Ultra-Thin Shirt Jackets

The Coldsmoke Alpha-lite Jacket Shirt is Designed for Layering Purposes

— November 16, 2016 — Fashion
Those who aren't much for oversized winter jackets and want to keep their gear minimal will find the Coldsmoke Alpha-lite Jacket Shirt to be the perfect solution. Created as a tech performance layering garment, the shirt jacket features Polartec Alpha insulation that was originally developed for military Special Forces use. This helps the jacket to maintain optimal comfort in a variety of different temperatures, yet is capable of being used to layer garments to reach the preferred level of warmth.

The Coldsmoke Alpha-lite Jacket Shirt can be worn as a standalone jacket as a way to keep one's outerwear functional and looking sharp. The slim design enables users to maintain warmth without having to choose between a jacket that's designed for spring and another that's made for the arctic.
