Product Details
Description:
For truly epic adventures, the ARCTERYX Alpha SV Jacket utilizes GORE-TEX 3-layer Pro Shell waterproof fabric to provide total severe weather protection. Featuring the the Harness HemLock system and climber-friendly features, you'll be able to suit up and go without a second thought.

Features:

  • Incredibly lightweight and guaranteed to keep you dry, Tiny GORE seam taped GORE-TEX Pro Shell 3-layer fabric maintains true breathability and reinforced durability
  • Reach and stretch without getting a cold draft up your side - no lift gusseted underarms let you control you cool-down with laminated pit zips
  • Wear your helmet without getting your noggin soaked - helmet compatible storm hood and one-handed pull cords are easy to use and adjust
  • Seal out the cold on every front - Velcro cuffs with elastic, laminated waist and hem drawcords, and a drop back hem all protect your skin
  • When it warms up and dries out, pack it all into one of the the two high volume hand pockets - or store your essentials in the two chest pockets, single sleeve pocket, and two internal laminated pockets
  • Keep even the smallest of drips out - WaterTight zippers with molded zipper garages are practically impenetrable
  • Reinforced and articulated for extra wear and tear, the elbows last for climb after climb
  • Show your ARCTERYX pride without feeling the breeze - heat transfer logos don't leave small needle holes for water to sneak in through

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's:

Great hard shell. Mine was made in Canada vrs. the new ones coming out of China. With that in mind, the craftsmanship is bar none, the best. Love this shell and have not been able to find a flaw besides no hand pockets.

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's:

I have owned this shell for years, and while on the best days it never has to leave the pack because I make it back down before the storms roll in, it is an outstanding piece when you need it most. The fit is perfect for climbing- works well under a harness and pack. The material is burly yet light enough, and the new version is apparently even lighter and less crinkly/stiff than mine. I also own another old ArcTeryx jacket model- the AlphaComp- that I absolutely love. Waterproof shoulders and arms, with light softshell material everywhere else. That one works the opposite- it is hardly ever IN the pack...

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's:

I have had this jacket for 8 years and still holds up like the first day that I bought it. I'm sure some of the technology has changed through the years, but for the most part it is still the same, great jacket. I have owned a similar Mountain Hardware Jacket and this one blows that one out of the water. Highly recommended, Pricey but worth it. I have used it from the top of Mt. Rainier to the beach in the Bahamas, works great on every occasion.

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's:

I went to Ouray to climb and it rained non stop the entire day. As I was not going to give up on climbing, I kept climbing in heavy rain from 8am until 4pm. While my TNF Gore-Tex XCR bib finally let water sip through, the Alpha SV kept me dry and warm the entire day. Not one drop got through this incredible shell, despite the 8 non-stop hours of climbing in the rain. As the old saying goes "you get what you pay for". Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Every penny.

Comments about Arcteryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's:

I have the Gore-Tex XCR version and I had to switch up to the new Pro Shell version. This jacket is awesome. I loved the XCR version and the Pro Shell is lighter, burlier and breathes even better. I use this jacket constantly here in Pacific NW, from the coast to the cascades this jacket has been completely bulletproof. The cost is a bit much to justify but a few weekends ago I was backpacking along the dunes at the coast and while everyone elses jackets were wetting out the rain kept beading off mine and was completely unscathed tromping through the brush band.
