Product description

A hardshell jacket for alpinists

The Alpha SV Jacket from Arc’teryx sets a high standard for technical outdoor clothing, delivering high performance in the most extreme conditions. It combines the highest quality and functionality and is the perfect choice for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a jacket that can be worn in extreme environments.

Waterproof and windproof GORE-TEX Pro outer material

The jacket is made of the GORE-TEX Pro material, which has waterproof, windproof and breathability properties. This three-layer material keeps you dry, even in the most adverse weather conditions.

Equipped with waterproof zips

All zips are waterproof to prevent moisture from penetrating. This keeps you dry even in heavy rain or snow.

Durable

The Alpha SV Jacket has a very durable design to meet the demands of mountaineers, skiers and adventurers. The tough materials guarantee long-lasting performance. Plus, critical areas of the jacket are reinforced for enhanced durability and abrasion resistance.

StormHood fits over helmets

It features an innovative StormHood that fits over helmets and offers excellent protection against the elements without restricting your view. Plus, it has adjustable drawstrings that allow you to customise the fit.

Climbing harness-compatible design

The jacket is designed to be compatible with climbing harnesses, making it ideal for demanding mountain tours. The fit is designed to allow freedom of movement without compromising functionality.

With ventilation slits under the arms

The jacket has ventilation slits under the arms to regulate your body temperature. These can be opened whenever you need to quickly cool down.

Adjustable cuffs and hem for a good fit and more comfort

The cuffs and hem of the jacket are adjustable to help improve the fit and offer additional protection from the elements.

Versatile pockets for stowing equipment

The hardshell jacket is also equipped with several pockets, including chest pockets and inner pockets to securely store your valuables.

RECCO reflector for faster detection in avalanches

The RECCO reflector makes you visible to the rescue services. RECCO reflectors are lightweight, passive transponders that operate without energy or activation. They consist of a diode and an antenna. A RECCO detector can be used by the rescue team to locate the position of the buried victim as accurately as possible.

Best waterproof jacket I have ever owned

I've switched from the Alpha AR to the Alpha SV because the AR just didn't seem durable enough to withstand the abuse of climbing.

I haven't used the SV for long enough to properly assess it's durability, but the fabric feels like I've made the right choice: thick (100 denier GTX Pro is, to my knowledge, among the thickest/most durable you can buy) and with a rubbery feel that just makes the jacket feel bombproof.

So far, I have used the jacket on a couple of ice climbing trips, as well as on a couple of days of winter hiking.

It has performed very well so far.

Yes, the high denier fabric makes it somewhat less breathable/more sweaty when working hard uphill, but when the wind is howling and the rain is pouring down. you'll be glad that you have the SV to retreat into. Plus, with the right layering system (I currently use the Mountain Equipment Redline long sleeve baselayer under a Polartec 100 Micro Fleece, with the SV on top), you don't get that clammy feel that plague hard shells.

So, the Arcteryx Alpha SV is very good at keeping the elements out, however, there are a couple of negative points to make :

- the hood is absolutely humongous: it's way too big and it's pretty much impossible to cinch it down tight enough when you're not wearing a helmet, so in high winds you'll get a lot of flapping
- the zipper is only single way: I understand that most users would put their hard shell on at the beginning of the day (so under their harnesses), but in the UK it's not uncommon for the weather to suddenly turn from blue skies to rain, so it would be nice if you could throw the jacket over your harness and still be able to belay

Other than those two points, I'm happy that I've switched to the Alpha SV and it will be my hard shell of choice for the foreseeable future
