Peak Performance drops its updated Alpine GORE-TEX Shell

October 02, 2026

Peak Performance is releasing an updated version of its Alpine GORE-TEX C-Knit 3L Jacket and Pants, marking 17 years of continual development.

Originally developed alongside ski guides and mountain rescue teams, the Alpine is built to endure and thrive in the harshest environments where adaptability, uncompromising weather protection and mobility matter the most.

The jacket uses a 3L GORE-TEX C-Knit shell with a stretch panel across the upper back for unrestricted movement, while underarm zips provide ventilation to regulate temperature during fluctuating activity levels. There’s also a built-in radio pocket with antenna exit, a helmet-compatible hood, two-way front zip and a removable powder skirt that snaps into the pants for seamless weather protection.

The 3L GORE-TEX C-Knit shell pants get full-length ventilation zips, making it possible to dump heat without taking the pants off, plus Cordura reinforcement around the lower legs for added durability. There’s also an integrated RECCO reflector, snow gaiters and a range of well-thought-out pockets.

Both pieces use GORE-TEX’s ePE membrane without intentionally added PFAS, alongside recycled polyamide components.

The Alpine is about taking a proven setup and packing in the features that actually matter when you’re spending a full day outside the resort boundary: weather protection, ventilation, mobility and equipment compatibility.
