The Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket is the company's most durable GORE-TEX® Pro jacket and has led the industry since its introduction. A new GORE-TEX® Pro N80p-X face fabric, under development for 5 years, offers a softer hand and greatly improved breathability. The Athletic e3D patterning provides room for three layers while keeping your movement as unfettered as possible. WaterTight™ pit zippers allow you to vent heat quickly when the need arises. Arguably the best hardshell in the world for serious mountaineering and winter snowsports, the Arc'teryx Alpha SV is in a class by itself.
N80p-X GORE-TEX® Pro Fabric – This fabric offers an exceptionally durable plain weave nylon face with high resistance to abrasion. Dense construction minimizes the exposure of yarns to abrasive contact, reducing damage to filaments and maintaining surface integrity. A durable micro-grid woven backer reduces weight and is also highly abrasion resistant. DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
GORE-TEX – Guaranteed to Keep You Dry. The GORE-TEX membrane is an extremely thin layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). It has over 9 billion pores per square inch, large enough to let water vapor exit but small enough to prevent liquid water from entering.
Athletic Fit – These complex patterns utilize anatomical shaping and gussets to enhance motion and eliminate excess bulk.
e3D – Ergonomic 3-Dimensional patterning brings an additional level of articulation to provide an enhanced range of motion. This provides extra gusseting and/or articulation in key joint areas.
Two Large Bellowed Chest Pockets
One Internal Pocket
One Sleeve Pocket
WaterTight™ Pit Zippers – These permit rapid ventilation when you start to heat up.
StormHood™ – Helmet-compatible hood rotates without blocking your vision.
HemLock™ – Hem drawcord and HemLock™ removable inserts prevent the jacket from slipping out from underneath your climbing harness.
