INTRODUCING: FREELIGHT POLARTEC® ALPHA™
THE ULTIMATE OUTDOOR LAYER. UP THE MOUNTAIN, ON THE TRAIL, IN THE SADDLE
Born four decades ago in the heart of the Swedish Mountains, Peak Performance is the authority on outdoor adventure clothing. It combines technical excellence and disruptive design.
For Spring/Summer ‘26, the Swedish brand introduces the latest addition to the Freelight Family, and a breakthrough in outdoor insulation: the Freelight Polartec® Alpha™ Hood (available for men and women). It is made from Polartec® Alpha™ knit fabric. The super-lightweight hooded jacket (just 200g) is temperature regulating, sweat wicking, fast drying, and super breathable. As a result, it keeps heat when you need it, and releases it when you don’t. This makes it the perfect companion for a range of stop-start alpine activities, from trail running to downhill skiing.
The Freelight Family is always evolving. The Freelight Polartec® Alpha™ Hood is unique in that it can be worn as a single layer. There is no need to keep adjusting clothing for changes in body heat or outdoor environment.
Just pure, lightweight, unbeatable performance, all day long. The ultimate outdoor layer.
FREELIGHT ALPHA® POLARTEC HOOD: THE BREAKDOWN
- A multi-activity hooded insulating jacket engineered to regulate heat, eliminate moisture, and dry in no time at all.
Made from POLARTEC® ALPHA™ KNIT FABRIC, this material uses lofted fibre technology and a mesh core to promote the retention of warm air, or enhanced airflow. This depends on the conditions.
POLARTEC® ALPHA™ KNIT has hydrophobic properties, allowing it to actively repel moisture, and dry quickly. It also fights moisture build-up, maintaining insulation in even damp conditions.
The Hood is cut with raglan sleeves, which allows for a greater range of movement. Its flatlock covering seams offer a frictionless wearing experience. The high neckline combats windchill, and the fitted hood is comfortable without being bulky.
The Freelight Polartec® Alpha™ Hood is super lightweight, just 200g (85gsm), and highly compressible, with no damage to insulation. Therefore, it is perfect for stuffing in a bag, or even a pocket.
The Hood features reflective zip-pullers and a zipped chest pocket for small items.
