The Alpha Direct Vest is crafted with Polartec® Alpha® Direct, delivering an optimal balance of breathability, warmth, and durability. Designed for transitional weather, it helps keep your core warm when layered under an outer shell while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape during active moments.


Designed in a classic vest silhouette, it features a large front pocket for added functionality and an adjustable drawstring at the hem for a customizable fit. Ideal for layering over a base layer or under an outer jacket, this versatile piece transitions easily from outdoor activity to urban wear.


We recommend taking your normal size for a standard fit.

Lucy ★★★★★

Wore this on a chilly morning run and the Polartec Alpha Direct kept my core warm without turning me into a sweaty mess—the breathability is seriously impressive for the weight.

Robert ★★★★★

The breathability is exactly what I needed for spring hikes—my core stays warm without that clammy feeling when the pace picks up. It's become my go-to layer for those 50-degree mornings that turn into afternoons.

Thomas ★★★★★

I’ve worn it on a few drizzly afternoons and the Polartec Alpha Direct fabric breathes just enough that I forget I have it on, yet it keeps my core warm without clamminess. The vest is surprisingly durable for how light it feels.
