Venturing into the mountains often means coming face to face with extreme weather that’s prone to change and a variety of terrains that test your abilities. Arc’teryx’s Men’s Alpha Jacket is a versatile hardshell they have designed to tackle these challenges head on so you can develop skills, reach new heights and gain new experiences in the peaks. With its GORE-TEX® PRO Most Rugged technology that gives total wind- and waterproofing and a strong durable performance in wear-prone areas, and strategically placed 8mm GORE® seam tape, the Alpha also features a 3-layer Hadron® GORE-TEX® face fabric to provide more weatherproofing with less bulk and increased breathability, resulting in a hardwearing jacket that is lightweight, versatile and high-performance.

The helmet-compatible StormHood™ has a laminated brim to maintain visibility and shed water with Cohaesive™ hood adjustments that are easy to use even when wearing gloves or mittens, whilst the gusseted underarms, slightly dropped hem and Velcro®-adjustable cuffs ensure total coverage no matter your position, and pits zips offer easy ventilation when you’ve warmed up. Keep yourself and others safe with the RECCO® reflector that is hidden in the hood brim, a must-have addition to the jacket that offers aid in search and rescues should an emergency arise. There are plenty of pockets with water-resistant zippers, including an internal zippered pocket for anything you want to keep secure. Wherever the mountain trail takes you, the Men’s Alpha Jacket stands up to the test of extreme alpine environments.
