Unlike traditional insulations that trap moisture and lose their thermal properties when wet, Alpha® Direct is an open-construction knit insulation that provides continuous warmth while actively allowing moisture vapour to pass through. This makes it exceptionally well-suited to high-output activities where managing perspiration is just as important as staying warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Direct\" designation means the insulation is designed to be worn without a face fabric, reducing weight, improving breathability, and speeding up dry times. The result is a neck warmer that feels soft and comfortable against the skin while performing at a level far beyond conventional fleece or knit alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: Polartec® Alpha® Direct 90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 86g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: 2-in-1 snood hat (neck warmer and hat)\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey Performance Attributes: Insulation, breathability, and weather resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Purple Mountain Observatory","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":58569961406799,"sku":"PMO_000117","price":48.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/7624\/5071\/files\/NECK_GAITOR_POLARTEC_BLACK2.jpg?v=1788259828","url":"https:\/\/www.nordicoutdoor.co.uk\/en-fr\/products\/polartec-neckwarmer","provider":"Nordic Outdoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
