With a sleek design and light yet warm insulation, our best-selling men’s ski jacket is built for comfort and agility.With a sleek design and light yet warm insulation, our best-selling men’s ski jacket is built for comfort and agility.

We upgraded our iconic resort ski jacket with LifaLoft™ insulation, so it's even lighter and warmer than before.  The Alpha jacket is perfect for passionate skiers who don't want to pack a lot for adventures. In fact, it's the go-to jacket for Swedish Ski Alpine Team. Like always, it has the thoughtful technical details that keep you comfortable all day on the mountainside. Underarm vents enable you to regulate your body temperature during high output skiing. A PFC-free, water-repellent treatment protects you from light precipitation. The hood is detachable and helmet compatible. Additional ski features include a RECCO® Advanced Rescue system for findability, a LIFE POCKET+™ to keep your phone battery alive in cold, a ski pass pocket and a goggle shammy.

Qise I. owns this product
After owning countless jackets, I can honestly say the Helly Hansen Alpha LifaLoft checked off all the boxes. Comfortable and lightweight, yet warm enough to wear daily with just a thermal underneath, this jacket exceeded my expectations from day one. The jacket has many ski related features such as big pockets, waterproof zippers, hand warming sleeves and ventilation zippers to cool... Read more
Ideal for
  • Super lightweight yet warm enough for most mountain days
  • The most comfortable jacket i've ever worn on the slopes
  • Fleece lined pockets, ventilation zippers, hand sleeves
Not ideal for

Good Jacket keeps getting better

Originally posted at www.hellyhansen.com on Oct 5, 2024
Love the waffle style padding integrated into the material surrounding the collar, and the quilted material inside the hood. Super warm and comfy jacket all around.

I ordered this because I wanted fully taped and waterproofed zippers, and my alpha 3.0 was getting both too loose and beginning to lose its warmth. I was sad to see the fleece lining inside the collar on my alpha 3.0 is replaced with a microfabric that isn't as soft or warm, and that the inside of the green jacket was a bright garish yellow. Subjective but it wasn't for me.

Incredible
5 /5
Kat was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to learn everything about my current setup, my current skills, and my future goals to make sure she checked all of my boxes. As a woman, able to work one on one with a woman in the sport definitely made the whole process more personable, approachable, relatable, and overall a super awesome experience!

At first I thought Darren was just a robot but after some light conversation and even a detailed video explaining the picks he made for me I was thoroughly impressed by the service. If I’m ever shopping for more equipment I’ll be using curated and hopefully Darren again.

I was skeptical at first about buying my first ski setup from Curated But having Nick as my expert to help was such a great experience that I felt confident and good about purchasing from this site and the recommendations he gave to me based on our conversation. He was very helpful and friendly and helped me to stay within my budget while findings products for me that were tailored to my experience level and needs as a beginner skier. Nick was awesome and I definitely would work with him again in the future!

5 /5
Honestly the best customer service I have ever encountered. Vincent helped me not only find the best board but the best board for me. He helped me find the best setup for each "scenario" that I had and explained why each was the best choice. Ended up purchasing my dream setup because of Vincent. All the best to Vincent and the team.

Made finding a board easy
5 /5
After renting for two seasons I was finally ready to purchase a board of my own, but I was overwhelmed by all of the different styles and options. Darren made it so easy to navigate through it all. After briefly discussing my skill level, where I like to board and what styles I liked, he sent me great recommendations. We talked a bit back and forth about the pros and cons of each, and he was incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and responsive throughout the entire exchange until I was finally ready to make a purchase. I fully trust that this is the right board for me and I’m so grateful he helped guide me toward it. I will definitely be using him as a resource for any and all future gear needs!
