Alpha SV Bib - Men's

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SV Bib - Men's:

I've had a set of these bibs for well over ten years. Probably one of the first years of production. I also have blown out bibs from two other competitors over the years, but these just take a licking and keep on ticking. Recreationally I have used these for park and backcountry skiing, yurt to yurt trips and snowmobiling just to name a few. I also have used them in a working environment repairing yurts, cabins etc where you are abusing them and sweating like hell hauling stuff up to 10,500 ft. No comfort issues at all. I've also used them at my other job, driving an ambulance on the front range of Colorado. Winters can be brutal and when a big storm hits, the bibs come out. Long story/call short, had to hike in a quarter of a mile through 3.5 feet of snow carrying virtually the entire inside of the ambulance, making a path for my dimunitive partner to follow and then delivering a baby...all in my bibs. They clean up well with any brand of Gore-Tex cleaner and patches stick well to any abrasions. IF these ever fail me, I will definitely buy another pair. Hands down, the best product on the market.

These bibs are spectacular. I use them for almost everything because they are waterproof/breathable, comfortable, and tough.

These pants are simply amazing! I received them in a box that just seemed very small and i was skeptical. When i opened it i was amazed. Goretex pro shell is the way to go. These pants are extremely light weight, compact, and very durable. I have a pro shell jacket and that thing is bomb proof. I will be taking these pants up on mt Aconcagua (22,850 ft) next month. I love all the additions to them such as the removable knee pads, the way the pants hook to the boots and have grommets to make them built in gaiters. The chest pockets are perfect for your electronics and spare batteries. You will not be let down with these pants I can guarantee you that!

Lived in these on Denali last spring, and did a Presi traverse in them in January. I usually end up wet and clammy inside a hard shell after a long day of alpine climbing, but not in these. They are very breathable and the venting options make them even more so. Very durable, and plenty of pockets. Knee pads are a nice bonus, keep your knees from freezing when kneeling on snow/ice for long periods -- I wish more bibs offered this option, but frankly I'm done looking -- extremely happy with these. They are even relatively light compared to similar hardshell pants/bibs.
