What is Alpha Direct?
Alpha™ Direct is an innovative patented fabric developed by Polartec in the United States, designed specifically for outdoor sports that require lightness, warmth and breathability.Its excellent breathability, warmth retention and extreme lightness allow you to always stay comfortable and dry in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius or during high-intensity exercise.
Whether it's extreme skiing, long climbs, or fast-moving runs, Alpha Direct can help you.
Applicable scenarios
1. Skiing: A magical way to keep warm outdoors in winter
When skiing, you have to deal with the cold and the sweat and moisture after exercise. Alpha Direct's excellent sweat-wicking ability quickly removes excess moisture while retaining warmth, so you no longer feel cold due to sweating! You don't need to put on or take off clothes from morning till sunset, so your body temperature can be kept stable.
2. Mountaineering: an all-around choice in temperature differences
Mountaineering requires dealing with the huge temperature difference between day and night. Alpha Direct's all-weather temperature control function allows you to be comfortable whether you are in the cold wind on the top of the mountain or in the sunshine on the mountainside, without having to frequently add or remove clothes. In addition, its extremely lightweight feature makes it easier to carry and reduces the weight you carry.

3. Running and trail running: the ideal companion for dryness and lightness
During running, excessive sweating can cause discomfort and affect performance. Cross-country running requires facing the challenges of complex terrain and changing environment. The highly breathable Alpha Direct wicks away moisture quickly to prevent sweat buildup, keeping you performing at your best from your morning run to your trail race.
The lightweight design of Alpha Direct not only reduces the weight burden, but also improves flexibility, allowing you to easily handle any activity and be more immersed in the present moment.
Alpha Direct's Four Core Advantages
1. Extremely breathable, keep you dry and comfortable
The combination of lofty fibres, a mesh core construction and hydrophobic properties allows moisture to quickly move away from the body, preventing stickiness and coldness. This is especially important for high-intensity skiing, running or long-term exercise, so that you will not be bothered by sweat.
2. All-weather warmth and temperature control capabilities
The patented synthetic thermal fiber of the fabric has excellent warmth retention and can effectively cope with changing environments. When the weather turns hot or cools down suddenly, Alpha Direct's features can effectively regulate body temperature to avoid overheating and discomfort.
3. Lightweight design reduces burden and improves mobility
It is 30% lighter than traditional bristle thermal insulation materials. It is thin and light while keeping warm, greatly reducing the burden on equipment. This lightweight design also improves your body's mobility during high-intensity activities, allowing you to move more flexibly and smoothly when skiing, running or climbing.
4. Durable and easy to maintain
Highly abrasion-resistant, it maintains its performance and appearance after repeated washings. If you often engage in outdoor sports, whether it is a single event or multiple events, it is very suitable, which makes Alpha Direct a very worthwhile investment in outdoor equipment.
