The Sierra Gen II is Alpha Industries' long quilted parka, built for extreme cold with a nylon shell, nylon lining and polyester fill. It reaches below the knee at 43 inches in size S, and adds a hood with paracord, a full zip with a hidden snap placket, zippered side welt pockets, an inside zip pocket, a sleeve utility pocket and a bottom side zip for movement. It is water and wind resistant. Against shorter puffers it trades packability for coverage and warmth; the matte nylon and Alpha red ribbon give it a military-surplus look. Reviewers rate it highly for warmth and length, though some find it bulky and heavy for everyday city wear.
