Extreme weather, shifting conditions, varied terrain, motion and rest – these are alpine realities. The Alpha is a highly versatile hardshell designed to handle them. Gore-Tex Pro Most Rugged reinforces high-wear areas, while ultralight, highly abrasion-resistant Gore-Tex with Hadron face fabric zones shed grams and improve breathability. The helmet-compatible StormHood delivers protection without impacting vision, a Recco reflector can aid search and rescue, and pit zippers add ventilation.
