Question 1

is it waterproof or water resistant

Rick, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, thank you for your question. The Alpha SV Jacket is waterproof. It is built with GORE‑TEX PRO technology and is designed to provide durable waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection in severe mountain weather conditions. We hope this helps.

Question 2

¿Qué valores de transpirabilidad ofrece? (agradecería que fuera en RET). Gracias de antemano.  Saludos desde España

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hola, Fran, gracias por tu pregunta. Nosotros no asignamos un índice numérico de transpirabilidad a nuestras prendas, ya que las pruebas habituales (como el RET) pueden variar mucho en función de las condiciones ambientales y no reflejan de forma fiable el uso en la vida real. Dicho esto, la Chaqueta Alpha SV está diseñada para ofrecer protección contra las inclemencias meteorológicas con transpirabilidad para uso alpino. Su construcción 3L GORE-TEX PRO ePE permite que el vapor de humedad se escape al tiempo que mantiene el rendimiento impermeable y cortavientos, y las cremalleras bajo las axilas proporcionan una ventilación rápida cuando cambian las condiciones o el cuerpo se calienta.

Question 3

Is it possible to get just one colour like black?

Hi Walker, thank you for your inquiry. We currently have the Alpha SV Jacket available in the 24K Black colourway, which features a black body with a gold‑stitched Arc’teryx logo. If you’re looking to stay updated on future releases in black or other upcoming colourways, we recommend signing up for our newsletter.

Question 4

Is there a way to store/secure the hood when not in use? I rarely am helmeted and often in heavy undergrowth. Don’t want it catching on foliage but I only see drawstrings and no way to roll/stow it…

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Alpha SV Jacket does not feature a stowable hood design. To help keep the hood secure when not in use, we would recommend tightening the StormHood so it sits as close to the body as possible. This can help reduce movement and minimize the chance of it catching on foliage. We hope this helps!

Question 5

I have lost weight and would like my Alpha SV Jacket tailored. Do you do this?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your question. Arc'teryx does not offer any tailoring services at the moment. While a third-party tailor may be able to assist, we do not recommend altering your Alpha SV Jacket. Please note that any unauthorized modification or alteration, including anything done outside of Arc’teryx Customer Service, is not covered by our Limited Warranty and will void the Limited Warranty of your jacket.

Question 6

Will the Alpha SV be getting a two-way zipper? I see the revised Beta SV has gotten one, as well as even the Alpha SL. People have wanted this for years ...

Luna · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your question. At this time, we don't have details on whether the Alpha SV Jacket will be getting a two-way main zipper. We hear you, and our team is always exploring new designs to meet the needs of our guests. We’ll make sure your feedback reaches our design team, and we really appreciate your input. To stay up to date on new products, we recommend signing up for our newsletter to be notified about upcoming product drops.

Question 7

I have bought my new Alpha SV for wet, although not necessarily cold, weather hiking.  The jacket fit is great other than the hood, which is too baggy and drops too low over my eyes.  The drawstrings just make it worse.  Any suggestions?

Hi Paul, thank you so much for your question and for checking out the Alpha SV Jacket! This jacket is built for maximum durability and weather protection in demanding alpine conditions. Its helmet-compatible StormHood™ offers full coverage without limiting visibility when wearing a helmet. When worn without a helmet, the hood can feel roomy. To improve the fit, try adjusting the back upper, lower rear, and lower front hood drawcords. This helps lift the hood and keep your line of sight clear. If you prefer a GORE-TEX shell with a more streamlined hood for hiking, the Beta Jacket is a great option. It’s our most versatile shell and features a low-profile StormHood™ with a quick pull that adjusts quickly for coverage while maintaining visibility. Hope this helps, and happy hiking!

Question 8

Is this jacket can resist at -40c? Because in North of  Québec  it can be very very cold? Thanks

Seymour · Accepted Answer

Hi Gino, thanks for reaching out. We do not rate our jackets for specific temperatures, as warmth can vary significantly depending on factors such as wind, humidity, activity level, layering, and individual comfort. The Alpha SV Jacket is an uninsulated hardshell designed to provide weather protection rather than warmth, so staying comfortable in very cold conditions will depend on layering appropriate insulation underneath. We recommend reviewing our layering guide for general tips on building a system of dress best suited to cold environments. https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/shop/layering-guide/

Question 9

QUE COLUMNA DE AGUA SOPORTA

Luna · Accepted Answer

Hola Ángel, gracias por tu pregunta Todos nuestros artículos con GORE-TEX tienen una columna de agua de 28.000 mm. La Chaqueta Alpha SV emplea GORE-TEX PRO ePE 100d 3L para que sea muy duradera y aporte gran protección contra las inclemencias. ¡Esperamos que esto te ayude!

Question 10

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer
