Through years of testing & feedback in the harshest winter conditions, we created a two-piece system comprised of jacket and mid-layer, dubbed Alpha System. This highly versatile combination covers an unmatched temperature and weather range, critical to riding here in New England, where summer rain showers in the 80’s can dip to -15F snow drifts in the dead of winter. We sought to minimize the number of pieces in our closet and take the guesswork out of finding the ideal combination for the changing seasons with this new dynamic layering system. Inspired by alpine climbing and ski mountaineering, the Alpha System is designed to be as light as possible with high breathability and warmth-to-weight for dynamic changes in aerobic activity, akin to winter cycling.
