Polartec Alpha Direct Insulation

Polartec alpha direct insulation takes alpha s features one step further with enhanced resiliency and durability.

Polartec alpha direct insulation.

Our alpha direct insulator exemplifies the light and fast put it on keep it on mantra that pete gaston advocates when in the mountains. Polartec alpha was invented for the u s. It is said to have first class warmth to weight ratio and comes at 273g 9 6oz. Alpha direct s insulating fibers are uniquely shaped and sized to eliminate the need for a facing fabric.

They required a superior insulation system for extreme temperature variations and the start stop conditions of combat. Alpha active insulation is engineered for consistent warmth while allowing greater breathability during activity. The rab alpha flash is another mid layer using alpha direct insulation on most of its shape. Polartec alpha direct is an evolution of original alpha technology that eliminates the need for a backing fabric to create an enclosed fabric package.

By refining the shape and size of its lofted fibers alpha direct can be in direct contact with skin or other fabric layers. Rab s alpha direct uses a stripped down version of polartec alpha with the original inner liner fabric removed so the core alpha fibre layer is exposed. The lofoten alpha raw uses a combination of polartec alpha direct and polartec power grid in a mid layer class jacket for high output activities like skiing and snowboarding. Alpha direct active insulation.

This visible technology offers direct warmth increased breathability and compressibility and even faster dry times.
