Peak Performance Freelight Polartec Alpha Insulated Hood Jacket - Black - Men's M

On a crisp alpine morning, a mountaineer zips up the Freelight Hood Jacket before a long approach. The Polartec® Alpha® insulation breathes through the climb, and the Pertex® Quantum shell shrugs off wind and light snow. At the summit, the jacket packs down small into a pack, ready for the descent.

Why choose it

The Freelight Hood Jacket balances warmth, breathability, and wind resistance for high-output activities.

• Mountaineering and alpine climbing
• Everyday outdoor wear in cool, windy conditions

Good to know

This jacket uses recycled materials in both shell and lining, reducing environmental impact. The regular fit allows layering over a base layer or light midlayer. For care, machine wash cold and tumble dry low; do not use fabric softener to maintain DWR performance.
