Alpine Start Insulated Hoodie - Men's

Eco-Repel Bio DWR is an environmentally friendly durable water repellent treatment applied to fabrics. It helps water bead up and roll off, keeping you dry without soaking into the material. This sustainable option not only protects you from the elements but also reduces environmental impact, making it a great choice for eco-conscious consumers.

Polartec Alpha is a lightweight synthetic insulation that traps heat while allowing moisture to escape. This breathability ensures you stay warm and comfortable during active outdoor activities without feeling weighed down. It's perfect for those who want warmth without sacrificing mobility.

A drop hem features a longer back than the front of the garment, offering extra coverage, especially when bending or stretching. This design is particularly beneficial for outdoor activities, as it keeps your lower back warm and protected, especially when wearing a harness or engaging in dynamic movements.

A bound hem is a finishing technique that encloses the edges of the fabric with a binding material. This not only gives your jacket a polished look but also prevents fraying and enhances durability. It ensures that the hem, sleeves, and hood maintain their shape and integrity, even during rigorous outdoor activities.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over a helmet, allowing you to stay protected from the elements while wearing safety gear. This feature is essential for activities like climbing or skiing, ensuring that your jacket remains functional and practical without compromising safety.

The combination of Eco-Repel Bio DWR, Polartec Alpha insulation, drop hem design, bound hem construction, and helmet-compatible hoods creates a high-performance garment that keeps you warm, dry, and comfortable. These thoughtful features are tailored for active outdoor enthusiasts, ensuring you can focus on your adventure without worrying about your gear.
