A good jacket with need some improvements.

a year ago
Overall a good jacket. Cuff adjustment velcro should be the same streamline as what Sabre SV jacket has. It's sleak and better looking than what these Alpha SV jackets have. Same material and colour as the jacket. Outside chest pockets are good. Well placed and roomy. Interior pockets are also well placed but they should be bigger for fitting bigger phones and both should have zipper closure for secure. Pockets are important and it's annoying when the phone barely fits into pocket. It doesn't take much to make them bigger and adding zipper to both interior pockets. The bicep pocket is questionable. Is it really necessary. The aim is to make this jacket simple and functional putting there only what is needed. Lip balm doesn't require its own pocket. All the pulls of the zippers are great. They are big and simple, good shape. This is important so using them is easy with gloves or without as well. One colour jacket is good. Please keep this way. It looks much better than two tones. The lighter blue colour Serene is great colour. Also why don't you introduce some lighter colours as Arctic Silk or Warm Stone.

Cinch cams = Dollar Store value.

a year ago
Overall the jacket GORE- Tex materials perform as they should i.e., robust, withstand impacts with tree branches, insulates and breathes well. However, the cams used for the cinching are complete trash and do not hold. I have come to expect more from Arcteryx but they completely missed the mark on functionality. I regret this purchase more than any other summer, winter, fall, cycling, snowboarding garmet I have. I've wore it a total of three times because of my disgust. If you expect top performance for top dollar do not purchase.

Almost perfect

a year ago
Almost perfect. If only it were an inch or two longer. So few companies make things that fit tall skinny people well. Way too big of I upsized. I would love the addition of regular, in the way of a harness, pockets. Coming from someone who works in a harness fairly frequently you can just take the things out of said pockets when needed. Everything else I would want out of a shell.

I like everything about this jacket, look sturdy, flexible, rainproof, roomy for layering. only inconvenient in the sleeve could be at least 2 inches shorter, but friends with the same jacket don't have this problem, I'm a short arm person hihi!! now I wait for winter to try it in cold weather! only time will tell about the reliability of this jacket.

Needs improvement

a year ago
I kept it but there are three big missives with this. Firstly, I want to start off that this shell is Arc's statement piece and therefore should showcase state of the art features. It is really not that innovative. It is missing a perforated area at the top of the zip so you can breathe with it being zipped and not fogging your glasses. This feature would be great. Secondly, I wish it had a waist cinch in addition to its thigh cinch. As it is, the cut goes way below your butt (too far) and a way to bring it up is to cinch the waist. This cinch also decreases bulk. Finally, the arms are just comically long, even for a climbing jacket. I think Arc should take a fresh look at this jacket and instead of promoting the innovative fabric, come up with some new innovations that make it more valuable, especially since it costs almost a grand.

Bomb-proof ski jacket

a year ago
I trust my Alpha SV in any & all conditions while I’m on the slopes! Withstands the nastiest weather that Whistler throws out. Completely wind and water proof. You must wash the jacket regularly and it’ll last you years & years. I got a new Alpha SV for the upcoming ski season after my previous Alpha SV lasted over 250 ski days. This jacket is well worth the expense.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Ease of multi-use

a year ago
I chose the Alpha SV out of availability. Originally, I was seeking a beta shell but the specific colors and sizing I was interested in were not available. I am very happy with the decision to go up a level to the Alpha. The range of motion, fit and comfort, and practicality for adverse weather is amazing. I live and play within Vancouver Island mountains and this jacket has not let me down once.

J'ai acheté cette veste il y a un peu plus de deux ans et j'en suis très content. Aussi bien en randonnée ici en Belgique qu'au ski dans des conditions parfois extrême. Elle est parfaitement étanche et reste très respirante avec les aérations sous les bras si nécessaire. Je la porte aussi bien avec une simple couche en dessous ou avec une doudoune thorium ou cerium qui me permet une isolation et chaleur parfaites. L'entretien est très facile.
