Introducing the Karpos Alagna, the high-performance speed-touring ski jacket. Hot laps on a thousand foot face in the middle of winter, peak-bagging in the spring, or the occasional Tuesday night race, the Alagna does it all. This is the platform around which Karpos has built a whole line of present and future classics. Thermodrytex Double is the high-tech fabric that keeps the Alagna going back up for more; it is awesomely stretchy and breathable. Top to bottom DWR treatment will take action and keep you smiling when the snow-clouds move in. The back panel and cuffs are made of a lighter Dualfit fabric for even more sweat-wicking and freedom of movement. The waist features ThermodrytexPL+, a version that allows for more protection from the elements while still being flexible. Two external pockets can hold a beacon, phone, camera, map, or some easily accessible food. Internal skin-pockets are accessed by way of a full length YKK zip. Let’s sum: comfortable collar, triple stitching, highly breathable, generous wind-resistance. The Alagna jacket is an active touring jacket that other jackets aspire to be.
