Think movement. The Alagna Lite jacket and pant is a “near suit” for racing and high-output touring. The front panel of the jacket is made of Karpos K-Shell which is windproof yet still soft and stretchy. The cuffs and medial side of the sleeves are made of Dualfit, an even more breathable fabric so you vent where you need it. The back is an even lighter fabric called Dualfit Light, for even more sweat-wicking and breathability underneath a pack. Two large mesh skin pockets are located on the belly, perfectly situated between the upper and lower straps of most packs so you always have unimpeded access to your skins. Two external zippered chest pockets are the welcome home for nutrition products or a phone. Between the strategic wind-proofing in the front, ultralight fabric in the back, complete DWR finish, and YKK zips, Karpos has a real winner on their hands. It’s you.
