Inspired by alpine climbing and ski mountaineering, the Alpha Long Sleeve is designed as a mid-layer piece to extend the temperature range of our jackets. Or simply wear it over a jersey as a lightweight insulating layer. Polartec’s Alpha Direct insulation is placed in strategic areas to maximize warmth without weight. The Alpha creates airspace on all leading panels (sleeves, chest, collar) to trap warm air. This construction allows for exceptional breathability and a quick dry layer through a wide range of temps and dynamic and highly aerobic riding.
The sides, back, and lower sleeve are made from our Merino 210 - a merino fleece-backed fabric that’s exceptionally soft, thermoregulating, and abrasion resistant thanks to the polyester face. A half zip keeps bulk and weight to a minimum and a slim silhouette allows enough room for a base layer, while still fitting trim under the Ultralight Rain or Signature Softshell jackets. Three back pockets promise real storage capacity for long base miles.
Recommended as an easily packable, quickly deployed cold-weather layer over our base layers and under our jackets. Wearing the Alpha Long Sleeve adds warmth to an any riding kit.

What a fantastic jersey. I've been wearing this under the trail anorak for fat biking and gravel riding this fall and winter and absolutely love it. It's shockingly warm compared to my Concept Merino jersey and thinner than I expected which makes it fabulous for layering. The only thing that would improve it a little for me would be if it were just a tough longer as it rides up a bit.
I was and continue to be delighted with the Alpha Long Sleeve mid-layer. Upon trying it on, I immediately loved its feel and fit. Also the Fire Red color is stellar. (Fire Red to my eyes is actually more of a vibrant redish orange.) Thus far I have paired it with the Signature Softshell Jacket and am comfortable with temperatures as low as "feels like" mid-20º F. Tried to purchase another one this time in Navy but my size was sold out.
I LOVE it. Amazing warmth for the weight, super versatile. Can be worn solo with a light base layer or under the Alpha Merino Air Jacket for colder temps. Excellent for riding, running and xc skiing. Ordered a second one : ) as I love to lounge in one after a cold day outside riding or skiing. Great fit and sleeve length is perfect. Would be great to have a single color version w/o pockets or gripper for casual wear.
