Alpine Gore-Tex 3L Jacket
€650 on peakperformance.com
Stacked with practical features yet down-to-earth in its design, the Alpine 3L jacket has everything you need for off-piste adventures. Its 3-layer Gore-Tex C-KNIT fabric is as soft and comfortable as it is robust and durable, keeping you protected from both water and wind. There’s a Gore-Text stretch panel on the back for additional freedom of movement, and the chest radio pocket—a beloved feature of the original Alpine jacket—makes a triumphant return.
