Designed for riders who demand more from every mile, the Women’s Expedition PRO Alpha Vest delivers lightweight warmth, weather protection, and next-level breathability for endurance adventures. At its core, 60g Polartec® Alpha® Direct insulation continuously regulates temperature, releasing excess body heat before it builds while keeping you warm through shifting conditions.
A premium Toray ultra-light woven shell balances wind protection with 20 CFM breathability, while stretch side panels enhance mobility and help dump heat on climbs. A PFAS-free PI Dry® C0 DWR finish shrugs off light precipitation, and a YKK® two-way zipper provides adjustable ventilation and easy access to jersey pockets underneath. Secure chest and back zip pockets offer dependable storage for long rides, while an elastic hem keeps the fit streamlined for layering.
Finished with BioViz® reflective details for visibility in low light and made with recycled content, this vest is purpose-built for gravel grinds, bikepacking epics, and all-day trail missions. Complete your kit with adventure-ready layers from the Women’s Expedition Collection.

Great Vest
"Great fit, warm and cozy pockets. I ordered a size large and it fits exactly as it intended to be and was able to wear a layer underneath comfortably."
Vest
"Nice material, light weight, good layer. Fits a bit snug at middle and waist for 2x. Zipper works both ways!"
Absolute perfect vest
"Super light, extremely warm water resistant, and fully featured vest. Love the double pull front zipper secured zippered pockets!! All a win win! I am tall and lean, and the long slim length fits perfectly. I just wish it was offered in more colors. Something a little brighter for the roads. please continue to offer this vest!"
Very warm yet breathable.
"I wore this vest for the first time the other day mountain biking and I couldn’t be happier with the fit and function of the vest. I particularly love vests for cycling because if you keep your core warm the rest of you will stay warm without overheating."
Great fit and warm.
"Great fit and warm."
Vest
"It fits great but I thought it would have more padding"
Easy to layer and pack
"Super lightweight and easy to pack! I really like the material of this vest and I like that I can use it as a layer. I have actually been wearing it under my ski clothes for ski season and it's been awesome, very versatile."
Vest for Cold weather MTBing
"This vest worked great for some cold dry dessert weather ~45-50F Mountain Biking. I typically need to size up in all things Pearl Izumi, because I like things a little less snug, and it fit perfectly!"
Stayed warm winter riding
"This vest was great for my winter ride, keeping my core temperature warm. The material is lightweight and does not feel bulky, even when layered on top of a PEAL iZUMi jacket."
Lightweight, Packable, and Warm
"Lightweight but surprisingly warm. Ideal for layering on cooler rides, and easy to stash when it’s not needed. Solid performance"
