Light Alpha Tights - Black

Made from Polartec Alpha Direct, the Light Alpha Tights are ultralight, breathable, and built for versatility. This active insulation layer provides reliable warmth even in cold or inactive moments. Worn under long pants, they help retain heat in chilly conditions and thanks to their quick drying nature, they stay warm even when wet. Lighter than down pants, they also make excellent sleepwear at camp.

Polartec Alpha Direct was originally developed for the US military as an insulated fill alternative, it has taken off in popularity with ultralight hikers as a standalone fleece replacement. By placing patented low-density fibres between air permeable woven layers Polartec® created a more efficient fabric for regulating warmth and transferring moisture. This advancement increases thermal adaptability in changing conditions and different phases of physical activity. Alpha is also hydrophobic, so it won't absorb moisture even if you start to sweat. Alpha is certified Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX®.
