ARCTERYX Alpha LT Jacket - Men's Aztec
ARCTERYX Alpha LT Jacket - Men's Lichen

Product Details
Description:
Lightweight, decked-out, waterproof, and ultra-breathable, the Alpha LT Jacket from ARCTERYX is all you could want in a hardshell jacket, and more. Constructed with 3 layers of waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX laminate, this hip-length, hooded shell protects both you and your small gear from cold, wet downpours.

Features:

  • Not a single drop of water will chill your core from the outside - or the inside - GORE-TEX 3 layer shell uses microporous technology that lets water vapor out without letting liquid water in
  • You needn't be worried about chill breezes - the hip length cut and drop tail hem along with no-lift underarms have you covered
  • Seal out wind and water - laminated, die-cut Velcro cuffs, quick-dry chin guard, and one-handed pull cord laminated hem seal in your internal microclimate
  • Zip up and stay dry - WaterTight pocket, pit, and front zips with zipper garages won't let moisture through
  • Store your GPS, solar charger, and MP3 player in the laminated internal chest pocket or dual crossover hand pockets
  • Reduce the weight you carry - 1/16th inch micro seam allowances are 1/4 the weight of most jackets, then secured with GORE micro seam tape for durability
  • Secure your noggin, even over a helmet - the helmet-compatible Speed Hood holds off water without blocking your view
  • On warmer days in the lodge, you'll appreciate the laminated, high-strength hangar loop

Specifications:

  • Weight: 12.9 ounces
  • Fabric: nylon
  • Waterproofing: GORE-TEX 3-layer laminate

I used this jacket while skiing the back country in Gunnison, Colorado.It didn't let me down. Then i used it ice climbing in the Adirondacks. Again it was awesome. Its durable, waterproof, and can take whatever you throw at it. Best hardshell i own for sure.

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha LT Technical Shell Jacket - Men's:

I wanted something a little longer but lightweight jacket, and I'm so happy I picked this jacket. They are so lightweight yet packs very small. Waterproofness is excellent, though it seems the durability is in question as time goes (usually where my backpack shoulder straps are...) My complaint is lack of pockets, it has two pockets on breath which doesn't work as hand pocket in colder days. There's a pocket inside, which is just big enough for the wallet or gps. I'm also glad it's long enough to cover my hip area, and I noticed the other day that I can wear it over my biz attire. Overall I'm glad I bought it.

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha LT Technical Shell Jacket - Men's:

Was in Olympic National Park for 3 days. It rained the entire time. It was light and durable. It kept me dry and warm. Wind insulation is also great. It was a little moist inside of my jacket but that may have been from condensation since I was hiking the whole time in pouring rain. It was fairly waterproof but throughout the hike the water would stop beading off my jacket and the fabric looked soaked but I still felt warm. All in all I would buy this product again for most occasions.

i've been a patagoniac for years, so it took a lot for me to try something else. this shell is amazing, comparable if not better than patagonia's alpine hard shells

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha LT Technical Shell Jacket - Men's:

I use this jacket everywhere. Summers in Alaska, winter in Michigan, fall in New Hampshire . . . It's a bombproof shell that packs smaller than it has any right to, I keep it in my messenger bag during the school year.
On thing to be aware of is the location of the chest pockets; they're not hand warmer pockets and are accessed on the opposite side, i.e. right hand for the left chest, and vice versa.
Also, the titanium is a great color, and the version I have was made in Canada.

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha LT Technical Shell Jacket - Men's:

This jacket is unbelievable. Not only will it keep you dry in the most horrendous rainstorms. But it also prevents rain from ever coming while you are outside. All of Georgia is under water right now due to excessive rain and flooding and i have yet to need to where my jacket. Everytime I need to go outside it stops raining. Incredible. :)

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha LT Technical Shell Jacket - Men's:

After two months of dry weather in the Sacred Valley near Cusco Peru. We did the 4:30am hike into Machu Pichu to ensure we saw an early day, it rained. And it rained hard. Everyone was wearing PVC ponchos and I had to run back to the hotel soaked to get this jacket. Durring my fun from the Hotel to the group the jacket was breathable beyond belief, kept me dry (although I was mostly soaked already) and was super durrable in the mud and rock. Once we got to shelter my jacket was the first one of the group to dry and once I dried out it kept me super dry for the rest of the day. Amazingly impressed with ProShell while Paclite of others wetted out.
