Women's Alpine Thermal Vest
The Alpine Vest is a particularly versatile piece to have in your shoulder season/Winter kit and can be added on any number of layering options to provide a huge range of operable temperatures. With zoned application of the Polartec® Alpha® Direct fill, there’s insulation where you want but avoiding excessive overlapping of insulation like over back pockets.
Layer it up over our Ascent LS Jersey and Alpine Thermal Bib Shorts to take the chill off those cold Fall mornings and stuff it in your pocket as it warms up, or use it over our Alpine Thermal Jersey and Alpine Thermal Tights on a chilly Winter training day to keep your core toasty warm without overheating.
•Shell fabric is Recycled, lightweight, stretch-woven fabric with C0 DWR coating.
•C0 is a non-flourocarbonated chemistry that is far less harmful to the environment than traditional C6 or C8 DWR.
•Insulation is Polartec Alpha Direct, a revolutionary insulation that is lightweight, compressible, fast-drying and excellent at regulating warmth.
•Zoned-application of fill strategically insulates while not overheating.
•Mid-height, Polartec Alpha Direct lined collar is soft and comfy.
•Two-way, YKK Vislon zipper provides smooth, durable action and allows for ventilation from both the bottom and top, also allowing easy access to jersey pocket contents.
•Zipper placket and zipper garage enhance comfort and wind resistance.
•Three large pockets for all-day ride storage and a hidden security pocket with glove-compatible zipper puller.
•360 reflective including two large reflective strips on the back pockets, reflective logos front and back.
•Laser-perforated under-arms for increased moisture vapor transfer.
•Lightweight and breathable elastic gripper with silicone print to keep the Vest in place
The stretchy, cozy grid fleece softshell material on all leading-edge panels of the Alpine is not only thermally efficient, but both water resistant and wind proof as well. Medium-weight Storm Fleece across the back ensures a perfect fit while also aiding temperature regulation and breathability. To further enhance the usability of this winter garment we used an environmentally sensitive C6 DWR (durable water repellent) coating on all exterior fabrics so that moisture in the form of road spray, snow and sleet merely rolls off.
A reflective two-way zip allows for even more temperature regulation if you run hot during exertion. Three large rear pockets with a fourth zippered security pocket ensure you can stow everything you may need for a big winter ride.
