For added protection against wind and water, the Alpha Ultimate Insulated Jacket features anatomically shaped cuffs, critical external seam taping, and a bonded hem.

I've not used this, but have tried it on. A detail about these alpha jackets that is usually not provided is how the sleeves are insulated. Often, the inner half of the sleeve is left uninsulated. I prefer complete coverage. This jacket mostly does the latter, insulating the complete upper sleeve but uniquely leaving the forearms uninsulated. A close comparison is the Sportful Total Comfort jacket, which also has a Polartec shell, but the Alpha insulation provides complete coverage of the arms all the way down. The Castelli jacket has seam sealing and double cuffs, so it is made with foul weather in mind. But the Sportful jacket is much less expensive, and looks and feels well totally comfortable (I own this one).
