Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket - Women's

Product Descriptions

REI Description: If better weather protection equals more fun, the Arc'teryx Alpha SV jacket should prepare you for off-the-charts outdoor excitement with its performance-oriented waterproof, breathable coverage. 3-layer Gore-Tex(R) Pro Shell fabric is tough, extremely breathable and durably water- and windproof; high-wear areas are reinforced for extra durability. Gore Micro Grid lining is a thin, low-denier, low-density woven fabric that allows the shell to slide easily over mid layers. Storm Hood(TM) with brim fits over your climbing helmet; 1-hand-adjustable cinch optimizes visibility. Exposed pit zips and pockets provide instant venting control; water-tight zippers eliminate need for bulky flaps. Hip-length design features a reinforced droptail back for extended wear; removable HemLock(TM) inserts hold jacket in place under a harness;. Laminated chin guard features quick-drying fleece for comfort. Gusseted underarm ensures jacket stays in place when arms are lifted overhead; articulated elbows improve fit and comfort. Arc'teryx Alpha SV features 2 high-volume chest pockets, 2 internal stretch pockets and 1 zippered sleeve pocket for securing essentials. Expedition fit anticipates the need for extensive layering with extra volume through the body.

Backcountry Description: The 'SV' in the name of the Arc'teryx Women's Alpha SV Jacket stands for Severe Weather, so you can rest assured that it's ready for prolonged use in the harshest of weather conditions. The new Gore-Tex N80p-X Gore-Tex shell fabric offers guaranteed waterproof breathable protection without feeling stiff or crinkly under your harness or pack. Batten down the hatches (or in this case, the adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem) and ride out the storm in comfort.
