For absolute weather protection during full-on alpine expeditions, the Alpha SV jacket features Gore-Tex® Pro Shell fabric.

  • Gore-Tex 3L Pro Shell fabric is tough, extremely breathable and durably water- and windproof; high-wear areas are reinforced for extra durability
  • Gore Micro Grid lining is a thin, low-denier, low-density woven fabric that allows the shell to slide easily over mid layers
  • Reduced number and thickness of seams offers improved abrasion and snag-resistance, enhanced breathability and decreased weight
  • Storm Hood™ with brim fits over your climbing helmet; 1-hand-adjustable cinch optimizes visibility
  • Exposed pit zips and pockets provide instant venting control; water-tight zippers eliminate need for bulky double-zipper flaps
  • Laminated, stitchless hem and waist drawcords
  • Laminated chin guard features quick-drying fleece for comfort
  • Elastic cuffs with laminated, die-cut, rip-and-stick closures
  • Hip-length design features a reinforced droptail back for extended wear; removable HemLock keeps the jacket from lifting out of a harness during climbs
  • Gusseted underarms ensures jacket stays in place when you lift your arms overhead; articulated elbows add comfort
  • Features high-volume chest pockets, 2 internal stretch pockets and 1 zippered sleeve pocket carry small essentials

Imported.

    Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's:

    I use this jacket mostly for mountaineering in winter conditions in the Rocky Mountains. The Alpha SV does a great job of protecting me from 60mph winds and blowing snow on ridgelines, but is also a great outer layer for a casual day at a ski resort as well. The pockets are easy to reach and conveniently placed, and the jacket itself is very adjustable. The vents under the arms work well and are easy to open/close.
    My only complaint is that you can't unzip it from the bottom which would be nice for situations when I'm tied in to a rope, but other than that, it's a great product.

    Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's:

    I use this jacket for skiing in the NW. It is very light weight and totally waterproof. (so far) It's the best jacket I've ever owned. The weight to protection ratio (ultra light) is like nothing I've ever worn. (North Face, Marmot, Mountain Hardware and Burton) The collar is quite high and great when it's really blowing but there isn't really a way to keep it out of the way when you don't want it zipped all the way up. I suspect that when the coat gets a bit more broken in the collar will relax. It's a minor thing and wouldn't keep me from buying another one, but good to note. The jacket is cut for an athletic build. I am 6"2" and 205 pounds. I wear a large and it fits me just the way I think it should. Snug but not too tight or constrictive. I wear a base and middle layer only with this jacket. Length (torso and arms) for me is perfect.
