The workmanship is top-notch, typical for Alpha. Unfortunately, the pockets are a total letdown. Both from the inside and outside, you access the same space, making it easy to lose, for example, keys, which could fall out under the jacket. Additionally, there is a hole going all the way through, so the pocket entry is completely open. Another downside is the stiff zips in the hood, which are uncomfortable, especially when driving – I feel like I have a hump and can't lean back properly. On the plus side, the hood offers good protection against wind and the jacket is warm. In summary: quality and insulation are five-star level, but the pockets make the jacket difficult to use comfortably – you could possibly sew them up from the inside, then you can get by even with the hood. I also need to mention the buttons – they come off very easily, especially if used often. I solved this by sewing them through a small button underneath, so the thread doesn't get cut by the cord, but that solution is mainly for people familiar with sewing.

Alpha Industries N2B Jacket - Black
N2B is a winter jacket with a cropped parka fit, designed based on the aviation clothing used by the US Air Force. It is made to be worn in winter conditions and to protect against low temperatures. The nylon fabric used protects against wind and moisture, while the polyester insulation effectively retains heat. The deep hood, trimmed with faux fur, provides additional protection from the cold, and the styling details refer to the aviation heritage of the Alpha Industries brand.
DURABLE EXTERNAL MATERIAL, NYLON LINING
The solid nylon fabric effectively protects against wind. Inside, a smooth polyester lining makes it easy to wear over other layers. The whole is complemented by synthetic insulation, ensuring thermal comfort on cold days.
Pockets and practical solutions
- two lower welt pockets
- pass-through pockets for easy access to trousers without unzipping the jacket
- internal pocket for small items
- utility pocket on the sleeve with "Remove Before Flight" tape
Main fastening, thermal strip
The zip is covered with a wide thermal strip with large buttons, making it easy to handle even with thick gloves. This solution helps retain warmth and further enhances protection against cold air.
Deep zipped hood
A deep split hood, trimmed with artificial fur, effectively protects against cold and wind. A zip running along its full length allows it to be unzipped and spread over the shoulders, increasing comfort and allowing the hood to be adjusted to different weather conditions.
Ribbing and comfort of wear
The sleeves are finished with elastic cuffs, and the bottom of the jacket has ribbing. This provides better fitting and warmth retention. As a result, the jacket fits well to the body, protecting against cold wind pressure and increasing freedom of movement.
