Alpha Vertex Jacket

Deciding on which hunting clothing to go with is tough since fit is such a personal thing and it’s a pretty big investment. That said, I decided to go for some pieces from Pnuma over some of the other big names, mostly based on videos from ElkShape and many late nights pouring over reviews.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the Alpha Vertex Jacket and Alpha Vertex Pants from Pnuma.

I did get more use out of the pants than the jacket, but the jacket was comfortable and warm when I used it. At 30 degrees I was warm hiking. Otherwise, spring bear hunt was warm enough to not need to pull it out.

However, I wore the Vertex pants every day on trails and bushwhacking through swamps and deadfall.

The bear I shot was in a ton of deadfall and there were many times they snagged on branches of fallen trees. Most the time I tried to untangle myself safely and without pulling at the pants, but there were definitely times where I just had to pull through to snap branches off. I swore I would have tears in the legs, but after getting home, no tears, snags, wholes or otherwise. I was so impressed.

I am pretty impressed. Very confident in the material and toughness of the jacket based on the performance of the pants and I am sure the warmth is there for any September morning.

As with my previous Pnuma purchases their products once again fits and performs as advertised! Always top of the line comfort, fit, and performance in the field is what their products provide for me and I love it! Won’t be purchasing form any other company so long as they keep up the phenomenal production of high quality hunting clothing and accessories!

I have had this jacket for over a year now and It is my favorite jacket. Besides wearing it hunting, I also wear it on a daily basis during the colder months in Alabama. This is a very warm jacket and I usually get hot, rather than cold.

Love this jacket. Great design and warm for early/midseason hunts. For late season hunts it makes the perfect layer under the Highpount jacket. Super comfortable. Very impressed w Pnuma lineup.

Does this jacket have a hole for a tree stand arrest system connection? If not then it is definitely not bowhunter friendly and someone didn’t do their homework. It looks comfortable and I’m glad it has a hood.

Love this jacket. Gonna work well in the field , looking forward to putting it to work.

I have several pieces of the Pnuma gear and are very pleased with it. wind proof, water proof, and quite. I love the patterns as well. I live in Michigan and have used the gear here, in canada, BC and kodiak island. I am looking forward to purchasing the vintis suit.

Great jacket. Highly recommend

Its a well made nice feeling jacket but not great for archery whitetail in my opinion. The face fabric is quite loud so it didnt exactly address my needs.

I just left 2 stars for the Alpha Vertex coat with a detailed and, I thought, helpful review. I have the previous generation of this line (the Insulator) so I can do a direct comparison, and I feel the new Alpha Vertex coat is a downgrade from the last gen. I figured this would be helpful to customers buying from Outlet as well as constructive criticism for Pnuma, if they are interested in improving the line with customer feedback who actively hunt. I took several minutes to make a detailed review because I appreciated how I have been treated at Pnuma in the past.

Now I refresh the page and my review is not shown on the product page. My 5-star review for a different piece of gear, however, displays no problem.

I sincerely hope that Pnuma are not filtering out the negative reviews. I love all my OTHER Pnuma gear and have recommended them to others, this coat was just a "miss" for them. Not to mention the customer service has always been phenomenal. But if they are filtering out bad reviews that may have been my last Pnuma order, I just won't deal with any company that way. Hopefully that is not the case and this was an honest mistake or computer glitch.

This jacket fits nicely. Can't wait for the temp to drop so I can put it to use.

This jacket is awesome, fit is perfect! I’m 6’2” and I wear a XL it has a slim look, but plenty of room to move. I think it is a great add to my archery wear gear..

I purchased the vertex pants and was very impressed with those. So I fully expect the same performance from the jacket, which is minimal bulk, and comfort down to the mid 20’s.

Great kaclet. The sleves and cuffs are made for the bow hunter, close to the arm. It is amazingly warm for the thickness. Overall great jacket

This is a great jacket, warm & comfortable, moves well. My one complaint is that it doesn’t have a slot to put my harness through. If it’s made for the bow hunter I feel like it definitely should like my waypoint jacket and vest. That is the reason for 4 stars, but still an awesome jacket!

Need more pockets
Pant need left back pocket

I bought this in hopes I would need or use it during late season archery elk in Colorado; however, the jacket was a bit heavy and I never got the opportunity to wear it. I will be wearing this jacket a lot during my wife's late season Trophy deer hunt (December) and archery whitetail hunt in Ohio (November). This jacket will be perfect for that colder weather were I will be sitting a lot to glass and sitting in a blind.

Incredibly warm for as light as it is.

Without question, one of the most comfortable jackets in my arsenal, a perfect mid layer for colder hunts and great for cool mornings and windy 40-50 degree weather. This jacket exceeded my expectations in every category and is built extremely well, in the normal Pnuma fashion. I like it so well that I am now considering a pair of matching pants to use in the same way as the Jacket, except the pants are only offered in camo, something Pnuma should remedy when possible. A must for those that think they have everything and works very well on the casual side as well. I rate this product a 5 and would highly recommend it for the purposes mentioned. Another superior Pnuma product for sure!

Love this piece! It’s breathable and will work as a great layering piece when the temps drop. True to fit. I’m ready for the matching pants next!

Warm but breathable. Blocks wind really well. It actually beaded up water pretty well during the rain storm before the April blizzard we got. The jacket is more form fitting. Which is good for bow hunting. I wish it was a little longer though. At 5'9" 190lbs, the large fits well but I think the large tall would be better. Overall, another great piece from Pnuma.

This jacket is super comfortable, but I do feel that this jacket should be included with the seilkirk as the perfect parka combo.

Very comfortable and versatile, works great over a hoodie or light weight jacket! Very happy with the product and would definitely recommend!

I love the snugness of the arms. Great for early season bow and fits perfectly under my Waypoint jacket.

This became my favorite piece in my layering system after the first time I wore it.

I love the fit of this jacket. I run my base layer and a vest underneath I am plenty warm in November here in Minnesota. I like its no bulky packs down nicely. Great product!

When getting it I thought it was pretty thin, being from MI, but using it in Ohio 28 degree morning bow hunts I was surprised it did do the job for how it looked, I did have the Selkirk outfit over it, because in Ohio this jacket would be shredded. I personally might cut off the hood because bow hunting it’s to loud and hard to hear, but I’m not a hood man. And don’t need 2 hoods w the Selkirk hood. All in all it did for medium bow hunting weather, which is what I got it for,

It has finally cooled off for me to wear the Alpha Vertex jacket. It was perfect for the 40-50 degree weather without layering. As it gets cooler, I will wear some layers to help.

The large pockets are a bonus.
