Breathes on the move and keeps the chill out in between. The Alpha Ascender Hoody combines Polartec^® Alpha^® and Polartec^® Power Stretch^® Pro™ for the ultimate in breathable insulation that regulates core body temperature and wicks moisture as you push above the treeline. Worn as a primary insulator on milder days or as a mid-layer on those extra chilly alpine starts, the Alpha Ascender Hoody works as hard as you do so you can avoid the layer shuffle and get after it.
