Helikon-Tex ALPHA TACTICAL Jacket Grid Fleece Coyote

The Helikon-Tex Alpha Tactical Jacket Grid Fleece Coyote is a versatile and lightweight tactical fleece designed as an insulating mid-layer within the Urban Tactical Line®. This improved version of the original Alpha Jacket features additional Velcro panels for patches, two practical bicep pockets and a functional design suitable for both tactical use and everyday wear.

The fleece can be worn on its own or combined with a softshell or hardshell for extra protection in cold weather. Thanks to its compact design, the jacket is easy to fold up and carry in a rucksack or kit bag.

Lightweight warmth and optimal comfort

The Alpha Tactical is made from Grid Fleece with a fabric weight of 310 g/m². This material offers an excellent balance between warmth, breathability and moisture management. Excess body heat and perspiration are efficiently wicked away, whilst the fleece provides sufficient insulation in cold conditions.

The mesh lining, made from 100% polyester, enhances comfort and provides extra ventilation. In addition, the back of the jacket is slightly longer to better protect the lower back from wind and cold.

Practical design for tactical use

The Alpha Tactical features five YKK zipped pockets for the secure storage of equipment. Two hip pockets provide space for everyday essentials, whilst the chest pocket has an opening for a headset or earphone cable. The two shoulder pockets are easily accessible and feature Velcro panels for name, unit or morale patches.

In addition, the jacket features reinforced shoulders and elbows, which helps to reduce wear and tear on these high-stress areas. The full-length zip makes it easy to adjust the temperature during various activities.

With a reference weight of approximately 655 grams (size L), the Alpha Tactical remains comfortable during prolonged use.
