WATER RESISTANCEUsing the latest and most advanced version of Polartec’s renowned Alpha insulation, by adding merino wool, the Alpha Merino Air jacket punches way above its weight in terms of warmth, breathability and performance. Alpha Wool is used as interior insulation on the sleeve, front and collar, while Pertex Quantum Air provides an ultralight wind and water resistant barrier to help trap heat while maintaining class-leading breathability. The back panel of the jacket is made from fleece-backed italian milled recycled polyester to aid in breathability and mobility.
Likely our most technical riding jacket ever, the Alpha Merino Air uses our proprietary 3D patterning and carefully engineered on-bike fit for a super streamlined fit and covering a wide range of temps and conditions.

FIT & SIZING
Sizing Guide
Our jerseys and bib shorts are intended to be form fit, providing compressive support, maximizing performance of the fabrics, and reducing fatigue and chafing. Due to the compressive nature of the fabrics, you will be able to fit into more than one size. Please use the charts below to help determine your optimum size:
- Find your weight along the top of the table.
- Look down the column to find your appropriate size.
- Each size has a height range based on weight.
- If you find that you are on the upper or lower end of height and weight for a given size, the garment will have more or less compression respectively.
- Use the Dimensions Details chart to further dial in your fit.
Still unsure or need help? No problem! Email us at service@velocio.cc. Remember that every piece is backed by our Signature Guarantee.

United StatesAlpha Merino Air Long Term Review
My Alpha Merino Air has seen heavy use all winter. Ride temps ranging from 22F to 65F. Road, gravel, and mountain biking. Short pre-morning social rides through dawn-dusk mixed surface deep mountain adventures. I really like the jacket, will keep using it on colder days through our Spring transition, and expect it to be at the core of my kit next winter. Positives! Amazing warmth to weight. Good rear pocket capacity. Simple since does what used to be 2 layers. Breathes and dries well. Fit and construction are first rate. Zipper generally (not in all situations) easy to adjust with mittened hand. Easy laundering w/ air dry. Follow-up item worthy of note! Great for road and gravel, but definitely not a mountain biking jacket brushing against trees and taking the occasional biff. The jacket’s fabric is not up to this kind of high abrasion use. Managed to make a hole at my left elbow, but awesome that Velocio patched it for free! Super customer support.

Greg W. United StatesTrue to the description
This jacket is definitely true to the product guides, and the recommended temp range of 25-45. Only a handful of rides so far, but when the temps reach the mid 40s, this can get hot on the climbs. But I have yet to get cold wearing this with just a sleeveless base layer. Wind blocking and comfort are great. I'm 6'2" 165lbs, size M fits well.

Chan S. United StatesPure magic, amazing jacket
Checks every box and even boxes I hadn't thought of :-) Lightweight. Luxuriously soft and comfortable. Warm enough to ride at tempo done to the teens F (with decent base). Breathable enough to work into the 40's without sweating. Attention to all the details--extended cuffs, raised fleece collar, accessible/expandable pockets. I've tried this out on several wintry rides and trading out base layers from a summer weight merino to Velocio's heavy merino base am perfectly fine wearing this well below freezing and in light precipitation. I doubt it would hold up well in steady light rain. What I really like most about this, other than the beautiful style and color, is that it covers such a wide range of temps that it's become my primary winter shell. I'd note that it is designed to breathe/vent, which means you'll get a light airflow--not enough to chill, but enough that if you're just ambling at low effort you might not get much thermal benefit. Anything zone 2 and up, though, and not only will you remain warm but it manages to avoid building up humidity or sweat inside. This goes down as one of the best cycling apparel purchases I've ever made!

Anonymous United StatesUp to Its Billing
Warm, light weight, and very nice cycling fit. Worn in 40 degrees, wind 20 mph and with a base layer, fleece jersey was comfortable without becoming soggy from sweat. Sleeves long enough to overlap gloves. Usually wear large (5’9”, 170 lbs), but had to return for an XL. Customer service was prompt and seamless. Very pleasantly surprised at warmth and light weight.
