Dynafit Tigard Alpha Direct Jacket
With breathability and comfort as its stated goals, the Tigard Polartec Alpha Direct jacket from Dynafit is an essential mid-layer to carry around (or wear) for aerobic days in the mountains. Utilizing Polartec Alpha Direct insulation, which can trace its lineage back to insulation specially developed for US Special Forces, this jacket does an exceptional job helping manage thermoregulation while allowing excess moisture, produced during hard aerobic efforts, to escape. This allows you to remain (more) dry and comfortable during long days in the mountains. The tighter profile of the hood cozily snugs around your head to keep drafts out and can fit under a helmet in colder conditions. The DWR coating is PFC-free and helps fend off light precipitation. For a breathable mid-layer that excels during aerobic use, bring along the Dynafit Tigard Polartec Alpha Direct jacket.
- Polartec Alpha Direct insulation is very breathable while providing warmth to take the bite out of cold summits.
- PFC-free durable water-repellent coating resists light precipitation and wind, helping keep you warm and dry.
- Tighter fitting hood can fit under a helmet in colder conditions.
- Hybrid construction finds a good balance between weight, warmth, and durability.
