The best designed jacket badly made

2 years ago
I've owned 2 Alpha SV's and work them hard. I choose this product because of the detail and quality construction, and warranty, coz, like I said, I give them a hard time. The first jacket last 5 years and was replaced due to manufacturing faults. the second has just totally fallen apart after another 5 years, completely delaminated pit zips and hem draw cord... and what is offered as warranty? A 20% discount on a new product. Sorry Arc'teryx but your claims of being tough just fell apart like your products.
Q: Pros:
A: fantastic design
Q: Cons:
A: poorly made
Q: Activity
A: alpine trekking and climbing

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not as good of a warranty you'll expect

2 years ago
My Alpha jacket started delaminating few months ago, my first Arcteryx jacket to do so. I sent it for warranty, and the answer Arcteryx told me is that I contaminated the jacket with my sweat and for that reason it was not warranty. It was delaminating in 3 different places. They told me that I did not wash it enough, wich in fact I was washing every 3 to 5 uses.

No, I do not recommend this product.

10 Years and Still Going Strong

2 years ago
Bought new in 2013 and it has exceeded my expectations. From Alpine climbing to less demanding activities it has never let me down. Warm, dry and sometimes overkill, I know I made the right choice especially when I see current retail prices! I did have one issue with the bottom hem starting to delaminate after 9 years of use but Customer Service came through and after sending it in to be repaired it's now like new. Turn around time was not unreasonable. I empathize with my brothers who have had issues with this jacket but I can only give a fair and honest review which for me has been all positive.
Q: Pros:
A: Warm, Dry, Well designed
Q: Cons:
A: None
Q: Activity
A: Alpine and Winter activities, heavy rain storms

Yes, I recommend this product.

Never mind my review. Follow your gut.

I bought this item (Large size) a few weeks ago, and the fit was a little bit dumb, so I reordered a medium size, and I am very satisfying the item right now. For reference, my chest circumference is 43 inches and my weight is 185 lb. Never mind others' reviews. Just follow your gut. Because you can refund it freely.

Solid jacket

2 years ago
The only reason I give it a 4 and not a 5 is the lack of the belay (2 way zipper). I’m 5’9”, 175 and the medium is a little long but that’s what I wanted for layering and skiing. Ive been out in sideways rain and drizzle and it’s doing a great job of keeping my dry.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight
Q: Cons:
A: No 2-way zipper
Q: Activity
A: Skiing, hiking, Polar work

Yes, I recommend this product.

The one that gets it done.

2 years ago
This shell is an absolute tank. Despite my best efforts to destroy it over the past two ski seasons, it appears to be brand new. It functions in a few capacities for me: 1. Midwinter shell in my touring pack. While not breathable enough for uphill travel unless its seriously windy or stormy, the shell is perfect for descents, slower technical climbing with skis involved, and the sharp, tree-lined exits here in SW Montana. I've run nearly full speed into trees and rocks, and the shell shows... nothing. In the spring, I switch over to either the Alpha FL or even Squamish, but this is a perfect midwinter shell. 2. Resort use. I only ride chairs 3-4 days/year, so this is perfect for me. No need for a dedicated resort shell. If you are a frequent resort skier, you might want more features and comfort (powder skirt, neck liner), but this shell even has an arm pocket that functions as a pass holder. For me, at 5'7", the hem length is more than adequate to keep me dry. 3. Extreme weather layer when alpine climbing. On a typical day, I will hopefully not need it. But when I do, it's indispensable - the storm hood and general weather resistance can prevent a good day from becoming very uncomfortable. I am normally a S, and am comfortably XS in this shell. This fit still allows for layering a base / mid and insulation under. For most folks on most days, this shell is likely overkill, but if you want to absolute best and most hardcore shell, look no further.
Q: Pros:
A: Durability, feeling of "refuge"
Q: Cons:
A: Overkill for many applications
Q: Activity
A: Ski touring, alpine climbing

Yes, I recommend this product.

Indestructible go to

2 years ago
I got this jacket for the harshest of winter commutes. As a paraplegic if my equipment (my awesome Bowhead bike) fails then I better be prepared to stay out in the cold till help arrives. The flip side is that I also want equipment that will allow me full range of motion and the ability to shed or retain heat in the coldest of rides. Whether you’re in the city or on a mountain -35c is darn cold. This jacket is my first line of defence.
Q: Pros:
A: Durable and robust
Q: Cons:
A: This colour is very easy to get dir
Q: Activity
A: Adaptive mountain biking

Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellent waterproof and windproof jacket.

A: Pricey
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, Urban Use, Field Work

Excellent gear!

2 years ago
I just picked up the Alpha SV jacket in the new Bordeaux color. Really loving this jacket! It provides great protection against snowstorms and high winds, which we have had a lot of this winter here in northern Nevada. The craftsmanship is timeless. I feel this jacket will last a lifetime and then some. The features are also what you would expect from Arcteyx. Pocket layout, zippers and seams, and the pull-tie designs to ensure a snug fit are all top shelf. This jacket is well with the money! I'm 5-6 and 150lbs and it fits great. On a cold miserable day with temps in the teens, heavy snow, and winds 45+mph, I was feeling perfect with a base and mid layer. Loving this!
Q: Pros:

Q: Cons:
A: It ain't cheap
Q: Activity
A: Snow sports... lots of 'em.

