Rab Alpha Flash Women's Sweatshirt

Product detailed description

The Rab Alpha Flash women's sweatshirt is a modern take on the popular, now-discontinued Alpha Flux, making it ideal if you're looking for the miracle fabric Polartec Alpha, but want to put together your own layers. This is a standalone, hoodless insulating mid-layer. The sweatshirt is as soft as a T-shirt, making it comfortable to wear all the time.

On the sides, under the arms, and on the inside of the sleeves, the Alpha Flash also features thin Thermic fleece—there’s no need for a super-warm layer under the arms, where you’re already sweating anyway. And you’ll learn just how miraculous Polartec Alpha is from Petr’s review, in which he set out on the Appalachian Trail at the end of winter 2018.
