Ultralight Alpha Direct Pants: Warmth Without the Weight

• S - 139g
• M - 150g
• L - 166g

Featherlight, incredibly breathable, and designed for pure efficiency with their active gusset, the Tribe UL Gear Alpha Direct Pants are the perfect mid-layer for high-output adventures. At just ~150g, they provide exceptional warmth while remaining ultra-packable and fast-drying—ideal for unpredictable conditions.

Efficient Warmth, Ultimate Comfort

Alpha Direct is a game-changer for active insulation. The open-knit design of Alpha Direct pulls moisture away from your skin, dries fast, and works seamlessly under a waterproof shell, keeping you warm when you need it without overheating when you're on the move. Whether layered under a hard shell in cold, wet conditions or worn alone in camp, they offer unmatched breathability and comfort.

Rolling down smaller than a Nalgene, these pants tuck effortlessly into your pack, your mesh or your drybag ready for chilly mornings, sudden weather shifts, or cold nights at camp. When each gram matters but warmth is non-negotiable, these pants are the answer.

Handmade for True Ultralight Hikers

Each piece is unique. Every product from Tribe UL Gear is hand-designed and handmade from start to finish, meaning no two are exactly alike. Minor differences between pictures and real-life products are part of what makes each one special—just like every trail, every hiker, and every journey.

Fitting

Waist is measured at the wear line of most pants.

Hips are measured at the maximum circumference, around your hips and your butt.

If you are between sizes, waist measurement is the best predictor of size.
