The Alpine Project is made from Gore-Tex Active Shell, which is 30 per cent lighter than other Gore-Tex laminates making this a good option if you’re looking to travel light.
The fabric also has a nice tactile feel, unlike some. The overall fit is quite generous and you get all the standard features – huge zipped handwarmer pockets/vents, fully adjustable hood, pit zips, adjustable cuffs and hem, microfleece chin guard and great looks too.
We really liked it, our only reservation was that it felt a tad tight across the shoulders – you may want to check this before buying.
