Falketind Alpha90 Insulated Zip Hooded Jacket - Men's

A wind resistant and breathable hybrid insulation/mid layer.

This breathable insulation jacket (352g M/L) is made for mountaineering with a mid to high-intensity level. It works great for trail running, ski touring and all kinds of outdoor activities where breathability and warmth when moving is needed.

We use a light nylon stretch as the face fabric because it provides good breathability and wind protection. We use Polartec® Alpha® insulation because we believe it is the world-leading breathable insulation and do not need a lining on the inside. In the hood, part of the sleeve and sides we use Polartec® Power Grid fleece because of its stretch, warmth to weight and durability.

The face fabric is a 20D+30D x 20D stretch 55% recycled nylon/ 37% nylon/ 8% polyurethane fabric (62 g/m2). The Polartec® Alpha® insulation is a 100% recycled polyester (95 g/m2). The Polartec® Power Grid fleece is a 85% recycled polyester/ 15% elastane fabric (166 g/m2) fabric. Key features include: One chest pocket, two hand pockets, a close fitting hood, hand gaiters.

Materials:
• Polartec® Power Grid®: The ability to maximize base efficiency through enhanced performance benefits is central to the design of Polartec® Power Grid™ fabric. By constructing a symmetrical grid pattern Polartec were able to not only increase thermal warmth and mechanical wicking capabilities, but actually reduce the overall fabric mass and weight. Benefits of products using the Polartec® Power Grid® are fast drying, great breathability, lightweight and easy care.
• Thermo: “Thermo” is our general term for any synthetic insulation. It gives great thermal insulation to help the body to maintain its temperature, minimizing energy loss. We use synthetic insulation as an alternative to down, as it keeps its functionality even in wet conditions.
• While moisture is the weak point of down, synthetic insulation shows its strength during sweat-inducing activities, when being exposed to rain or under continuous humid conditions. Synthetic insulation provides a very good warmth-to-weightratio and is easy to maintain.
• The number behind Thermo refers to the weight in gr/sqm of the insulation used in the product. The suppliers of our synthetic insulation are Primaloft and Pinneco.
• Recycled Fibers: More than 50% of synthetic fibers in this product is recycled.
• Oeko-Tex Certified Fabric:Oeko-Tex® is a worldwide independent test- and certification system. They ensure that use of chemicals is aligned or exceeds national and international rules and standards.
• PFC Free DWR:The repellent used on this product is free of fluor carbons. (DWR = Durable Water Repellent)
