Chaqueta Alpha Lightweight Hombre

Incredibly light & packable piece of kit. Great harness compatibility. Excellent fit & the features a climbing jacket needs. Half the weight of my previous “light” shell & packs down to nothing. Can not yet speak to long-term durability, but kudos to Arc for this layer. Fills a gaping niche in the alpine climbing shells.

I really like the jacket and it's my go-to jacket for everything. I use it every day. But not so much for climbing or other types of mountain sports. It certainly serves its purpose for that too. It is waterproof and windproof - as it should be. But to really use it for mountaineering, it lacks a few small details and is absolutely no substitute for my Alpha FL from 2020. I'd rather take care of the Alpha FL and only use it in the rarest of cases. Even though I bought the current Alpha so that I wouldn't really have to use the FL from back then. The current model will not be able to do justice to or replace the FL in any way. Too bad, because that's exactly what I bought it for.

Great shell for its intended purpose. For a climbing shell this is a pretty great shell. If youre looking to wear a rain shell out in the city this is probably not the one for you. The jacket is super lightweight and the packability is great. The Jacket runs slightly on the larger end in my opinion. I mostly wear medium in arc shells and this one is a little baggy. It’s good for layering but overall I felt it was a bit “looser” than what I am used too. I tried on the small but it was way too small so I stuck with the medium.

I love this new super light shell. The hadron face fabric is incredibly tough and will not wear out easily. It repels water with the same vigour that we have all come to expect from Arc shells. I used to own the Beta Hadron LT and this is a perfect replacement, but with even more climbing features. It doesn't have pockets around the hip bones so you will not get chaffing with a harness on. It's the perfect shell for summer rock and alpine.

Une veste adaptée aux exigences climatiques ( fraicheur, pluie légère) qui est très compacte, légère et malgré tout résistante. Je suis variaient très satisfait de ce produit dont la couleur est superbe en bleu.

Great lightweight jacket, use it for alpine climbing and ski mountaineering. It runs very big though! I have been a medium in Arc'Teryx for the past 10 years and had to get a small in this for it to feel like all of the other medium jackets I have owned.

I recently took the Arc’teryx Alpha LT on a five-day hike through Germany, where the weather kept me on my toes with its constant shifts between heavy rain and cold wind. With a 23kg backpack and daily ascents of around 500 meters, this jacket proved to be an indispensable companion. Comfort was paramount during this rigorous trek, and the Alpha LT delivered admirably. Its design allowed me to layer comfortably underneath without feeling bulky, yet it remained streamlined when worn over just a base layer. The jacket's breathability was a standout feature, enabling me to regulate my temperature effectively by simply adjusting the sleeve openings. The hood proved its worth, offering excellent coverage and adjustability even without a helmet beneath. Whether I was battling wind-driven rain or brisk gusts, the hood stayed securely in place, enhancing the overall protection provided by the jacket. In terms of performance, the Alpha LT lived up to its reputation. It shielded me from the elements without compromise, allowing me to focus on the hike rather than worrying about staying dry and warm. The Tatsu color added a stylish touch to the ensemble, earning compliments along the trail. Overall, the Arc’teryx Alpha LT is a stellar performer that lives up to its promises. It’s a reliable choice for adventurers tackling dynamic conditions, providing comfort, breathability, and protection in equal measure.

Great product, best jacket I've owned. Would recc to anyone.

Great jacket but there’s no pockets for your hands! This is obviously my fault for not paying close enough attention . The jacket is great, it’s so light and pack able, easily toss in a bag and pull out when needed. This jacket just seems versatile. The chest pocket is nice, no pockets on the inside so chest is it. Truly it’s a great jacket and the blue color pops just wish it had hand pockets.

I was looking for a lighter shell to supplement my Beta SV, which I use in cold weather, with something lighter and more form fitting for warm weather. - This fills that gap. If you prefer to have the hip pockets and a little bit quieter material, the beta lightweight may be a better option.

Lovely jacket. If there could be a similar model with pitzip this would be perfect
