Le Bent Men’s Alpha Active Insulated Hybrid Jacket

The Le Bent Men’s Alpha Active Insulated Hybrid Jacket is a high-output, merino-blend mid layer that fuses Polartec® Alpha Active insulation with mapped merino fleece panels for breathable warmth during every stop-and-go mission.

Breathable Warmth That Moves With You

• Performance hybrid mid layer: Strategically combines heavyweight 280gm waffle-grid merino fleece, lightweight 200gm Signature Merino Blend, and Polartec® Alpha Active insulation so you stay warm without overheating when you’re working hard.
• Wind-blocking shell with DWR: A high-performance nylon taffeta wind barrier treated with DWR shrugs off light snow and drizzle and cuts biting wind while staying light and packable.
• Signature Merino Blend comfort: Le Bent’s merino-bamboo blend delivers ultra-soft, itch-free comfort, natural odor resistance, and excellent moisture management right next to your skin.
• Built for high-output days: Polartec® Alpha Active insulation is designed to breathe and dry quickly, making this jacket ideal for touring, side-country laps, trail runs, and any day with big climbs and cool-down breaks.
• Slim, athletic fit: A men’s-specific slim cut with underarm gussets, stretch binding, and no shoulder seams lets you move freely and comfortably under a pack or shell.
• Packable and fast-drying: Lightweight, compressible construction stuffs easily into a pack and dries quickly between missions, so it’s always ready for the next lap.
• Thoughtful mountain details: Hidden chest and hand pockets, durable YKK® zippers, and stretch woven binding at the cuffs and hem round out a clean, technical design that just works.

Ideal For

The Men’s Alpha Active Insulated Hybrid Jacket is perfect for skiers, snowboarders, ski tourers, runners, and hikers who run warm but need serious protection when the weather turns. It shines on stop-start days—bootpacks, skin tracks, ridge walks, and cold-weather runs—where you’re constantly shifting from high effort to standing still.
