100% WATERPROOF & WINDPROOF - The heavy-duty Alpha Rain Jacket is a durable hardshell raincoat with a triple-layer waterproof breathable membrane to keep you dry when the weather is foul. Waterproof zippers, durable water repellant (DWR) treatment, and fully taped seams keep rain where it belongs, outside your gear.
FIGHT THE FUNK - To help you keep your scent locked down, Badlands uses Silvadur antimicrobial technology. It uses the natural power of silver to control the bacteria and microbes that cause odors when they react with your sweat. It's an effective, long-lasting way to fight the funk.
EFFECTIVE PROTECTION - The Alpha Jacket epitomizes the motto, 'always be prepared.' In addition to keeping you warm and dry, it's got a fully adjustable, removable hood, an integrated face shield, and zippered hand and chest pockets to keep your essentials at the ready.
APPROACH CAMO - A carefully constructed and neutral color palette allows the Approach pattern to adapt to your surroundings AND the current lighting conditions. Changing light will no longer dictate whether or not you stay hidden when it matters most.
UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME WARRANTY - Badlands' gear is built so tough that we can offer our legendary Unconditional Lifetime Warranty. As long as it says Badlands, it's covered.
