The award-winning Alpha series is the pinnacle of design, functionality, and comfort. Building on the ErgoFit design and expanding on successes of the previous iterations, the Alpha 6.0 focuses on past design strengths while introducing new functional changes. This 6-liter race vest has 9 pockets accessible on the go with 8 of them being on the front of the harness. The Alpha 6.0 highlights the benefits of a traditional fitting race vest, with improvements across the board. Most notably, the fit of the vest all around is streamlined to sit close to the body while not restricting your movements or breathing in any way. The ergonomically placed rear passage pocket makes accessing items stored in the back of the pack quick and easy. The MaxO2™ Sternum, proprietary to UltrAspire, keeps the Alpha 6.0 secured and hindrance-free while running. Compatible with a range of hydration options and available in 3 sizes to ensure a perfect fit.

Technologies- 

ErgoFit: The human body is complex with intricate detail and function. The same attention to detail is present in the design of our packs to enable precise movement, contact, and weight distribution which ensures that there is never any inhibition to the biomechanics of the human body.

• Shoulder straps: Human shoulders aren’t straight, so a pack’s shoulder straps shouldn’t be either. Longer straps allow the back portion to sit deeper on the neck to prevent any rubbing. This addition in length helps to create slope as the straps come over the top of the shoulders and around the neck following the natural curve of the body. The harness then follows an S curve around the arms and chest area to avoid any hindrance to the running motion.
• Weight Distribution: The harness construction also helps to keep the pack balanced at any capacity to ensure the same high quality fit empty or fully loaded. In regards to balance, the load is positioned lower on the back closer to the body’s center of gravity, the hips. This placement helps to stop unnecessary energy expenditure during the long haul.

Ultracool System: When the human body exerts force, 80% of the power it generates is converted to thermal energy. This means that most of the energy you use when running, climbing, or doing anything else is lost and becomes heat. The hotter you are, the worse you perform. The Ultracool System is a collection of technologies designed to dissipate heat and keep you cool. This system allows you to maintain a lower body temperature by dispersing heat during intense activity, keeping you performing at the highest level.

• Small Footprint: Anatomically engineered, the pack covers only what is necessary on the body to keep it secure thus allowing for your temperature to remain cooler during heavy energy exertion.
• Max02™ Sternum: The Max02™ Sternum is a shock cord securing system that helps create a comfortable & natural breathing pattern while at the same time keeping the pack secure. The shock cord allows for stretch outward and 100% rebound which keeps the pack snug against your body empty or fully loaded with no restriction of movement.
