Two friends, one chairlift and the spark of a truly killer idea: since no one else was making the kind of **ski equipment** they really wanted, why not make it themselves. Fast forward to 2024. Still passionate about making **top-notch apparel** that can go from the slopes to the chalet without missing a beat, Swedish brand **Peak Performance** takes to the trails with its inaugural, and totally awesome, **MTB collection**. Case in point? The [**Vislight Alpha Jacket** ](https://www.peakperformance.com/de/en/product/w-vislight-alpha-jacket-g78914.html?color=76239)and [**Vislight Alpha Vest**](https://www.peakperformance.com/de/en/product/w-vislight-alpha-vest-g78944.html?color=76698), both of which are made with premium[ **Polartec® Alpha™**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha) **active insulation** that can handle the roughest terrains while **keeping you dry and comfortable** on your next off-trail adventure. *“We’ve shaped our product portfolio around what is important to us: finding the right design, with the right technical solutions and elevating them to fit the needs of our athletes. This is why choosing best-in-class materials that reflect the quality of the product and the brand was so important for our first MTB collection. Using Polartec® Alpha™ active insulation was a given from the very start.”* Erik Stensson, Designer. **Shredding in style** Every trail junkie knows that function outweighs form and aesthetics. But who said they have to be mutually exclusive? Peak Performance’s **light** and **breathable** full-year [**Vislight Alpha Jacket**](https://www.peakperformance.com/de/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=vislight) and [**Vislight Alpha Vest** ](https://www.peakperformance.com/de/en/product/m-vislight-alpha-vest-g78945.html?color=61720)prove our point. Meticulously crafted to **merge technical performance with optimal functionality**, both are made with premium [**Polartec® Alpha™**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha), a uniquely **recycled active insulation** engineered to provide **all-day protection while releasing excess moisture and body heat**. They are also **sleek**, **lightweight** and designed to deliver exceptional **quick-drying comfort** that moves with – not against – you. And did we mention that these slick essentials for men and women are **packable** and **extremely versatile**? So in addition to supporting every movement while **regulating your body temperature** with the precision of a pro, they can be easily stowed as needed for full-day expeditions. **Excel under pressure** Whether **riding**, **running** or enjoying any other **high-intensity activity**, the [**Vislight Alpha Jacket**](https://www.peakperformance.com/de/en/product/m-vislight-alpha-jacket-g78913.html?color=63372) has you covered. Literally. Featuring a **tight-fitting hood**, user-friendly **2-way zipper**, and strategically positioned pockets, this **lightweight and stretchy shell** combines true **functionality** with absolute convenience. Which is why it’s a top pick for world class **mountain biker**, **skier** and **extreme sports enthusiast** **WeiTen Ho**. So much so, that can be seen wearing it in his recent film, *Transitions*. While juggling the demands of competing at elite levels in two distinct disciplines may seem daunting to most, we’re talking about WeiTen. Definitely not “most”. And when he’s pushing his limits, he trusts the superior construction, exclusive use of [**Polartec® Alpha™**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha) **4-season active insulation**, and highly versatile fit of this amazing jacket to deliver **comfort** and **freedom of movement** without the bulk. Not to mention that its handy mesh chest pocket is a great place to quickly stash his gloves, beanie or other accessories. **Adventure ready** Designed for **mountain enthusiasts** who crave adrenaline-backed thrills all year round, the [**Vislight Alpha Vest**](https://www.peakperformance.com/de/en/product/m-vislight-alpha-vest-g78945.html?color=61720) is your ideal partner in crime.
