New “naked” Polartec alpha jacket from beyond clothing

I know there is interest in these type of pieces; just saw this one. It also has the full zip and hood that folks seems to be asking for, but not the shell face of the ambient. Also looks like heavier insulation than the ambient.

Great jacket - just bought it for backcountry skiing (don't worry also got green for hunting).

Insulation works like gangbusters - I have quite a few non-down mid-layers and this is the warmest for the size/weight. little tight in the shoulders, so size up if you don't want the sleeves to ride up when moving your arms.

Other than that, has stash pockets on the inside for gloves, and is SUPER breathable. If you wear it alone, pray you don't encounter wind chill.

I got one while it was on sale. Great jacket for its intended use. Definitely want a windshell handy. Very comfortable, fits well, breathes well, warm. I like it for sure.
