When the now-classic Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket debuted in 1998, it blew people's minds. Originally designed as a foul weather fortress for year-round alpinism, the jacket proved so durable and functional that people reasoned it would make a great ski coat as well. They were right. Over the years Arc'teryx has made improvements to the Alpha SV, including the welcome adoption of its highly breathable GORE-TEX® Pro membrane, but it still sits atop the pile in the bomber hardshell jacket category. If you spend a lot of time in the mountains and are used to taking a bit of weather in stride to meet your objectives, consider the Alpha SV an investment you won't regret.
N100p-X 3L GORE-TEX® Pro | 100% Nylon – 100-Denier Plain Weave Nylon. The highest strength to weight ratio we've ever seen. To create this fabric, Gore uses a proprietary yarn twisting and weaving process to greatly enhance the abrasion resistance and tear strength of these high tenacity nylon fibers. The enduring integrity of this face textile will ensure optimum performance in the most rugged conditions.
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.
Regular Fit – Cut comfortably from the body through bust/chest, waist, hip and thigh for a classic fit.
e3D™ Ergonomic 3-Dimensional Patterning – e3D™ patterning brings a new level of articulation and range-of-motion to Arc'teryx active fit garments. The application of e3D™ patterning allows for enhanced mobility for sport-specific activities in challenging environments.
