We were searching for new ski jacket for our son. He is 6’3”, just got new skis over the summer and looking to upgrade his old gear. First day on the slopes today in the North East. Got the following text from the mountain.
Jacket was great today. Felt nice and warm on the inside and soft on the outside. Waterproof and flexibility features were definitely valid. Love the gift thank you
So sounds like it is living up the the elements.
Thank you
I purchased the alpha tech zip up hoodie and upon delivery there was a slight defect however the alpha tech customer service team gave me a prompt solution to my issue and have earned a lifetime customer out of me. I will definitely purchase more alpha tech products in the future and a big shout out to Nick from customer support!
High quality, very comfortable
This thing is super warm and thin. It feels great and does an amazing job at shedding water.
Honestly the thing is great. The fit is on point. The stretchy materials make it comfy and easy to throw your shoulders around. Seems really well made, time will tell. It’s good giving your $$ to the little guy you know? Hope to see more from this company.
It’s great to have a windproof and waterproof hoodie that’s so comfortable! It has everything: sleeves with thumb holes, pockets everywhere, pass pocket on the sleeve, and easy to vent by just unzipping the whole thing. The only additions that would make it perfect would be a built-in balaclava or face mask in the hood and a button-up zipper cover flap in front. One thing that was bothersome but no big deal was that the zippers got stuck easily, unless you line it up and clear the path first, and took some strength to zip it up. It might be that it needs to be broken in.
I am 5’8” and 160 pounds. The medium was enormous. The small fits just right. It’s the end of the season and look forward to to skiing in it next year
Top quality snowboarding hoodie. Never had anything like it. The hoodie is very well made top quality. It is amazing.
Besides being comfy, it has every pocket you could wish for. Keeps you warm and dry, and the colors are modern and updated. Oversized fit to move with you on the mountain, so stick with your regular size to enjoy it. Also bought the zip up for my son since the hoodie was sold out. Both are perfect.
Very warm jacket, my only regret is that the hood design doesnt allow for the front to zip up higher. I like to zip my ski jackets up over my chin
Exactly what you told me it would be! Hoody that’s warmer than any jacket I’ve ever owned!
Ordered this and love it. It was very warm and kept me dry all day.
Our winter wear is very comfortable. Kept us warm in 32 degree weather but we have not tried them in cold temps yet.
The product was as advertised- very soft, flexible and Warm , I had it out in 9 to 3 degree weather with a small under layer that came up to cover my neck . The neck area will need additional protection since its like a hoodie . Only negative is I felt it was a little heavy but understandable with the insulation and other material . I might get the crew shirt next if it come back in my size . Also I'm 5' 7 " 190# I would down size next time to a Medium the large had to much arm length and shoulder hang .
I'm very happy with the zip up hoodie. Very warm and kept me dry my first day out. Temps were around 10 degrees and I was very comfortable with only a single base layer underneath. Only complaint is I wish the neck was a bit taller. I was feeling a bit of a draft down my chest and it would be nice to zip up to my chin for those windy days.
Super warm, dry, and fits perfectly. Actually better than Carhartt.
Last night I had the chance to ski in single digit temps, and this coat held up! Don't be fooled by its appearance: this hoodie is every bit a ski jacket. The pockets are deep, the lining is hot, and the aesthetic is on point!

I love the jacket so I immediately ordered 2 of your base layer crewneck shirts! Looking forward to adding them to my winter wardrobe.
I was skeptical and have been for years but finally decided to buy one of these hoodies and am not disappointed at all even being light weight kept me warm on a 20 degree pow day with just a base layer and t-shirt
Ordered the Zip-Up for my daughter who refuses to wear a winter coat. She loves it! There was a fire at her high school today and she was stuck outside for about 45 minutes. We live in MI and it was 20 degrees. She was warm and comfortable. Love it!!
Really good if weather is around 10F. If it’s colder and more windy 100% you need some 1st layer of thermal clothing.
Snow skirt is too high. It’s above belt. So you do have to always pull it down.
But overall it is great.
This hoodie is perfect! Got to finally use it snowboarding for 3 days straight. Well insulated (I actually got too hot wearing thermal layers in 30-40 degree weather). Thankfully it had zippered vents you can open! I love all the pockets on the outside as well as inside the jacket (4 front pockets / 2 inside). I was surprised how well the skirt kept out snow from coming into the bottom of the jacket. Super comfy and relaxed fit. Highly recommend!!
The Softflex Zip-up: Clay
Love everything about this jacket. So soft, fits perfectly, and so comfortable. I'm recommending to all my snow sports friends.
Warm, Waterproof, stretchable, nice color also
I bought the zippered hoodie ski jacket as a Christmas gift for our son. Size large was the perfect size for him and he loved the light blue denim color.
Let me be clear. I have been snowboarding for 20 years, I've had over 20 different snowboard jackets, I've layered, I've insulated, I've tried them all. This popped up on my Instagram, and I immediately was turned off because I usually don't like Instagram ads; they always feel like a marketing scam. (IE. Dope Snow/Montec) Trust me when I tell you this jacket is legit. I was in 15-degree weather, a merino wool base layer with this jacket, and I was warm. It has a lot of pockets, it's oversized in a good way, and it's comfortable. The compliments don't matter to me, but I received a few, and a few questions on where I got it as well. If you're debating if it's worth the money, or if it's all hype, I'm here to tell you it's worth it. This is a fantastic jacket. Also, you can use it for snowplowing, football games, or anything outdoors in the winter. I use it daily in the NE and for the mountain. Very, very versatile. This is one of those jackets that doesn't look like a snowboard jacket until you're snowboarding with it, when you're just wearing it for the winter it just looks like a very nice, well-made hoodie. This thing is awesome.
I bought soft flex zip ups for my husband and son-in-law. Not skiers, but my SIL hunts and my husband plows out the neighborhood when it snows. I thought the jackets seemed less bulky than other snow gear. They were very impressed with all of features and were looking forward to using them! I will definitely be watching out for other products from your company.
