The Alpine Start Insulated Hoody is an extremely versatile midlayer that combines lightweight design with protective features. It is designed for high-performance activities in cold temperatures. The Schoeller stretch nylon outer material provides abrasion-resistant wind and weather protection, while Polartec Alpha in key areas such as the chest, shoulders, upper arms, and back ensures a balanced ratio of warmth and breathability. The Alpine Start Insulated Hoody has a fit that allows for unrestricted freedom of movement, an adjustable hood, and a drop hem. All zippers are treated with DWR, and the jacket can be packed into the front chest pocket.
