The Alpha Squak V2 is a lightweight, versatile layer designed for outdoor enthusiasts. The Polartec Alpha Direct fabric was created in 2012 and is a result of the U. S. Military and Polartec combining their expertise to create a high-performance fabric.

What's new in V2: This updated version features gender-specific sizing for a better fit and a bottom hem to help keep the hoodie in place during movement.

With exceptional thermal efficiency, the Alpha Squak V2 keeps you warm in colder conditions without the bulk. Its breathable fabric ensures optimal body temperature regulation, preventing overheating during high-intensity activities. It wicks moisture away effectively, keeping you dry and comfortable even during long adventures.

The Alpha Squak V2’s lightweight and packable design makes it perfect for ultralight backpacking, while its versatility allows it to shine as a standalone layer or a mid-layer under a shell. Quick-drying, it's ideal for multi-day trips or those unexpected rain showers. The soft, comfortable feel against your skin enhances all-day wearability, while the durability of Polartec Alpha Direct fleece means it’s built to handle rugged outdoor use.

Whether you're backpacking, climbing, or just exploring the outdoors, the Alpha Squak V2 offers the superior performance you can rely on.

Turn your garment inside out, wash gently with cool water and mild detergent. Air-dry when you can, or use low/no heat in the dryer. Skip the bleach, softeners, high heat, or dry cleaning — your gear’s got enough adventure as it is.

Perfectly handcrafted piece of gear and as light and interesting as everyone said

It came without flaws, nicely done and weighing in at 118g *size M, takes more or less 1L of space without compressing.
it goes skin tight luckily I'm a size over my standard one and about to loose weight, otherwise I would have sized up
The only bad thing were the import duties imposed in Spain😅 (127€ hoodie+shipping+taxes) but anyway you can't find it in EU so I can't regret much having it..🤷🏻‍♂️
It arrived quick and I could completely track the package. It is an interesting piece of gear, I recommend it, especially this brand.
I have to say that if squack was into making Alpha Direct 90gsm tighs for my sleeping system I would have bought one so you could have gotten me to buy another product... Just think about it ,✌🏽😉

Thanks for the detailed review Mario! We appreciate you sharing the specifics on weight, packability, and fit. It's great to hear it arrived in good condition and that you were able to track the package. We understand the import duties can be a factor, and we appreciate you mentioning that for other EU customers. We'll also take your suggestion about the Alpha Direct 90gsm tights into consideration – that's valuable feedback. Happy trails!

Alpha for the Win

This fleece has quickly become my go-to for everything—from work to outdoor adventures. The fit is perfect: loose but not too boxy, making it super comfortable without feeling bulky. The fleece itself is incredibly soft, and the beige color is such a great, versatile shade.

One thing worth noting is that the sleeve hems don’t have a ton of stretch, so pulling them up to the elbow can be a bit tricky. But other than that, it’s an absolute favorite. I’d recommend sticking with your regular size—I’m typically a “smeedium,” and the medium fit perfectly!

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear the fleece is your new go-to and that you're loving the fit and color. We appreciate the feedback about the sleeve hems – that's helpful for us. And thanks for the sizing tip! Happy adventures, and we hope the fleece keeps you comfortable on all of them!

The ethereal Alpha Squak

I used this recently on a trip to Joshua Tree and it was awesome! Temperatures got down to 38 but I was extremely comfortable in the Alpha + puffer + rain jacket. Loved the fit and I feel like it will get even better over time as the material stretches. Also shoutout to the amazing staff at Squak who ensured that I received my hoody prior to my trip! You all rock.

That's fantastic Benjamin! We're thrilled to hear the Alpha performed so well for you in Joshua Tree. It's great to know you stayed comfortable in those temps. We appreciate the feedback on the fit and the shoutout to our staff! Happy trails, and thanks for sharing your experience!
