RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS
Cool to cold, primarily dry conditions when light weight and breathabiliy are the priority.
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.
"Velocio's Alpha Merino Air Jacket might just be the best winter jacket we have tried."

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 Statesremarkable jacket, one small thing...
Really impressed with this jacket over a surprisingly wide range of temperatures. Fit is accommodating, but still feels like a jersey. My one disappointment is the lack of a small, secure zippered pocket like you find on Velocio jerseys. It's a minor thing, but actually makes a real difference for me. Still giving 5 stars because the jacket is so exceptional otherwise.

United StatesAmazing Jacket
This jacket is amazing! I have only used it once but can immediately tell it will be my go to jacket for winter riding. I used it in 40 degree temps with the 210 baselayer and was perfectly comfortable. I think I could easily ride in the low-30s with this setup. It breathes well and the fit is perfect. The Pertex Quantum outer layer should provide some protection from light rain, but I haven’t tested this out yet. I love the alpha merino wool inner layer in the front to protect you from the wind and it is super comfortable around the collar. The back is a fleece layer. I am 5’8 with 38 inch chest and went with a medium which the size chart recommended. I also have a Signature jacket in the small size which is a little tight for me.

United StatesWarm lil' thing
Love this jacket so far. Very lightweight when unboxing and worried it might not be as warm as i'd hoped. Ridden with it this past month in 5-32 degree ranges with the local college road team on base rides and so impressed with its warmth. The Alpha Wool is for real. If its 20-32 I'll run a normal sleeveless jersey under the jacket for the extra pockets and its all I need. The jacket is too warm for 45+ in my book. Back pockets are deep and sweetly stretchy for easy in and out action. The jacket fits good on the bike and is built to fit for that more than walking around, so feels a lil weird off the bike. My best winter riding jacket ever and soooo much better than all those heavy, thick winter thermal jackets of my past seasons.

United StatesPretty Much Perfect
Really a nice jacket, I've worn it about 6 times in the last few weeks. I'm not sure how warm it would be under 40 degrees without a very heavy base layer, but for the 40's to low 50's it is now my go to jacket. The visibility of the Fire Red (orange actually) is greatly appreciated.

United StatesBest Winter Jacket I’ve Tried
I’ve used this jacket now in temps (F) ranging from the mid 40s to around 22, and it’s performed very well. I’ve yet to be too hot or too cold. The combination of a windproof front and a breathable back works great, and the fleece is cozy and warm. Also noteworthy is the well designed collar—high, wind proof and fleece lined. The zipper is operable one handed, even with “lobster” type gloves, another welcome feature. I’ve noted that it runs small (I’d say slightly small) because going by the Velocio fit guide I would take a medium. The large is snug at the waist for me (165 lbs, 5’10”) and there’s just room enough for a heavy merino LS jersey beneath it, although so far, even in the low 20s a light LS base layer is all I’ve needed. It’s very lightweight, which is great, but I do have some concerns regarding the long term durability of the face fabric.
