without excess bulk or weight.
