Peak Performance Debuts The Latest Alpine GORE-TEX 3L Shell

October 2, 2026

Engineered For Freeride over 17 Seasons

Stockholm, Sweden (October 2, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – The Alpine GORE-TEX 3L shell has been refined over 17 years of development. Engineered for ski guides and mountain rescue teams tackling demanding off-piste terrain, it delivers uncompromising weather protection, exceptional mobility, and the adaptability required in high-pressure mountain environments.

Adaptability is delivered through extensive ventilation options that regulate heat during fluctuating activity levels, while maintaining full waterproof and windproof protection in storms and exposed environments. The pants feature full-length ventilation zippers, enabling rapid temperature adjustment during high intensity movement. The system is also designed to integrate seamlessly with mid-layers, back protection plates, and backpack systems, ensuring consistent performance as skiers adjust their equipment throughout the day.

Mobility is enhanced by a GORE-TEX Stretch panel across the jacket’s upper back, providing increased articulation and freedom of movement during technical ascents and descents.

Both pieces are constructed using 3-layer GORE-TEX C-Knit™ technology, delivering dependable waterproofness, windproofing and outstanding breathability (RET < 13m² Pa/W). Durability is reinforced through Cordura® panelling on the pants and Cohæsive™ cord-adjustment hardware on the jacket.

ALPINE 3L: A SUMMARY

• The Alpine Jacket and Pants use GORE-TEX ePE membrane technology and are made without intentionally added PFAS. Both products are built using recycled polyamide components, contributing to responsible material use and extended product life.
• RECCO® Rescue System reflectors are integrated into the pants, enhancing searchable safety in the event of an emergency.
• The jacket also features a radio pocket on the chest, historically used by mountain guides for communication during rescue operations.
