Rab Alpha Direct Jacket - Men's

Product Info for Rab Alpha Direct Jacket - Men's

Our new Alpha Direct Jacket is truly defined by our decades of experience in mountain environments.

During an alpine adventure every kind of condition can be experienced, from a warm walk or ski to the base of a route to shivering it out on a freezing belay. In these varied conditions the Alpha Direct balances moisture control and comfort when on the move with warmth and protection from the elements when static.

Designed to be worn as an outer or mid-layer depending on the temperature, this jacket adds exceptional versatility to your layering system. A tough and reliable Pertex Quantum outer fabric secures the insulation and minimises wear. Key tech features include an under-helmet hood, two-way zipper and stretch fleece cuffs.

I've owned a lot of jackets

by Micah, from NC, United States Updated on November 5, 2021

I have and still own a lot of jackets. This jacket is probably one of my favorite jackets of all of them. It is water resistant and wind resistant It has a very warm soft inner lining material. This jacket makes a great mid to outer layer. I can wear it to temps down in the teens with a good midlayer under it. It does a have a snug fit so I can't wear a big sweater undern...

Great jacket. Terrible front zipper.

by Brian Trudeau, Verified Owner from ID, United States Updated on April 2, 2021

I love everything about this jacket except the zipper. It’s fits me perfectly, and the quality is top notch. However, the left handed zipper is problematic. It could be because it is left-handed, and I am not accustomed to that. That said, it is not smooth and I have to consciously look down to make sure that it is in place before I pull it up.

Pros:

None

Cons:

A great all-around climbing jacket

by Sharpie, Verified Owner from CO, United States Updated on December 28, 2020

The insulation wicks moisture very well, and is also surprisingly warm for its light weight. The jacket is quite slim-fitting, allowing it to be worn as a mid- or outer-layer. The sleeves are quite long, so a good jacket for someone with a high ape index b...

Very versatile

by jd, from CO, United States Updated on October 12, 2017

Rab isn't overselling this jackets versatility. I've used it in temps from 30 to 65 so far and could go lower. It hasn't clammed up at all despite plenty of strenuous hiking in the Rockies. The outer has shed significant rain and plenty of wind. The special sauce is definitely the insulation though. Very soft. Dries very quickly. As the temp continues to fall, i'll still be usi...
