The Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket is designed for ladies who are trying to climb any time. Bad weather? No problem, the super lightweight and compact construction is paired with fully taped seams and waterproofing. Having unrestricted mobility is necessary when you're cruxing hard; that is why the Alpha SL is equipped with climb-friendly features such as a helmet compatible StormHood™, Hemlock™ harness blocker and articulation throughout. This jacket is also great as a packable emergency storm jacket for alpine or multi-pitch climbing because it takes up less than 1L of space and can be clipped to your harness for quick access. When the fun is done, the Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket can be worn to keep you comfortable on your journey back home.

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.
