The Falketind Alpha120 Zip Hood is that rare mid layer you’ll want for everything. Light, soft, and surprisingly warm, it’s built with Polartec® Alpha® 120 insulation — a breathable fabric designed to regulate your body temp as you move. That means you’ll stay cozy when you’re standing still, but won’t overheat when you’re climbing a ridge, skinning uphill, or pushing pace on a trail.
To dial in comfort even more, Norrona adds Polartec® Power Grid™ stretch panels under the arms, down the sides, and in the hood. These cut bulk, boost mobility, and wick sweat faster in the spots that usually run hot. The result? A layer that feels tailored to active days outside, whether you’re layering under a shell in winter or tossing it on solo during shoulder season hikes.
Little touches make it even better: zippered hand pockets sit high enough to stay clear of a hipbelt or harness, a chest pocket keeps small essentials close, and integrated hand gaiters with thumb holes add comfort when temps drop. The close-fit hood is lightweight and snug enough to wear under a helmet, while an asymmetric drop-tail hem gives you extra coverage where you need it most. At just 280 grams (size L), it’s light enough to pack everywhere but substantial enough to live in.
