    Product Details

    Overview

    Alpha Rain Shell. Waterproof, Breathable, Mission-Ready.

    Built for performance in the harshest conditions, the Alpha Rain Shell delivers all-weather protection and all-day comfort without compromise. Constructed from Toray® Advanced Technology fabrics, it combines Dermizax® waterproof membranes with Primeflex™ bi-component stretch fabric to achieve the perfect balance of durability, breathability, and mobility.

    Engineered for field, tactical, and backcountry environments, the Alpha Shell provides 20,000mm waterproofing and 10,000g breathability, ensuring total weather resistance while allowing internal moisture to escape. The soft, quiet outer fabric offers low acoustic signature and exceptional comfort in motion.

    Fully seam-sealed and reinforced with abrasion-resistant 150D construction, it’s equipped with adjustable cuffs, hem drawcords, and a helmet-compatible NRHood™ with Cohaesive™ adjustments for full coverage and control. Articulated sleeves and gusseted underarms provide unrestricted movement, while multiple waterproof YKK® AQUAGUARD™ pockets secure mission-critical gear.

    Whether you’re navigating city streets or rugged terrain, the Alpha Rain Shell adapts seamlessly to every environment — built for those who move fast, stay dry, and demand performance.
