Alpha SV Jacket Men's

Perfect all round jacket. Even after 8 hours torrential rain in the Yorkshire dales I was bone dry. Very well designed jacket for back pack use and ski touring. Can’t fault it other than the arms are too long, could do with being a few inches shorter.

Très bon Jacket contre les tempêtes de neige et le reste. Manteau de PRO

Best in class! I bought my Alpha SV from Monod's in Banff and I have taken it all over the Rockies, and into the Alps. When the weather moves in and you want to be protected, this is the jacket for you.

Bonjour je suis extrêmement déçu d Arc’teryx, j ai porté cette veste une dizaine de fois que j ai du renvoyer car le bouton de la capuche se décollait, 40€ pour la renvoyer en suisse pour la réparer pour au final faire des trous dans la capuche , très déçu mais soite j ai accepté la réparation, je reviens d une randonnée légère ou il a plus pendant 2h finement, on ne parle pas la d une tempête mais de pluie légère, et la veste étais mouillé ainsi que mon pull était trempé, je regrette tellement d avoir mis autant d argent dans cette veste qui est finalement pire que toute les vestes connu auparavant.

Use it on long days in the mouyain. Extreme protection.

The best of the best when it comes to shell jackets

Best jacket I’ve ever owned. My go to for PNW storm boarding

Mountain Climbing,Trail Hike, Commuting to work in Cold Weather

I’ve used the saber jacket for 5 years and it’s still doing its job and looks amazing. I bought the alpha SV jacket as a backup and a casual hiking jacket, I soon realized the the SV was stronger and had a better fit and offered me a better range of mobility while snowboarding all day. This jacket is a tank and if cared for properly will last a very long time. Well worth the money !!!!!!

What year did the jungle color come out in the Alpha SV? Great product just curious on the model year..

As person whom spends a lot of time in the outdoors exploring along all four seasons, the Alpha SV is an essential part of my kit. I have found over the years that my Alpha SV has supported and built some of my strongest memories in the mountains! From through hikes, to airy scrambles and in wet conditions, the Alpha SV has been apart of each and every one of those adventures. The 100 denier Gore-Tex Pro is built to withstand most any activity within the mountains. Not to mention, the Alpha SV looks very signature to Arc'teryx and compliments any adventurers kit perfectly!

Excellent Jacket! Arc’teryx is the best! Please make in “tall” sizes.

J'ai acheté la veste alpha SV pour sa durabilité mais il n'en est rien , prix pas du tout justifie.. au bout d'un an les coutures se decollaient , du coup j'ai envoyé la veste j'ai eu un changement de veste après maintes explications, on m'expliquait que j'avais contaminé la veste , je leur ai dis de découper d'analyser la veste , ils ont bien que c'était une anomalie, rebelote avec la nouvelle veste. .. et le bouton serre capuche a glissé dans la capuche... il faut savoir que la deuxième veste , je la mettais dans le sac par peur de l'abîmer... vous voyez à quel point on en arrive , ... je prenais ma veste softshell d'une autre marque par peur de transpirer dedans etc... je vais quand même me rapprocher de Gore Tex on peut bien voir que le produit n'est pas abîmé d'usure... sur la deuxième veste pareil cela se décollait au bout de 6 mois... et même sur la poche forfait de la manche donc c'est pas l'usure ni la transpiration... a comparer avec mon ancienne veste Millet GTX Jorasses je n'ai jamais eu ces problèmes même au bout de 5 ans .. il y a un problème sur les vestes quand même quand on voit les nombreux commentaires. ceux qui n'ont pas de problème l'utilise 2 semaines dans l'année et c'est tout ... comment on peut parler d'une durabilité...

I bought the Alpha SV jacket a few years ago and have worn it from time to time in suitable weather (heavy rain and winter hikes in Europe and Asia). However, never in extreme or harsh environmental conditions. During this time, the jacket served me well. Back in Germany, I cleaned it and found that many of the welded/glued seams had come loose, making the jacket unusable. The jacket was sent for repair via service request. According to service, repair is not possible. Instead, my jacket was offered for recycling in exchange for a 20% promotional code. Due to the bad experience, I found it difficult to choose a similar product from Arc'teryx again. For a high-priced jacket like this, I would have expected a product that is more sustainable and ease of repair.

This jacket is fantastic. I wore out an earlier model Arc Teryx jacket and went all out on the cost to upgrade to a Made-in-Canada article, and could not be happier. Build quality on this garment is outstanding. Arc Teryx, please be sure to keep manufacturing for top-end products in your catalogue here in Canada. It's worth paying more to know that high end fabrication happens right here in our back yard.

Hi! First of all, thank you for creating great products! Second, I have some feedback to your product team; the last couple of years I have been using your products for skiing and hiking and I’ve noticed that almost all of them have Recco integrated. Some weeks ago I learned from a friend that this technology hasn’t saved a life since 2019, in Switzerland I recall. That’s more than 5 years! Not sure if it’s necessary to include it your products. Discussed it with my friends this weekend and we all agree that paying for a products that.. 1. haven’t saved a life in more then 5 years 2. Creates false safety 3. Add cost to the product …it’s not just worth it! Thank you for listening to my feedback! Matt E

Genuinely the best outdoor Shell jacket ever purchased. This jacket is fully waterproof, warm, fits so well as a outer layer, feel high quality, and it SO stylish. In the three months I have had the Orca colorway, I have gotten countless compliments on the design, fit, and overall look of the jacket, as it looks stylish even on a sunny day! Truly one of my favorite pieces of clothing in my wardrobe. This jacket has never failed to keep me dry, even under the shower for 30 mins for a test, not even a drop wet with nothing underneath. It fits so well with the atom hoody underneath (another top tier purchase), and is the perfect shell. Although it is pricey, if you are going to use it often, it is so worth the price, as it will last you years. I have used this skiing, in super rainy days, In the snow, on a cloudy cold day, at night, in the mall, or doing regular daily activities, keeping me warm and stylish all day. Totally recommend, and I am so happy with this purchase.

I bough my first Alpha SV around 2015. Absolutely amazing backcountry all season jacket - perfect design. But it delaminated. Thankfully Arcteryx replaced it via a voucher in 2021. That one started delaminating after 2.5 years and much better care. Quite impressively Arcteryx provided another voucher to replace the second SV but I'm quite paranoid about purchasing another one as they've indicated this is the last time they'll replace it. It also irks me how I always get partly blamed for being too dirty and sweaty. Should I give the SV a third shot or use the voucher for something else and get a hard shell from elsewhere?

Poor performance- the shell suffered from horrible de-lamination even though I followed all care instructions
