Alpha SV Jacket Men's

a classic piece recreated using exceptionally durable, n80p-x gore-tex® pro fabric that is extremely waterproof and abrasion resistant. e3d patterning creates an ergonomic fit for extra ease of movement paired with an athletic fit leaves room for winter layering. traditional bellowed, crossover pockets remain accessible while wearing a pack. the helmet compatible stormhood™, drawcords and pit zippers all adjust with one hand and the removable hemlock™ inserts keep the jacket in position when worn underneath a climbing harness.

respect the classics

the alpha sv first appeared in 1998 to address the needs of alpinists for a lightweight, streamlined, waterproof jacket that could work with a harness. hard-wearing, stripped down and unlike anything else at the time, the alpha sv quickly became an iconic arc'teryx piece and revolutionized the outdoor apparel industry.

simply technical

simple, sleek and stylish, the alpha sv is also a technical beast. traditional bellowed crossover pockets sit high and work with harness and packs; helmet compatible stormhood™ cinches tight and covers the neck, head and lower face; removable hemlock™ inserts keep jacket in position while in use with a harness; watertight™ zippers seal out weather.

supple, yet bulletproof

manufactured with a new n80p-x gore-tex® face fabric five years in development, the alpha sv jacket retains its remarkable durability, yet is supple and quiet. engineered to shed water, snow and resist abrasion, the textile is tightly woven to create a flat smooth face. premium gore-tex® pro delivers the highest degree of windproof, waterproof/breathable protection.

room to manoeuvre

arc'teryx designs are functional, disciplined answers to unforgiving environments. constantly refined over time to improve function, the landmark alpha sv now has a reduced chest circumference and has been re-patterned for a closer fit, with more efficient arm movement.
