Question 1

Is this jacket a good choice to go skiing?

Rick, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Yarmi, thank you for your question. The Alpha SV Jacket can be used for skiing and provides exceptional waterproof, windproof, and durable weather protection. However, it is designed primarily for severe alpine conditions and climbing, so it does not include some ski-specific features such as a powder skirt and has a slightly shorter cut than many dedicated ski jackets. If your primary use is skiing or snowboarding, we recommend exploring the Sabre or Rush collections, which are specifically designed with snowsports features and fit considerations in mind. We hope this helps.

Question 6

Bonjour, la coupe de cette veste irait elle à une homme ? Ou alors cela ne serait pas du tout adapté ? Je mesure 1m79 et pèse 72 kg, avec un physique sportif.

River · Accepted Answer

Bonjour, et merci pour votre question. Sans vos mensurations précises comme le tour de poitrine, de taille et de hanches, il est difficile de confirmer si la coupe femme de la veste Alpha SV vous conviendrait parfaitement. Les modèles pour femmes sont conçus avec une silhouette plus ajustée aux épaules et aux hanches, ce qui peut ne pas correspondre à une morphologie masculine. Cela dit, la veste Alpha SV est également disponible en version homme, avec une coupe pensée pour une carrure masculine, incluant des épaules plus larges et une taille plus droite. https://outlet.arcteryx.com/fr/fr/shop/mens/alpha-sv-jacket-7555

Question 8

how’s alpha sv compared to beta ar? Both are goretex pro? There is quite big price difference , I am trying to decide which one to buy!

Sophie · Accepted Answer

Hi, thanks for your question! Both jackets use GORE-TEX PRO, but the Alpha SV is specifically designed for extreme alpine conditions, which is why it features a higher denier count of N100d, making it ideal for tough expeditions where durability is key. The Beta AR, on the other hand, has a denier count of N40d, offering versatility for a range of outdoor activities like hiking and skiing. Your decision may depend on the conditions and activities you'll be using the jacket for.

Question 9

Is this jacket suitable for skiing?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, the Alpha SV Jacket is built to be our most durable GORE-TEX PRO shell, specifically designed for severe (SV) alpine conditions. As part of the Alpha Series, it’s focused on climbing and alpine activities. That said, it can absolutely be used for skiing. Just make sure to pair it with a proper base layer and mid-layer for optimal warmth and performance on the slopes. If you’re looking for gear designed specifically for skiing and snowboarding, we recommend checking out options like the Rush Jacket, Sidewinder Jacket, and Sentinel Jacket.

Question 10

My wife is tall and muscular - could you please share the L and XL measurements for the womens model (chest, waist, front, back, sleeve) compared with mens M and L? Also, is there a difference in terms of shoulder width between the womens and mens model?

Sophie · Accepted Answer

Hi Carl, thanks for your question! The Women’s Alpha SV Jacket in size L offers a chest measurement of 119.0 cm, a width of 113.0 cm, a center back length of 73.2 cm, and a shoulder width of 50.3 cm. In size XL, these dimensions increase to a chest of 129.0 cm, width of 123.0 cm, center back length of 75.8 cm, and shoulder width of 54.6 cm. For the Men’s Alpha SV Jacket, size M has a chest of 122.0 cm, width of 113.0 cm, center back length of 78.4 cm, and shoulder width of 52.0 cm. In size L, the chest is 129.6 cm, the width is 120.6 cm, the center back length is 80.9 cm and the shoulder width is 54.4 cm. This shows incremental increases in all dimensions as the sizes progress for both jackets, accommodating broader fits and longer lengths. If you're near one of our brand stores, you are welcome to try on the items in person. Alternatively, feel free to order more than one size to compare, as we offer free returns within 30 days of purchase.
