Strafe Alpha Direct Men's Vest

The lightweight core warmer that concentrates extra warmth right where you need it, the Strafe Alpha Direct Men's Vest is built to pair with the Insulator Short for a complete cold weather suite against bitter days. Or spring ones where you need more than a baselayer under your shell, but less than a jacket. Terrific versatility in this piece, it is lightweight and air-permeable, making it a great addition to your cold weather aerobic wardrobe as well as your alpine ski kit, one of those pieces of gear you think you’re picking up to fill one need, only to discover it has so many more uses you hadn’t paused to consider. With a 2-way stretch fabric and 90 grams of insulation this has movement and warmth without bulk, allowing it to slide under your midlayer on a bitter day, or your shirt jacket when you need something more than a light layer for a walk in the woods. Toss this in your permanent gear bag, you’ll find it just right for early mornings on the lake, dawn at the campsite, and keeping the chill off at the summit, all in a nicely packable vest.
