The Alpha™ Hoodie features a unisex design but fits closer to standard men's sizing. For a more tailored fit, women may prefer to size down. If you're unsure, please contact our team for assistance.

The Burgeon Alpha™ Direct 120 Hoodie is a lightweight insulation layer designed for dynamic outdoor adventures. Featuring Polartec®'s Alpha™ Direct 120 insulation—a high-loft, hydrophobic material with an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio—this hoodie keeps you warm while maintaining unparalleled breathability during active pursuits. Its packable design makes it a must-have for backpacking and day hikes in cooler weather.

Thanks to its high breathability, this hoodie excels at temperature regulation during movement but should be paired with a shell, like the Tuckerman, for warmth in non-moving conditions or protection against rain and wind. The Alpha™ 120 Hoodie is built to perform as part of your layering system, ensuring comfort across a wide range of conditions.

Alpha™ Direct 120 is a heavier version of Polartec®'s Alpha™ Direct insulation (Polartec® has four weights, 60, 90, 120, 190).
