Polartec® Alpha™ Direct

Polartec® Alpha™  Direct is an advanced active insulation material engineered to provide superior warmth and breathability during high-intensity activities. Alpha™ Direct integrates an innovative lofted knit construction that directly retains warmth while promoting airflow to regulate body temperature.

Key advantages of Polartec® Alpha™  Direct over other insulation materials include:

  1. Breathability: Alpha™  Direct facilitates efficient moisture management by allowing sweat vapour to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
  2. Warmth-to-Weight Ratio: It offers exceptional warmth for its weight, ensuring optimal thermal efficiency without adding unnecessary bulk.
  3. Quick Drying: The fabric is hydrophobic and therefore dries quickly.
  4. Versatility: Alpha™  Direct is designed to be worn close to the skin or layered with other garments, making it adaptable to a wide range of temperatures and activity levels.
  5. Packability: Alpha™  Direct is lightweight and compressible reducing pack volume and weight.

We use Polartec® Alpha™  Direct 60, 90 and 120 GSM weight material in the construction of our apparel.
