What is the L.I.M Alpha Vest?
It's an ultra-lightweight, super techy windproof vest designed to provide the perfect amount of insulation so you don't overheat when moving fast in cold conditions. It uses Gore-Tex Infinium™ Windstopper and Polartec® Alpha® technology to create the perfect balance of warmth, breathability and protection.
What is it made from?
As mentioned, this vest is constructed from Gore-Tex Infinium™ Windstopper® and lightly insulated with durable Polartec® Alpha®.
Both of the materials used are bluesign® approved, ensuring they're safe for the consumer, environment and workers involved in making them.
Insulation: Polartec® Alpha® is an active synthetic insulation developed for consistent warmth and optimum breathability. It was originally invented for the U.S Special Forces, so you know it works! It uses air exchange technology for sustained comfort without adding excessive bulk that can easily weigh you down on mountain missions. Synthetic insulation is also beneficial over down in wet weather, as it doesn't lose its loft or warmth once it becomes damp - perfect for the unpredictable UK conditions!
Outer: Gore-Tex® Infinium™ Windstopper provides effective weather protection without compromising weight or breathability. As you may have guessed, this material is totally windproof, ensuring you won't catch that nasty chill when taking a pit stop or reaching the summit. It's also highly breathable to keep you comfortable even when working up a sweat and is water-resistant to encourage light rain and snow to bead away.
What are its features?
The main feature of this windproof vest is its clever body-mapped construction, which uses Gore-Tex Infinium™ Windstopper® in key areas without compromising breathability or freedom of movement.
Ultra-lightweight and highly packable, it can easily be stored in your running vest or backpack to pop on when the temperature drops or the winds pick up.
A simple front zip closure, elasticated armholes and bottom hem provide a secure fit for moving fast. Whilst a single zippered chest pocket offers space to keep energy gels or trail snacks close to hand. The vest is finished with reflective detailing to help improve your visibility to others in low light conditions and at night.
