Engineered for cyclists who demand elite performance in all conditions, the Men's Expedition PRO Alpha Jacket delivers breathable insulation, weather protection, and tailored mobility for long-distance rides and mixed terrain adventures.
At the core is Polartec® Alpha® Direct, an advanced active insulation that provides consistent warmth without bulk and allows body heat and moisture to escape before sweat builds up—ideal for high-output riding in variable weather. The ultralight stretch-woven shell is treated with PI Dry®, giving you wind and water resistance without compromising breathability.
Strategically placed ventilation panels under the arms and at the waist release excess heat during climbs and intense efforts, while the tailored fit enhances aerodynamics without restricting movement. A two-way YKK front zipper adds on-the-go venting, and zipped chest and rear pockets offer convenient storage access from the saddle.
Whether you're climbing through the cold, descending in drizzle, or bikepacking across seasons, this jacket is built to move with you—fast, far, and unbothered by the weather.
Pair it with one of our cycling tights for long-mile comfort, or explore more men's cycling jackets for gear that adapts to wherever your ride leads.

Good quality wind jacket
"Much lighter weight and less insulated than I expected based on description. Fine for windy days in the high 50’s and above but much more insulation required at cooler temperatures"
Not as warm as expected
"I like the fit, the 2-way zipper, and the pockets. And I like this for 40-50* days with medium to high exertion. However, this jacket is chilly at 40 degrees and a long sleeve merino layer underneath. It would need a solid additional thermal layer to be warm even at 32* f, let alone 'winter' conditions here in CO."
Perfect fit
"Super comfortable, high quality with a perfect fit. So far its been great for cooler weather commuting. Warm but breathable. Wish I'd bought is much sooner."
Nice jacket
"I purchased this jacket in a large to have a more casual fit as well as keep me warm on cooler rides. I am happy with the quality and fit. I am 5’11 165-170lbs and the large has a loose fit"
Canadian fall weather
"The jacket is light, but warm and resistant to weather especially light. Rain works awesome. Great purchase."
Nice
"Looks good. Had positive experiences with other products. Seemed advertised for cold weather. Was hoping to be able to replace my winter riding jacket. Don’t think I’ll be able to with this. Probably ideal for 40 degree temperatures."
The fit and quality of
"The fit and quality of the materials is top notch. Ratio of warmth to weight is excellent. Highly recommend!"
Order a couple sizes up.
"Fit is very small. It fit my son, who is usually a size M."
Warm and breathable!
"This jacket is very light weight while still keeping me warm during a winter bike ride. I paired with a thermal jersey and loved the layering system to keep my temp warm, while the breathability kept me dry with sweat wicking tech."
Breathable and warm
"Breathable! I ordered a bit larger because I layer with thermal jerseys and like extra room on top of that in my cycling jackets. I'm probably an anomaly, but for these needs, this worked great!"
