Men's Alpha Direct 90

【Store Manager's Comments】

This is the Alpha Direct 90 version of LightHeart Gear's popular Micro Grid Fleece Hoody from North Carolina. Made with highly versatile 90-weight fabric, it can be worn year-round. While it offers less stretch and durability than microgrid fleece, it has a clear advantage in breathability and lightness. As active insulation, you can keep it on throughout your activity.

It is ultra-lightweight, making it suitable for year-round use: as a cold-weather layer for high-altitude hiking and camping in summer, or as a mid-layer in winter. The turtleneck hood can be tightened with the drawcord to increase warmth around the neck, and when pulled over the head, it can be worn like a balaclava.

It also features raglan sleeves (sleeves with seams running from the neckline to the armpits), which are common in sportswear, making it easy to move your shoulders and arms. It is also a major plus that you can wear it without worrying about shoulder width.

Fit: 170 cm, 68 kg male, size S

Size S is a perfect fit. Size M also fits comfortably, but the sleeve and body lengths are slightly longer. Since it is less stretchy than fleece, those who prefer a relaxed fit can opt for size M.
