Large was a very nice fit for me (6'4 200 lbs). Sleeves are perfect length where most garments usually run short. This is my first Alpha sweater and I absolutely love it. Awesome amount of loft/warmth for layering with windbreaker and breathes amazingly well for high output activities in cold weather. This sweater will go with me everywhere - thruhiking, ski touring, winter trail runs, xc skiing, pajama partys.. Wish I would have bought the pants too. Don't just buy this sweater, buy 4 of them.
Incredible fabric and well made. I use this layer at work (ski patrol/guide) and for personal days. The warmth for weight is wild. Breathability is unmatched. My favorite first layer down to -35. Bonus for supporting Canadian.
Great hoodie, extra star for being made in Canada
Amazing layer, well crafted. Sweat dries immediately. Breathable yet warm, was blown away by the tech
This hoodie is a super warm, functional layering piece for my winter running. The small fits excellent at 5ft10in / ~150lbs.
I was looking for an alpha direct product and was lucky to find Lobtree producing locally in Canada. The price point is competitive for the offering, and the quality is exactly what I was hoping for. I bought it to use as a running layer but I find myself reaching for it on casual days because it’s so cozy. I was had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was friendly and helpful, so it was a pleasure to purchase from Lobtree. I’ll probably be looking for a second piece to add to my rotation in the future.
