Men's Nalehko Alpha Hoody 60

Product detailed description

The Nalehko Alpha Hoody 60 men's sweatshirt is the definition of perfection. You'll be struggling to find an active insulation on the market that's more breathable, lighter, and more packable than Polartec® Alpha.

Amazing properties

Polartec® Alpha was originally developed for the uniforms of U.S. special forces, who required a highly breathable yet extremely warm material that could withstand moisture during both static and dynamic activities. The technology used thus allows the material to offer excellent thermal adaptability in changing conditions and during various phases of physical activity. Most manufacturers hide Polartec® Alpha under a lining, but we’ve made the entire sweatshirt out of Polartec® Alpha—it’s incredibly comfortable against the skin and handles moisture wicking far better than a lining. All available data speaks for itself.

Polartec Alpha is twice as breathable, a third more packable, and dries three times faster than most standard fleeces on the market.

Second skin

At Nalehko, we fell in love with this amazing material several years ago, which eventually led us to create our own collection of jackets and sweatshirts made from it. Last year, we launched our hybrid jacket, the Nalehko Alpha Aspiring, 

which quickly gained a large following of enthusiastic customers. The next logical step is a hoodie, which works great as a base layer or mid-layer when paired with a T-shirt.

Worn directly against the skin, it feels literally like a second skin. The material is so comfortable that once you put on the Alpha, you won’t want to take it off. A key feature of the hoodie is its versatility across a wide range of temperatures; despite its lightweight design, it can be considered a year-round hoodie. Of course, in the winter, it’s primarily designed for intense, dynamic activities. In the summer months, it works great as a base layer or a mid-layer over a T-shirt, suitable even for more static activities. The Alpha itself doesn’t act as a wind barrier, but when paired with a suitable windbreaker, you get a great functional set for versatile use.

Minimalism at first place

As is our custom, we focused primarily on a simple, clean design. The Alpha Hoody 60 is thus a symbol of minimalism. Don’t look for any zippers, pockets, or drawstrings here. As it turns out, none of that is necessary. The hoodie simply slips on over your head, and you immediately feel cozy and comfortable. If you get a little chilly, pull the simple hood over your head; thanks to the elastic, it fits snugly. The sleeves and bottom hem feature elastic trim, and the cut is designed to restrict movement as little as possible. When choosing the right size, always refer to the included size chart.

We also offer a women's version Nalehko Alpha Hoody 60. We have also recently added a heavier-weight sweatshirt to our product line Nalehko Alpha Hoody 120.

Please note that this is an extremely lightweight material, so it must be handled with care—this will ensure it lasts a long time.

We recommend using the following for washing all of our Alpha products: Nikwax - Basewash
