What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I love the Alpha Zero because it bridges that gap between a softshell and a fleece-it's warm, stretchy, and sheds light weather. I use it as a midlayer for ski days or on its own for cool hikes. The slick-face fleece moves with me and looks clean enough to wear anywhere."For the adventurer who demands more from a midlayer, the Helly Hansen Alpha Zero Fleece Jacket blends the comfort of fleece with the resilience of a softshell. The slick-face fleece exterior offers light weather protection while maintaining stretch and breathability, making it ideal for dynamic pursuits in shifting conditions. Inside, the brushed fleece backing provides cozy warmth without adding bulk, keeping us comfortable from trail to summit. Thoughtful details enhance performance-flatlock seams prevent chafing under packs, a high collar and chin guard block wind, and zippered hand pockets secure small essentials. Built from recycled materials with a clean, technical design, the Alpha Zero Fleece is a versatile piece that excels as a midlayer or standalone jacket for active explorers.
