Thanks to its light weight and compact design, the Alpha Tactical is easy to fold up and carry in a rucksack or kit bag. This means you always have an extra layer of insulation to hand when the temperature drops.

Lightweight warmth with Grid Fleece

The Alpha Tactical Jacket is made from Grid Fleece, a lightweight and breathable fabric that retains heat without feeling unnecessarily heavy. As a result, the jacket provides excellent insulation in cooler conditions, whilst efficiently wicking away excess heat and moisture.

The mesh lining enhances comfort and ensures good ventilation, even during prolonged use or intensive activities.

Designed for tactical use

The Alpha Tactical is designed as a base layer that can be perfectly combined with a softshell or hardshell jacket. Of course, the fleece can also be worn on its own in mild weather conditions.

For added functionality, the jacket features two bicep pockets, ideal for small accessories that need to be easily accessible. The Velcro panels make it easy to attach name, unit or morale patches.

Weighing just 590 grams, the fleece remains comfortable even during prolonged use.
