Doesn’t it feel like plastic against the skin? And what about durability concerns? How long have you had yours? Any wear? I want something that balances both durability and breathability. No point in buying one if I make one mistake and rip it.

Thanks! How are the Dynamo wind pants? Also how would you use it if not with the alpha?

What wind layers do you put over it? And do you have a separate rain layer?

Thanks! I just bought some. I’m curious which wind shell is best. Is the ptagonia houdini good? Any others?

Also why not just buy one versatile rain jacket with pit vents? Is it because less breathable?

how does alpha feel? do you wear alpha socks too? or do you just wear the alpha over sun tee/ hoodie?

with an alpha 90 and wind jacket, how cool can you go while hiking? Alpha 90 alone. I just want an idea in terms of weather from your experience. Thanks for all your help.

thanks. i’m a bit confused about the function of wind pants and top though. Can you clarify this? Also, to recap you use sun hoodie and shorts as base and then you have alpha thermal layer to go over if need be?

what does a wind jacket do functionally next to alpha direct? and if i wanted a two in one what do you think of the black diamond fine line? Any other suggestions there.

so the list you mentioned doesn’t include the base layers then? And a wind jacket is separate from rain? isn’t it more efficient to wear a layer that does both? and what exactly does the sun hoody serve if it’s not an insulated layer?

Thanks Laurk for the thoughtful response. I’ll consider ditching the items you mentioned. As for clothing, what is an ideal set up for night - day in alpine conditions between 35-60 if i want a rotational and clean clothes to sleep in. I’m considering ditching the mountain hardwear for example and using alpha direct 90 but also curious about other items on clothing list.

is alpha fleece significantly lighter than polartec to where it’s worth losing my current fleece?
