Constructed from two advanced fleece fabrics, the Lyngen Alpha90 integrates Polartec® Alpha® and warm1 technologies for superior functionality. The upper body and arms are made with Polartec® Alpha® 90 (90 g/m2), a highly open-knit, recycled polyester fabric known for its exceptional warmth and breathability. This fabric continuously releases excess body heat and maintains an even temperature during activity, whether you are in high-output or recovery phases.
The lower torso and underarms feature warm1 fabric, a 103 g/m2 material composed of 94% recycled polyester and 6% elastane. This bi-component knit construction excels in moisture management, pulling sweat away from the skin and facilitating rapid evaporation. This combination of fabrics creates a highly efficient moisture-wicking system and makes the jacket ideal as a baselayer.
Key Features:
- Weight: 180 grams (size L) – exceptionally lightweight for ease of movement and minimal bulk.
- Small chest pocket – for secure storage of essential items.
- Elastic cuffs with integrated Hand Gaiter™ – designed to provide additional coverage and keep sleeves in place.
- High collar – for added comfort and protection against the elements.
- Articulated elbows – for enhanced mobility and comfort during alpine movements.
- Asymmetric longer back cut – ensures additional coverage and protection.
- Elastic closure around wrists – for a secure fit and to prevent drafts.
The jacket’s technical fit includes a Y-cut and articulated arms, providing optimal mobility and accommodating alpine movements.
Performance Metrics:
- Windproofness: 1/6 - The fabric does not provide wind protection, suitable for less exposed conditions.
- Insulation: 3/6 - Provides adequate insulation for medium-intensity winter activities and low-intensity activities in temperatures ranging from 0 to 10°C. When worn with a Gore-Tex outer layer, it maintains comfort from -5 to 5°C during medium-intensity activities. The insulation level increases by approximately 10°C during breaks due to reduced activity.
- Breathability: 6/6 - Designed for maximum breathability, ideal for high-intensity activities and variable conditions.
- Lightweight: 6/6 - Among the lightest in its category, this jacket is engineered for minimal weight and maximum performance.
- Moisture Management: 6/6 - Exceptional at transporting moisture, the fabric dries rapidly when hung or worn, making it perfect for high-intensity activities and warm days.
- Warmth-to-Weight Ratio: 5/6 - Delivers impressive warmth relative to its weight, making it a top choice for those seeking efficiency and performance.
