Before this purchase, I did not have any experience with the Alpha Direct fabric. It's great. The pattern and design of the Beyond Aura Jacket make good use of the material, and the reinforcing panels are well placed. I wish I had bought three...
I really like the L1 S.S. Crew, it is super soft and comfortable. I definitely want more colors of this shirt!
This is a fleece jacket worth it though. Packs smaller than standard grid fleece, generous arm length. Well thought out design. Order a size up if you don’t want it too snug, but your standard size is fine with a light base layer and it moves enough to be comfortable. Great buy if you only have one fleece
