A top-of-the-line mountaineering and backcountry skiing jacket, the Arc'teryx Men's Alpha SV weighs just over a pound. The use of expedition-tough GORE-TEX Pro Shell fabric, WaterTight zippers, and laminated construction techniques all play a huge role in making the Alpha SV such a lightweight jacket despite its full-featured status. This new line of GORE-TEX is stronger and more breathable than ever before. Micro seam allowances and tiny GORE-TEX seam tape reduce bulk and weight, while also making this first-rate jacket surprisingly supple. WaterTight zippers eliminate the need for bulky, heavy flaps and the laminated construction pulls it all together without the need for fabric weakening stitches and the additional fabric needed to sew one section of fabric to another. Whether belaying from an awkward stance or skinning across a crevasse minefield, the removable HemLock keeps the jacket from creeping out from under your climbing harness. At the same time no-lift gusseted underarms and articulated elbows help the Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket remain comfortably positioned so you can focus on the task at hand.

Customer Reviews for the Men's Alpha SV Jacket

5 StarsZhang Pan - 2010-03-01

Great Shell!
This shell has everything you want without any needless extras. I have never gotten soaked through with this on, everything beads off. The fit of the jacket is also better than anything else I have tried on. The price tag is through the roof though, I waited till was marked down on sale. Arc'teryx can get away with selling it at price because no one else can match it.

Great Light jacket
It is so light that you wont feel it at all. Yet it keeps me dry during this storming season and it blocks nasty wind in S.F. I am 6', 180 lbs, wearing Alha SV with a T shirt and a thermal shirt underneath is plenty warm. Size large is perfect.
