The Alpha Industries Weather Warrior collection has been unveiled by the company as a new lineup of products that are streetwear-approved, but also capable of withstanding inclement weather for enhanced durability.
The collection consists of three jackets for men in total including the Duster W.P. Field Coat, the Deluge Ripstop Fishtail and the ECWCS Torrent Raindrop Jacket. Each of the jackets has its own distinct style, but all three are outfitted with weatherproofing accents including wind-resistant fabrics and seam-sealed outer shells to prevent water from permeating down to the wearer.
The Alpha Industries Weather Warrior collection is part of the increasing tactical clothing market trend that is seeing many consumers seek out ways to look their best without having to sacrifice functionality.
