The Helikon-Tex Alpha Tactical Grid Fleece is an advanced version of the original Alpha jacket and is designed as an updated midlayer for demanding use. Part of the Urban Tactical Line® series, the fleece works great under both softshell and hardshell shells, but is equally comfortable and cool to wear as an outer jacket. The Grid fleece material forms a characteristic grid structure, where thicker raised areas provide warmth and thinner gaps improve breathability and moisture transfer. The lightweight and highly packable structure makes the jacket easy to carry and provides quick additional warmth in cold conditions. The jacket has a high stand-up collar, a YKK zipper with chin guard, two zippered lower pockets, a chest pocket with a cord opening and two sleeve pockets with velcro panels for personalization. The cut is Regular Fit, and the back is slightly extended for better protection.

Size chart and measuring instructions for Helikon-Tex jackets
We want to ensure that the garment you purchase fits you perfectly and is suitable for its intended use. Please take a moment to review the measurement instructions below and check the corresponding size chart to avoid measurement errors.
How to measure correctly:
Breast
Close the jacket's zipper and place it on a flat surface. Measure the width of the jacket from the left edge to the right edge, below the sleeves.
Belly
Close the jacket's zipper and place it on a flat surface. Measure the width of the jacket from the left edge to the right edge at the waistline. Check that it fits within the chest measurements of the size you have chosen.
Sleeve length
Put on a jacket that fits you. Measure your arm, relaxed at your side, from the shoulder seam along the arm to where you want the sleeve to end. We recommend that the sleeve should reach the base of your thumb (wrist).
Overall jacket length (back)
Measure the length of the back of the jacket from the bottom of the collar to the hem.
