Karpos Alagna Plus Evo jacket

Jacket that’s perfect for both climbing and descending, with a comprehensive set of technical features providing wind protection, warmth, and breathability

A highly technical piece that brings together wind protection, warmth, and breathability. It took years for the research and development department to develop the Alagna Plus Evo Jacket, working closely with the best ski mountaineers. The result is a high-performance garment that’s perfect for the most demanding skiers but also for a day of ski touring to enjoy the winter landscape. This flexibility arises from the hybrid construction, where different fabrics are combined to achieve the best possible performance. Inserts in windproof fabric with DWR treatment are used on the front and on the upper part of the arms and back, to protect you from the strong winter wind on the ridge. The front also features 60-gram Polartec® Alpha insulation. A breathable thermal fabric on the back, on the hood, and on the lower part of the sleeves gives the jacket extraordinary breathability, which is essential when you’re working hard uphill.

Technologies

Polartec Alpha
Polartec® Alpha® is the latest evolution of synthetic insulation offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability in a "puffy" style garment. Alpha® creates insulating loft but does not require down proof fabrics, allowing a sandwich construction with mesh and breathable fabrics for performance that's not available in traditional insulation.

YKK Zippers
Karpos makes technical garments that are very durable, so we need to select the best components. For this reason we have chosen YKK®, the longest-lasting zippers in the world, for 90% of our garments.
