Craftsmanship is excellent, as is typical for Alpha. Unfortunately, the pockets are a total mess. Both from the inside and the outside, you access the same space, which makes it easy to lose, for example, keys that can fall out under the jacket. Additionally, there's a hole all the way through, so at the pocket entry, you can see right through. Another drawback is the stiff zippers in the hood, which are uncomfortable, especially when driving a car—I feel like I have a hump and can't lean back properly. On the positive side, the hood does protect well against the wind and the jacket is warm. To sum up: quality and warmth are at a 5-star level, but the pockets make it uncomfortable to use this jacket—you could possibly sew them up from the inside, and then even the hood would be livable. I also need to mention the buttons—they come off very easily, especially if used often. I solved this by sewing them on with a small button underneath so the thread isn't cut by the cord, but that's a solution for people who have some sewing experience.
Alpha Industries N2B Jacket - Black
N2B is a winter jacket with a cropped parka fit, designed based on the flight clothing used by the US Air Force. It is made to be worn in winter conditions and 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 EXTERIOR MATERIAL, NYLON LINING
The sturdy nylon fabric effectively protects against wind. Inside, a smooth polyester lining is used, facilitating layering over other garments. The whole is complemented by synthetic insulation, ensuring warmth on cold days.
Pockets and practical solutions
- two lower welt pockets
- pass-through pockets for easy access to pants without unzipping the jacket
- interior pocket for small items
- sleeve utility pocket with "Remove Before Flight" tape
Main closure, thermal strip
The zipper is shielded by a wide thermal strip with large buttons, making it easier to handle even with thick gloves. This solution helps retain warmth and additionally enhances protection against cold air.
Deep zippered hood
A deep split hood, trimmed with artificial fur, effectively shields against cold and wind. A zipper running the full length allows it to be unzipped and draped over the shoulders, increasing comfort and allowing the hood to adapt to various weather conditions.
Ribbing and wearing comfort
The sleeves are finished with elastic cuffs, and the jacket's hem with ribbing. This provides a better fit and warmth retention. As a result, the jacket fits well to the body, protecting against cold wind pressure and increasing movement comfort.
