The Arc’teryx Alpha SV Jacket is Arc'teryx's premier mountaineering hard shell and has been designed to withstand the toughest conditions in the harshest environments. Made using GORE-TEX Pro 3L, the Alpha SV jacket is breathable, extremely waterproof and highly abrasion resistant.
| GORE-TEX® Pro | Provides the highest level of durable waterproof/breathable performance available. GORE® Micro Grid Woven Backer delivers garments that are consistently the lightest and most compact in the industry. GORE-TEX® Pro has a sparsely woven nylon backer that is twice as durable as traditional tricot liners and allows moisture vapour to pass quickly through to the GORE-TEX® membrane. |
| N80p-X GORE-TEX® Pro 3L | Developed in conjunction with GORE, a project 5 years in the making results in 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 finish. |
| DWR | A finish applied to a fabric that will bead-up water on its surface to stop it soaking into the fibres. This maintains breathability and shortens drying times Expedition fit:
Has a larger cut that accommodates multiple layers without binding or restricting movement.
|
| E3D patterning | Ergonomical 3-Dimensional patterning brings an additional level of articulation to provide enhanced mobility. E3D refers to an allowance in the garment patterning to provide extra gusseting and/or articulation in key joint areas to allow for maximum movement. |
| WaterTight™ | The world’s first WaterTight™ zippers to pass the W.L. GORE® extreme wet weather test. |
| HemLock | Found on many of Arc'teryx's climbing jackets, it prevents your jacket riding up thanks to a feature that lets you clip the hem to your harness. |
