W Alpine Gore-Tex®︎ JKT & PANTS

Ride and hike seamlessly and stress-free

Peak Performance's iconic Alpine series is back, redesigned! The "W Alpine Gore-Tex®︎ JKT" maintains the same high-quality essentials while bringing back the crazy zipper pattern. Crafted from durable 3L GORE C-KNIT fabric, this shell jacket has all the features you need for off-piste adventures

Gore-tex Strech is used on the inside of the neck, so there is no stress on the neck when wearing the hood. The three-dimensional cut around the elbows follows even the most intense movements. It is designed to provide uncompromising functionality for the pursuit of skiing. Of course, it is seamless when switching from riding to hiking

These are the best-selling "W Alpine Gore-Tex®︎ PANTS," which cover a wide range of snow scenes.
The fabric uses durable and windproof 3L GORE C-KNIT fabric, providing peace of mind even in windy and snowy conditions.

The 3D cut at the knees firmly supports active lower body movement. The snap-in system allows for easy connection with the matching W Alpine Gore-Tex®︎ JKT, preventing snow from getting in even during hard falls in powder. The Velcro allows for waist adjustment without a belt, ensuring a comfortable fit.

Peak Performance rider | Ayano Suzuki's clothing review

My shoulders and arms felt even more stress-free, and I noticed how well it wicked away sweat, so much so that I can't even remember. This is just my personal impression, but the feel of the Gore-tex® that was used in the Alpine series up until now has completely changed. I didn't feel any tightness while hiking, and I was so absorbed in just the snowy mountains, the lines I was skiing, and the people I was skiing with

And my absolute favorite thing about this collection is the pink color and the crazy zippers! The soft colors and zipper accents are so typical of Peak Performance. By the way, the outfit I'm wearing has a pink jacket and dark brown pants, and the combination of colors is just so cute! I realized it midway through the season, "These are cherry blossom colors! It's cherry blossom!"

Plus, the jacket length isn't too long, which is typical of Alpine, and the waist silhouette is just right without being too feminine. The overall lines are simple and not too wide, and the colors are understated, giving it a refined look. Hike and ride to your heart's content, feeling energized and ready to go! Adventure in style, both cute and cool!
