Best Rain Jacket I’ve Ever Owned

This jacket is as close to perfect as I’ve found. Great fit, quality construction, and comfortable! It’s my go-to travel jacket. NR gear is far beyond any of premium brands I’ve tried.

Alpha Shell is a perfect solution for our adventure sports retreat.

Nomadic Research is supporting our second annual adventure sports retreat in Moab, UT. Based on our experience the previous year, some of our participants need a cold weather gear solution to being out in the canyon system in the early mornings and after the sun goes down. The Alpha Shell is a high-quality item that meets this need perfectly! Can't thank the Nomadic Research team enough.
