The new [**Velocio Alpha Zero Vest**](https://velocio.cc/collections/new-for-fall-24/products/womens-alpha-zero-vest?_pos=3&_fid=bac6c8926&_ss=c) is **designed for cycling enthusiasts who refuse to let shifting temperatures dictate their ride**. ![3 Polartec P R VELOCIO Article](https://polartec-polartec.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/img/3-Polartec-P.R.-VELOCIO-Article.jpg?w=450&h=450&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1741969388&s=24b05fa3deb321c44ff8d617ec90f911) ![4 Polartec P R VELOCIO Article]() ![2 Polartec P R VELOCIO Article]() ![1 Polartec P R VELOCIO Article]() In practice, the **Alpha Zero Vest is a complete layering system in one piece** of kit. **Combining high-loft, lightweight** [**Polartec® Alpha™ active insulation**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha) **and a highly breathable** [**Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/weather-protection/power-shield-pro) **weather-resistant outer shell,** it offers maximum protection against the elements. In fact, it may just be the most refined winter riding vest on the market. What’s more, because the Alpha Zero Vest ensures **dynamic thermoregulation** across a wide range of conditions, it can be worn instead of a jacket on crisp mornings or as an extra barrier against the deep winter cold. Synonymous with **adaptability**, this vest delivers **warmth and breathability without the bulk**. [**Polartec® Alpha™**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/insulation/alpha) is an **innovative next-to-skin technology that regulates body temperature** by continuously releasing excess heat and maintaining warmth. [**Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/weather-protection/power-shield-pro), on the other hand, **uses a non-PFAS bio-based membrane to keep water and wind at bay, without sacrificing breathability**. More importantly, it uses **Biolon™\* nylon, a plant-based alternative that lowers the carbon footprint by 50% compared to virgin Nylon-6,6**. As a result, the Alpha Zero Vest protects you from biting gusts while keeping you dry and comfortable inside and out, reducing the need to shed or add layers as the day goes on. Designed with **versatility** in mind, this vest is also highly **packable**, compressing small enough to be easily stored in your kit when not in use. Velocio’s drop bar fit has been refined over a decade of testing, feedback, and revision. The result is a three-dimensional pattern with every stitch and fabric panel carefully positioned to be quiet on the road without restricting movement. We love the fact that Velocio took inspiration from hard core mountain explorers, incorporating highly technical Polartec layers into a single deep-winter vest, and you will too. Check it out! \*Biolon™ is a trademark of Milliken & Company. [ Get it now ](https://velocio.cc/collections/new-for-fall-24/products/womens-alpha-zero-vest?variant=41767258030153) Share.
