Most insulated jackets are great – until you move. Then you’re a personal sauna.
Launched this week, Ridge Merino’s Alpha Wool Insulated Jacket ($275, men’s and women’s) solves the problem with a first-of-its-kind active insulator designed to keep you warm without overheating. It combines Polartec® Alpha Direct with Merino wool insulation that traps warmth while dumping excess heat and sweat, all wrapped in a Pertex Quantum Air shell that shrugs off wind and weather. And with Merino wool against your skin, you get the natural warmth and comfort of wool where it counts.
Why Merino wool? Sheep cracked performance apparel first. It regulates temperature, wicks moisture, stays warm when damp and fights odor, so you can wear it day after day without washing. The result? One jacket for the chairlift, the skin track, cold-morning runs, the treestand, the trailhead, the airport and school pickup. No costume changes.
