Review: Alpkit Morphosis – first look.

I called in at Alpkit on my return from Nepal to check out their new Morphosis Jacket. I was so impressed with it that I also bought the Half-Zip Top too.
My old Softshell has started to see better days and I was looking to replace it. The Morphosis is Alpkit’s modern slant on the classic softshell. It’s classic Alpkit – all function and no faff, just how I like my gear.
It’s made from a breathable, wind resistant, DWR coated outer material that has a bit of stretch, and a 140gsm micro-gridded fleece liner. The fleece liner is exempt from under the arms and the sides, ideal for heat control under exertion. The usual stuff like internal baffles and hem & hood adjustment are simple and effective. I’m a regular medium and the fit and cut are excellent.
With some foul weather on the near horizon I’m looking forward to giving them a rigorous test. I’ll let you know how I fare in a couple of months. Below is a bit of information to be getting on with.
