The Arc'teryx Alpha AR Jacket is the ideal combination of durability, extreme weather protection, and lightweight versatility. Heavy rainstorms and blizzards don't stand a chance vs the Alpha AR's helmet compatible Stormhood™ and premium Gore-Tex Pro laminate, while the harness-compatible hems and e3D patterning make the Alpha AR ideal for a wide range of alpine and climbing pursuits in any weather.
N80p-X GORE-TEX Pro | 80-Denier 100% Plain Weave Nylon – Developed in conjunction with W.L. GORE, a project five years in the making results in an exceptionally durable plain weave nylon face with high resistance to abrasion. Dense construction minimizes the exposure of yarns to abrasive contact, reducing damage to filaments and maintaining surface integrity. A durable micro-grid woven backer reduces weight and is also highly abrasion resistant. DWR Finish.
N40r-X GORE-TEX® Pro | 40-Denier 100% Nylon Mini-Ripstop – Custom developed with W.L. Gore and exclusive to Arc'teryx, N40r-X features exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Its carefully selected yarns and dense construction limit fiber breakage under abrasion providing long lasting snow and water shedding capabilities. DWR Finish.
GORE-TEX Pro – Durably waterproof, windproof, and extremely breathable. Garments made with GORE-TEX Pro combine comfort with reliable weather protection, even during extended activities in extreme weather. Made to meet the high demands of (ski) mountaineers, freeriders, mountain guides, and serious outdoor enthusiasts.
Trim Fit – Trim fitting garments share motion-friendly traits with Athletic fit, but are patterned with lower volume for reduced bulk. Trim fit is sized for a base layer and a trim synthetic or down filled mid-layer.
e3D Patterning – Ergonomic 3-Dimensional patterning that brings an additional level of articulation to provide enhanced range-of-motion.
