Simply Awesome

This is a very well built and well designed piece of gear. The articulated arms are excellent for climbing and ensure that the pull over does not ride up. Furthermore, the thumb-loops help a tonne when putting on other layers over top. I have used this for ski touring, rock and ice climbing, and some hiking. It has served me well and absolutely disappears in my pack until I need it. By far the best alpha layer I own!

High Quality Piece

I haven't had a chance to use this for it's intended purpose (backpacking) but I am very pleased with the quality of the workmanship and fit. I love the thumb loops for the hands and it does seem like it will be warmer than expected (while active). I'm someone who is very cold while static and very hot while moving, so I think the combination of breathability with warmth while under a wind blocking layer will be perfect. I am a smaller person (5'4" 120lbs) and was worried the xs might even be too big, but it fits perfectly. Great time to support this Canadian business!

Very warm

This is my first alpha direct garment. Its weight to warmth ratio is really impressive! Good stuff!

Excellent warmth/weight ratio

Really excited to see a Canadian startup making this gear—and right near me in Ottawa! This garment is very well made with flat stitching, YKK zipper, Lycra trim at wrists and waist. Fit is perfect with sleeves just a little long to allow use of thumbholes in sleeves. I’m 183cm(6’), 92kg (200lb) with 42”’chest and athletic build. Size large fits me perfectly without excess bagginess. Neck closes perfectly with zipper garage so no irritation. The 60gsm fabric is perfect for high-intensity activity like fatbiking. Layered with a windshirt (or without!) it moves sweat quickly and yet keeps warm in freezing temps. I originally bought (and kept) the 120gsm hoodie version for hiking and got the 60 gsm (hoodless) at same time for cycling. Nick, founder of Lobtree, has something special in this gear and the price is well worth the quality.

Nice Made in Canada Alpha Direct

The Lobtree Alpha Direct 60 crew is the newest addition to my collection of AD pieces (hoodies, leggings, socks, quilt). I've been very happy using it as part of my ski touring layering system. It is well made and was shipped quickly. I'm 6"1', 160lb and he Medium works but is a bit wide and short for build
