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.

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

★★★★★

5.0

"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 conveni …" Read Full Review »
