The Falketind Alpha120 Zip Hood is Norrona’s most breathable, quick-drying midlayer — engineered for high-output pursuits where temperature control and mobility are everything. Originally designed for mountaineering, it thrives anywhere you move fast and work hard — from ski touring to trail running to brisk alpine mornings.

At its core is Polartec® Alpha® 120, a world-leading active insulation that regulates warmth by continuously releasing excess body heat. This recycled, lightweight insulation delivers an optimal balance of warmth and breathability without bulk, keeping you dry and comfortable across changing conditions.

To enhance movement and airflow where you need it most, Norrona integrates Polartec® Power Grid™ panels under the arms, down the sides, and inside the hood. This stretch grid fabric improves moisture wicking, increases range of motion, and reduces overall weight — so you can push your pace without overheating or restriction.

Designed with Norrona’s hallmark precision, the Falketind Alpha120 features a technical, articulated fit, asymmetric longer back, and low-profile seams that layer smoothly under shells or packs. Details like hand gaiters, zippered hand and chest pockets, and a close-fitting hood add warmth and function without extra weight.

Light, packable, and impressively breathable, this midlayer is built for mountain athletes who don’t slow down when the weather turns.