Replacing my 2012 Alpha SV Jacket

2 years ago
I just received the new jacket. My 2012 served me well and was a good investment. So far the fit is almost identical and I do like some of the upgrades on the newer model. The zippers pulls are nicer then before, but time will tell if they last. The jacket is much lighter and the construction is near perfection. I am looking forward to putting it through the tests on my upcoming trips.
Q: Pros:
A: Weatherproof
Q: Cons:
A: Shipping took too long.
Q: Activity
A: Hiking & commuting

Yes, I recommend this product.

Very Disappointed...

2 years ago
I purchased this jacket a year ago specifically because it was promoted as the most durable jacket and is still made in Vancouver. I purchased it directly from Arc'teryx's website so it is not an internet fake by any means and I still have the receipt. My use of the jacket has not been extreme by any measures yet two weeks ago while skiing in Ontario the armpit seam completely split open. I followed up on the warranty and the response time has been drastically slow. I eventually called in and was told that further photos are required and that they will likely try and repair it. I have still not heard back a confirmation on what next steps are. I was advised however, that this will take several weeks and I will likely not have the jacket for the remainder of the ski season. I have many Arc'teryx products and did not hesitate to pay premium for this specific item as my hopes were it would last many years given it is their most durable shell. It barely made it past one year and now I am having difficulty in getting the item replaced. Very unfortunate situation that I am hoping is rectified soon.
Q: Cons:
A: Inferior quality
Q: Activity
A: Skiing

No, I do not recommend this product.

The Ultimate gore-tex jacket

2 years ago
J'ai acheté cette veste en 2012 et après 11ans d'un usage intensif elle commence à montrer quelques signes "normaux" de fatigue. Je ne peux que dire ma satisfaction pour ce produit. Cette veste ne me quitte jamais comme un smartphone ou un porte-monnaie et je la glisse toujours au fond du sac à dos "au cas ou". Elle a toujours fait son boulot, soit me protéger des éléments (pluie, vent, froid, humidité) dans toutes mes pérégrinations que ce soit à la ville (un look parfait) ou que se soit en mer (évidemment, ca ne remplace pas un ciré), ou sur les sommets en randonnée ou en ski alpinisme. Si vous envisagez d'acquérir la veste Alpha SV , je ne peux que vous conseillé de bien choisir la couleur car vous la garderez longtemps !

merci pour ce commentaire qui confirme la robustesse des anciens modèles vs. les nouveaux. Même histoire que vous, avec un modèle 2010 qui a duré 11 ans. L'acquisition du dernier modèle m'a rendu sceptique sur la qualité, non de la membrane et de l'assemblage, tjs parfait... mais des serrages coheasive notamment qui paraissaient fragiles. De fait, les réglages ne restaient pas en place; ce qui est rapidement gênant en montagne. A contrecœur, je me suis rabattu sur un modèle d'une autre marque qui est revenue sur l'utilisation de ces cordons peu fiables. Si Arc'teryx revient un jour sur ces caractéristiques, aucun doute que je reprendrai une Alpha SV. Cordialement,

Poor Design

2 years ago
I had this jacket for a year already. The material is great and keeps you warm but the design is very poor. The pockets are centered in the middle so if you were to put your hands inside, you'll have to cross your arms, which I find unpractical.

A: Great material, keeps you warm
Q: Cons:
A: Poor pocket design
Q: Activity
A: Snowboarding

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hey, you should have bought the Beta…  There is a reason the pockets on the Alpha are there… because the jacket is for climbing and a harness would otherwise cover the pockets.  If you don’t climb with a harness then get a beta.  The design is perfect for its intended use.

Not waterproof!!!

2 years ago
My Arcteryx Alpha SV is failing after less than 2 years of use, and with not so much use over that period of time... After some minutes of medium rain (of course, also with heavy one!), the jacket gets totally wet, and you can feel how the rain passes to the interior of the jacket... I guide photography tours and workshops and having a group with you seeing how this item performs that bad, should be embarrassing for a brand like Arctertyx! This is something totally unacceptable for the price of this item, so I want a solution with this!
Q: Cons:
A: Not really waterproof, so expensive
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, Photography Tours, Mountaineering

No, I do not recommend this product.

Have you put water proofing back on assuming in 2 years you have had to wash? I have noticed water intrusion if I didn’t spray on DWR type product after proper cleaning.  Once done I was all set again for the next storm.

Very nice Jacket over all

2 years ago
I absolutely love my Arcteryx Alpha SV jacket! It is the perfect combination of function and style. The Gore-Tex Pro material is incredibly durable and keeps me dry in even the wettest conditions. The larger fit allows for easy layering underneath, and the adjustable hood provides excellent protection from the elements. The attention to detail in the construction of this jacket is second to none, and I know it will last me for years to come. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend the Arcteryx Alpha SV jacket to anyone in need of a high-quality durable outdoor jacket for any activities.
Q: Pros:
A: Durable, breathable, nice fit
Q: Activity
A: Freeride, Touring, Climbing

Yes, I recommend this product.
