High-performance mid-layer with a distinctly relaxed attitude
Polartec Alpha Direct makes you reconsider what synthetic fleece can do. At 85g/m², it's a medium-weight material with an open mesh construction that breathes exceptionally well, dodging the heat and moisture build-up that can dog lesser mid-layers. It also stays lofty and warm in damp conditions. Worn alone it’s a capable outer layer through shoulder season; layered under a shell, it’ll bump your insulation right up without bulk. The slouchy, streetwear-influenced fit and fluffy texture make it easy to live in, and best of all, it has thumb loops. Why don’t all sweaters have thumb loops?

- Sustainability through longevity - Snow Peak products are designed and built to last a lifetime. They submit all of their outdoor hard goods to the highest standards of engineering and testing to ensure long-lasting durability in even the most challenging outdoor conditions. If a product requires service, Snow Peak will repair or exchange it.
Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
