Skalmo Alpha hoodie 90

Skalmo Alpha Hoodie

Weighing only 145-175 grams, the Skalmo Alpa Ho odie is the warmest mid-layer you can find in its weight class. It is designed and manufactured in Umeå, Sweden - for those who want a technical hoodie that delivers when every gram counts. Perfect as a reinforcement garment under the shell jacket or as a warming layer in camp.

Polartec® Alpha® is an insulation material that was originally developed for American special forces. They needed a material that could regulate heat effectively during high-intensity activities, while drying quickly and performing in a variety of temperatures and conditions.

Here's why Polartec Alpha is so great - especially in garments like the Skalmo Alpa Hoodie:

• Active insulation:
  Unlike traditional down or synthetic insulation, which must be encapsulated in dense layers, Alpha is "breathable" by itself. That means you won't overheat during activity - but still stay warm when you stop.

• Extremely quick-drying:
  Alpha wicks away moisture and dries much faster than both down and regular fleece.

• Stretch and comfort:
  It's soft, flexible and works equally well in body-hugging and looser garments.

• Weight vs warmth:
  Incredible warmth-to-weight ratio - perfect for gram hunters.

• Design freedom:
  Because Alpha doesn't require the same protective outer fabric as down, designers can combine it with more open, breathable fabrics - increasing comfort during activity.
