Ornot’s new Alpha Sweater ($148) is 50% lighter and more compressible than traditional fleece. Made in the USA with deadstock Polartec Alpha Direct active insulation, this sweater is part of the “New” Ornot Special Projects Collection, which officially “re” launched…
The Alpha Sweater is purpose-built for stop-and-go efforts. The lofted fibers sit on a super-breathable mesh core, in an attempt to keep you warm without weighing you down.
Originally adopted by thru-hikers, Alpha Direct is so lightweight it almost feels like magic. It wicks moisture, dries quickly, and retains its insulating properties even when damp. Built for cycling, hiking, bikepacking, fashion shows, and bonding with your pet. It keeps you warm while layering comfortably under other pieces, and pairs easily with a wind- or rainshell for full protection from the elements.
