BUILT WITH THE TOUGHEST (AND LIGHTEST) MATERIAL ON EARTH - GRAPHENE -, THE MOST ADVANCED 3-LAYER JACKET RETURNS... SUPERCHARGED. 

The new Alpha Series jacket is here. The crown jewel of Graphene-X returns with a bunch of upgrades. Improved materiality, better hood adjustment, and an inner zipper to connect with the GRAnaREC mid-layer are only some of the new features of this beast. We also added internal zippers on the main pockets so you can reach the pockets of your mid-layer. Pockets that reach other pockets.

Six months is the production lead time for the new Alpha. Why? Because only the best of the best elements are used in its construction. From the best Graphene out there to the world's best YKK zippers.

Extreme abrasion resistance, fully waterproof, highly breathable, and extremely lightweight are only some of the features of the new Alpha. If you're looking for the best breathable waterproof jacket, look no further than the new Alpha Series.

    Unfailing durability thanks to Graphene

    Graphene (the strongest but lightest material on Earth) empowers the shell face of the new Alpha.

    We ran the Martindale Abrasion and Pilling test on the new Alpha Series jacket (a test designed to test how the fabric holds up after X amount of rubs that simulate wear), and after 100.000 rubs, the fabric was as good as new. As a reference, military-grade gear is required to withstand 20.000 rubs to be fit for duty.

    This makes the new Alpha Series a significantly more durable jacket, which means it will keep you looking good for longer and performing at your peak in all conditions.

    Fully waterproof and breathable

    Users of the previous Alpha techwear waterproof jacket reported how the jacket kept them bone dry while looking for a shelter in the middle of a storm after their boat moored. 

    Almost two years after that, the middle membrane that brings waterproofness and breathability to the jacket has improved its performance dramatically. You can just imagine how good this works now. 

    Connected layering

    The new Alpha Series 3-layer waterproof jacket features an internal zipper so you can connect your GRAnaREC middle layer and make them truly work as one heavy-duty jacket. Layering is probably one of the most important topics before heading on an adventure. 

    Factors like rain, cold, wind, and humidity can dramatically change the setting, and being ready is paramount. The GRAnaREC middle layer self-packs in its pocket, and it's a joy to bring along. Then, when conditions required, empowering the Alpha with its maximum insulation got easier and swifter than ever with this new inner connection zipper.

    Antibacterial shell face

    With Covid-19 we started caring more than ever about hygiene and protecting ourselves against external pathogens. Copper and silver are known for their antibacterial properties and have been widely used to empower goods. Less known is the fact that Graphene is antibacterial as well.

    By integrating Graphene in the shell face of the Alpha Series II jacket we are putting an extra barrier of protection between you and the world that could inactivate 98% of bacteria and kill over 90% of them even after being washed over 100 times.

    Pockets that reach pockets

    One of the biggest issues when layering down is losing access to the middle layer's storage space (pockets). The Alpha Series II jacket solves this problem by adding internal zippers to the front main pockets. 

    This highly durable jacket is designed for utility. With this, when using your middle layer, you'll also have full access to their main pockets without the need to open or remove your Alpha Series II jacket.

    Think about this again: Pockets designed to reach other pockets. How cool is that?

    Superlative thermal distribution

    Graphene radiates Far Infrared Energy (FIR) in almost identical waves as the human body. This leads to an incredibly efficient heat management. We have tested the Alpha Series II jacket accompanied with just a t-shirt in temperatures of 5 Celsius (41 Fahrenheit) and felt comfortable. Humidity, wind and even your own metabolism can change your comfort levels so consider using a mid-layer like the GRAnaREC if your adventure takes you to extremely cold settings.

    Extra internal storage

    We got a bunch of emails asking us to include an inner pocket in the new version of the Alpha. As in every challenge we face we choose the hard route and making this extra pocket had to be in line with the design and performance with which we engineer the rest of the jacket. It had to be fully seam taped and able to carry any mobile phone on the market (except for you guys who use iPads as phones!).

    Double pit zippers

    Pit zippers are probably one of the least understood features and at the same time one of the most handy on high performance apparel. Sometimes the going gets extremely tough and no fabric can offer the level of breathability we need to release heat.

    Pit zippers are made for those occasions, and the new Alpha not only has them, but we also made them with double zippers so you can control exactly the amount of opening you want and the position of this opening.

    • What does “3-layer jacket” means?
    • The Alpha Series II jacket is considered a 3-layer jacket. This is because even though you won’t be able to feel it, the fabric consists of three elements sandwiched together in a thermo-mechanic process. The one closer to your body is the lining, the one in the middle is the membrane which makes of this jacket waterproof and the third one is the shell face of the jacket.

    • What is considered a good waterproof jacket?
    • There is no definitive answer to this question as different people have different preferences. Nevertheless, it’s important to understand that there’s two elements that always need to be balanced: waterproofness and breathability. A high-performance fabric like the one used in this jacket offers a perfect balance between these two elements, keeping you dry even in the harshest conditions while also allowing the heat of your body to wick away.

    • What is the best jacket material?
    • There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this specific question. Different people have different preferences when it comes to the material of their jackets. Some people prefer techwear waterproof jackets made of synthetic materials because they are lightweight and dry quickly.

      Others prefer jackets made of natural materials such as cotton or wool because they are more breathable. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which type of jacket material is best for them.

    Great jacket

    I requested an exchange from XS to S size and it took about 2-3 weeks. But this jacket is worth it. Alpha jacket and GRAnaREC are my new favorites.

    Alpha Series II Jacket

    Excellent product, once you have it you forget about your other coats (which can be a bit of a downside but is also quite convenient ;).
