What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This has quickly become my go-to midlayer. It's warm without overheating, and the Polartec Alpha Direct does a great job at regulating temperature when I'm moving hard. I like the thumbholes for keeping sleeves in place, and the fit layers perfectly under a shell. It's technical, but honestly, I wear it off the mountain too."The Bowls Alpha 1/2-Zip Sweatshirt is built for active warmth on cold days. Made from 100% recycled polyester, this technical pullover is powered by Polartec(R) Alpha Direct(TM) insulation, delivering impressive breathability and warmth without bulk. It actively regulates heat and wicks moisture, keeping us comfortable whether we're charging uphill, layering for resort days, or wearing it casually around town. Thoughtful details round it out as a reliable midlayer: thumbholes keep sleeves secure, branded stretch binding adds flexibility at the cuffs and hem, and a mid-height collar holds in warmth. Reinforced overlock stitching improves durability, ensuring the sweatshirt stands up to repeated use. Lightweight, packable, and performance-driven, the Bowls Alpha Half Zip is designed for backcountry adventure but versatile enough for everyday wear.
