Appreciate the attention to detail

Just received my alpha 90 zip up and am very happy with it. Sizing is slightly larger than typical sizing, but the added mobility is appreciated. The piping around the hood, sleeve cuffs, and waist has just the right amount of snugness to keep things in place without affecting mobility. This will be my new go to for backcountry ski touring.

The performance of this hoodie far exceeded my expectations. I paired this with a windbreaker and was the perfect combo for a breezy chilly morning. The color is a cross between a lichen and olive drab and would pair well with camouflage for any environment. The weight of this.. I forget I'm wearing it.

This is my 3rd hoodie. I love this one as it’s my first zipped hoodie. My only nitpick is on thumb hole was sewn smaller that the other but not a big deal. This hoodie will get used a-lot and I’m sure it will get bigger.

Great hoodie - with a little Imperfection

General fit
I'm pleased with the fit of these hoodies. Size L fits me perfectly at 183cm (6′) and 80kg (176lbs), though the sleeves could be a bit tighter around the upper arms as they feel quite loose. Overall, the hoodies, the quality of the material and the workmanship meet my expectations, with a minor exception.

Color Variants
I ordered the hoodies in dune and black. Both colors match what was advertised. I prefer the dune one as its sleeves are slightly shorter, fitting me better. Aside from the anticipated difference in weight (Dune at 142g (5oz), and black at 149g (5.25oz)), the hoodies are the same.

Cosmetic Issue
The black hoodie has a small issue: the zipper is not perfectly straight. It doesn't affect functionality, but once spotted, it's hard to overlook. Small variations between hoodies are completely understandable for a cottage company and generally not an issue. But a misaligned zipper is a little bit disappointing.
The photo with the black hoodie shows the misaligned zipper. The dune hoodie is only for comparison.

Shipping & Duties
As a customer from Europe, the shipping process was impressive. The hoodie arrived just over a week after I ordered it, even during the holiday season. All duties and taxes were handled at checkout. I really appreciate the great customer service.

Overall
All in all, I would give it 4.5 stars, but since that option isn't available, I'll round up. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here, assuming the issue with the zipper might just be a one-off 😊
