Materials & Care
Fabric Content
53% Polyamide, 47% PolyesterMade in IT
Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. Its important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. Youll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86F (30C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Dont do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.
FAQ
How do your jackets fit?
Our jackets are patterned in the riding position, with a tight fit across the chest and arms with a more forward position. This is intentional to reduce flapping and extra fabric across the chest while riding. When standing, the jacket will feel tight across the chest, shoulders and torso. The arm length might appear long as well. However, the intended fit is tailored for on-the-bike positioning where the shoulders and torso no longer feel tight and the extra arm length hits the wrists in the appropriate spot. Constructed without extra fabric to flap around - it should fit tight over your jersey (with enough room for a long sleeve and base layer), but shouldn’t appear baggy. We select fabrics that have some elasticity to allow for freedom of movement even with a tailored fit to accommodate some range of fit within each size.

Women's Fit Guide
Challenge the Season
It's dark. It's cold. It's time to ride.
The Alpha Zero Jacket combines a waterproof-breathable shell with integrated alpha insulation for our warmest jacket ever.
Alpine Inspired
Each winter a select group of people brave the most extreme conditions. These backcountry skiers and high-alpine mountaineers almost exclusively employ a sophisticated multi-piece layering system when facing the elements.
The Alpha Zero Jacket takes inspiration from these mountain explorers, incorporating highly technical Polartec layers into a single deep-winter jacket.
Sub Zero Insulation
Polartec Alpha Insulation adds high-loft adaptive knit technology that is incredibly lightweight.
Body mapped to the front and sleeves of the Alpha Zero Jacket, Alpha insulation expertly regulates heat on the coldest days with the hardest efforts.
Designed without PFAS
Forever chemicals don't need an introduction, they need an exit. From the DWR treatment to the waterproof-breathable membrane, the Alpha Zero Jacket is designed to eliminate PFAS.
Bio-Based Protection
The Alpha Zero Jacket uses Polartec's Power Shield Pro membrane to keep water and wind out while maintaining breathability.
Even more important — it uses Biolon nylon, a plant-based alternative that lowers the carbon footprint by 50% compared to virgin nylon. And of course, is designed to eliminate PFAS.
A Decade in the Making
Velocio's drop bar fit has been refined over a decade of testing, feedback, and revision. The result is a three-dimensional pattern with every stitch and fabric panel carefully positioned to be streamlined and quiet on the road without restricting movement.
In practice, the Alpha Zero Jacket is a complete layering system in one piece of kit. Combing Alpha insulation with Power Shield Pro eliminates bulk for the most refined winter riding jacket on the market.
Alpha Zero Vest

All the same ground-breaking technology, packaged in a vest for slightly warmer climates.
How to Wear
Technical details, better fabrics, environmentally friendly yarns — all that may be true, but when the rubber hits the road, what's the jacket actually for?
0ºF to 32ºF
For the coldest days of the year. Continue to log long winter miles through the darkest months.
Snow, Sleet, Rain, Wind
Didn't read the forecast? It doesn't matter. The jacket effectively thermoregulates through high-output efforts while fending off even the nastiest weather.
