The ultralight, wind resistant, thermally efficient Alpha Hoodie heralds a new era for mid-layer garments. It uses a combination of two technical fabrics, a Japanese woven, air permeable/wind resistant, nylon outer and a USA knitted Polartec® Alpha®, polyester liner.

The Alpha® Fabric was created for the special armed forces wanting breathability and reliable warmth during their start-stop physical activities in a wide variety of temperature extremes. Polartec® Alpha® attaches resilient loft fibres to a durable mesh core to create a heat capturing string singlet like fabric.

For the past 3 decades standard double sided brushed polar fleece fabric has been the performance mainstay for a mid-layer. Renowned for its breathability, warmth and fast drying performance the Alpha Hoodie surpasses these properties improving lightness, wind resistance, and compressibility in storage.

Importantly the Alpha Hoodie when worn under a waterproof/breathable outer layer will not hinder its breathability. The wearer remains comfortable and dry with no moisture build in the underlying base and mid-layers no matter the wearers physical activity.

The versatility of the Alpha Hoodie is unmatched, it can be used as a mid-layer garment under a waterproof/breathable outer garment or, in dry conditions, as an all-in-one mid/outer layer.

Heather – 21/02/2026

Versatile and mint performance. This is the most versatile jacket. It’s warm, breathes (and I’m a heavy sweater), and provides meaningful wind protection. I can use it on the move, when I stop and at camp/in a hut.
Performance wise It’s close to a down jacket. I’ve used it just with a thermal layer or t-shirt underneath, and added a light mid-layer underneath in colder conditions. It works brilliantly with a shell over the top or as an outer layer.
I can’t speak highly enough about this jacket. This truly works as either insulation or a mid-layer.
Well done Earth Sea Sky.
