3rd in a Series of Alpha SV's since 2006

a month ago
Yesterday I received the latest in a series of 3 Alpha SV shells that I've worn since 2006. I wore my first Alpha SV shell all day, every day on a self-guided ascent of Denali in May 2007. On that trip, this shell's robust design was key to my comfort low on the mountain and it played a key role in withstanding Denali's heinous weather above 19,000 feet on summit day. This shell went on to serve me well for years after in adventures in the Lower 48, too. After I wore that first shell out, I wore the 2nd in this series of shells for everything from technical winter ascents and ice climbing outings in Colorado, to a ton of in bounds and backcountry ski days in all kinds of weather. Last year that shell was a key piece of gear on a week-long backcountry trip in BC where we experienced deep, deep powder and low temps of -35 degF. My latest Alpha SV shell promises to deliver more years of equally stellar performance. And its design meets the unique needs of my build. For example, this Alpha SV shell has a hood that will properly fit over a helmet worn on my enormous gourd on top of my excessively long turkey neck. I've never owned another shell that could do that.

Love-Hate

2 days ago
I'm 6-1 and 195 pounds using the XL size. It's just a bit tight in the snow with two layers underneath, especially if you put gloves in the front zip pockets. But the XXL is too baggy. LOVE IT - Solid shell, good weight for warmth, wind proof, water proof, maneuverability. HATE IT - No hand pockets!!! What a colassol mistake!!! The volume of pockets is waaaaay too small/limited. You'll need to always have a backpack for anything you need to carry. Hand pockets (like on Beta shell) would have solved everything. Their argument is that the pack strap covers hand pockets, but that just means don't use them when you have a pack on. When you don't have a pack, like skiing, boating, day hiking, going to work, hand pockets are a must!!! Overall, I would NOT buy again or recommend to a friend. I'm pretty disappointed that I'll be stuck with it for 10+ years.

Alpha SV Poor Quality

19 days ago
Alpha SV was Purchased in Feb 2024. Used for a total 120 hours of resort skiing; delamination appears around the wrist area. The product has been regularly washed by Arcteryx store. I brought the jacket back to the store for a warranty claim and was told these delamination do not affect the performance of the jacket. I'm totally dissatisfied with made of the jacket that was priced over $1,000 and Arcteryx's response. I recommend shopping elsewhere. I would give a 0/5 Stars, not 1 of 5.

This Jacket is my daily driver, and it works for everything, like seriously everything from hiking to fishing to skiing on the mountain the Alpha SV delivers. It’s seriously tough from rocky hiking to my ski’s on my shoulders it’s still trucking along and best part I’m always bone dry. I can’t recommend the Alpha SV enough !!

Got my first shell jacket ever, and chose the Alpha SV. It is amazing! I was afraid to cold. Tested now in 3800 meters in minus 14C and wind with snow. Have a fleece and a Arcteryx thin vest. Works fine (Alpine skiing). Offer was 20% in red.
