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.

GORE-TEX shell for severe alpine conditions

Alpha SV Jacket Men's

The Storm Fortress. The iconic Alpha SV has long proven itself in the most severe alpine conditions. Breathable GORE-TEX PRO with Most Rugged Technology is paired with our most durable face fabric – made from 100% recycled materials – for incredibly long-lasting storm protection. The micro grid backer enhances resistance to abrasion and contamination, and the latest design updates make repair easier to extend your Alpha’s life. Featured for confidence in extreme conditions, the Alpha SV includes an embedded RECCO® reflector for improved searchability in emergency situations, our helmet-compatible StormHood™ adjusts for full coverage with maximum visibility, and articulated construction that frees you to move across mountain terrain.

Climb

Adjustable StormHood™

The StormHood™ provides complete coverage with a unique design that adjusts to pivot with your head and maximize your field of view.

WaterTight™ zippers

The WaterTight™ zippers’ reverse-coil design creates a secure seal that weighs less than flapped closures, won’t collect snow, and minimizes snagging.
