Venturing out into the mountains on alpine expeditions and adventures means coming up against extreme weather conditions that are prone to change, and a range of terrains that will put your abilities and skills to the test. Arc'teryx have updated their Alpha SV Jacket to feature a 100D GORE-TEX® PRO ePE construction that is rugged in the face of relentless conditions, totally waterproof and impressively breathable, all whilst being lighter and stronger than before. This, paired with a windproof GORE® face fabric ensures you’ve got total protection for minimal weight and maximum durability.

The helmet-compatible StormHood™ now includes a low-profile RECCO® reflector hidden in the hood brim - an essential safety tool that aids with search and rescue in emergency situations. Equipped with Cohaesive™ hem adjustments that are easy to use even when wearing gloves or mittens, pits zips that offer easy ventilation when you’ve warmed up and Velcro®-adjustable cuffs to ensure total coverage no matter your position, the Alpha SV Jacket also provides plenty of pocket space from the inner security pocket or the two harness-compatible chest pockets, to the newly added internal dump pocket for stashing gloves, a beanie or sunglasses and a handy WaterTight™ zippered pocket on the left bicep.

Cut with a regular fit to allow ample layering beneath the jacket when temperatures demand, the Alpha SV Jacket from Arc'teryx leaves you free to develop skills, reach new heights and gain invaluable experiences during your time in the peaks.
