"Polartec Alpha insulation is one of the modern marvels in the apparel industry. Called an active insulation, the airy material provides surprising warmth while staying highly breathable, quick drying, compressible, lightweight, and surprisingly durable. It's no surprise then that the material is included on many of our staff's favorite cold-weather pieces. Now, Ornot is adding Alpha insulation to two new pieces (and one updated piece) to keep your hands, feet, and core nice and toasty."
"The Alpha Gloves ($85) are designed for winter cycling conditions. The Polartec Alpha insulation relies on "an air-exchange system" that manages moisture while maintaining warmth. The gloves include pre-shaped fingers for brake and gear operation, palm padding for handlebar comfort, and wind and water-resistant exterior fabric. Additional features include conductive fingertips for touchscreen use and reflective graphics for visibility. The lightweight, compressible design aims to provide thermal protection without restricting hand movement during extended rides in cold weather conditions."
"For your feet, the Alpha Shoe Covers ($95) feature Polartec Alpha insulation that maintains warmth even when wet. They also include wind and water-resistant exterior fabric with a waterproof lateral zipper. The shoe covers incorporate several practical elements, including Velcro closure on the underside (which is said to be great for gravel), reflective graphics for visibility, and reinforced toe and heel areas for durability. A pull tab allows for quick removal after rides."
Polartec Alpha is an active insulation that delivers warmth while remaining highly breathable, quick-drying, compressible, lightweight, and durable. Ornot applied Alpha insulation to three cycling items: gloves, shoe covers, and an updated vest colorway. The Alpha Gloves provide moisture management via an air-exchange system, pre-shaped fingers, palm padding, wind- and water-resistant exterior, conductive fingertips, and reflective graphics for visibility. The Alpha Shoe Covers offer insulation that retains warmth when wet, a waterproof lateral zipper, Velcro underside closure, reinforced toe and heel areas, reflective graphics, and a pull tab for easy removal. The vest retains Alpha insulation for core warmth.
