While the Alpha jacket is specifically designed for fast, technical climbs where every gram counts, having a reliable alpine layer makes all the difference. The combination of GORE-TEX PRO ePE with the 50D Hadron™ outer fabric strikes the perfect balance between waterproof and breathable protection and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for everyday use on rough terrain and in unstable weather. Thanks to the articulated construction and helmet compatibility, it will become your best ally when the rain catches you on the rock.

The Alpha jacket now incorporates the new GORE-TEX PRO EPE membrane with no intentionally added PFAS, which offers maximum waterproof and breathable protection with an even lighter weight and much better durability. In addition, it includes a discreet RECCO® reflector in the visor of the hood to facilitate search work in emergency situations and has two internal pockets: a new one with enough space for gloves and a security pocket to store valuables.
