Product Details
Description:
When you're looking to do some tough climbing in soggy conditions, it's time to beef up your protection from the elements with the Alpha SL Jacket from ARCTERYX. Extremely light and technically advanced, 2-layer GORE-TEX PacLite keeps you dry and comfortable without bogging you down with weight; plus, when you don't need it, pack it down small - into its own pocket.

Features:

  • Heavy, cumbersome fabric is a thing of the past with GORE-TEX PacLite material that protects you from moisture no matter what
  • You won't get wet via the laminated front-zip - or any of the zippers for that matter; front, pit, and pocket zippers are all WaterTight
  • Keep extra little essentials dry in the laminated hand pockets
  • If you intend to climb, have no worries with the helmet-compatible Speed Hood
  • Don't get chilled because of moisture around your wrists, chin, and hemline thanks to the laminated chinguard, die-cut Velcro cuffs, and hem with drawcord and one hand pull cords
  • You won't be carrying around extra fabric at the seams, no more than 1.6 mm of fabric extends beyond the seams - saving you several ounces of weight in fabric

Specifications:

  • Weight: 12 ounces
  • Fabric: 2-layer GORE-TEX PacLite

This is an amazing jacket. Since I got it I actually look forward to having reason to be out in the rain in it, be it hiking or just running around town. Would recommend it to anyone.

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's:

The paclite is more durable than it looks. On Algunquin and other East-Coast hills it performed superbly - blocking wind on pit-stops and blocking rain, without internal fog, when it started raining hard. The ventilation is Arcteryx-worth, and the lack of bells and whistles proves supreme every time you roll it into your bag, and then out in two seconds. Another ace from the Arc.

Fall Winter Spring Jacket...

Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Bottom Line:

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's:

my second Alpha SL. First one is like 6 years old and has been worn at work in Puyallup Wa over dress shirts to Crystal Mtn over a softshell. Have owned alot of different pieces from Arcteryx. The Alpha SL has always been a go to jacket that I can quickly use as a rain or wind block. This new Atlantis color is somewhat toned down from the picture. Happy with the classy and subdued look. Will look good on the mountain. Wife has wore hers extensively too. So many uses.

Pros:
Durable, High Quality
Cons:
Expensive
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's:

The weight and protection offered for users in the southern states is appreciated when the weather turns from a mild autumn day to a raging cold front with horizontal rain and rapidly falling temperatures.
