Men's Taiga Polartec Alpha Gilet – Carbon

Polartec Alpha gilet consists of two parts: the main one – insulating the chest and back – and elastic inserts sewn into the sides. Thanks to them it fits the body perfectly and moves with you. We sewed in two really deep pockets fastened with a flat zip, as well as a large internal one – it will fit a phone (this trick – keeping your phone close to your body – comes in handy during severe frosts, which reduce battery level). The gilet is finished with a stand-up collar that protects the neck and nape from the wind.

When creating the Polartec Alpha Gilet, we wanted to achieve the best possible warmth-to-weight ratio the fabric can offer. We made the outer part of the gilet (protecting the torso and back) from fabric produced using Ripstop technology (a similar one is used in the production of mountain hammocks and down jackets). The inside of the gilet is an elastic mesh studded with pleasant-to-the-touch insulating Polartec Alpha balls. The elastic side panels of the gilet are made from warm Thermo Pro knitwear that wicks moisture and adapts to body movement.

We wanted the gilet to be suitable both for demanding mountain routes, running and cycling, and also to fit neatly into an urban-sport style. I think we’ve got it, right?

At ATTIQ we believe it’s possible to create timeless clothing. We sew our collections so that they pair well with sportswear in different colours and prints. ATTIQ clothing is made in our workshop in the south of Poland. We sew using materials from the European Union.
