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

6 months 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.

très forte déception

2 days ago
Je suis très déçu par cette veste et par la marque Arcteryx : après seulement 4 années d'utilisation (à moyenne fréquence) en alpinisme, il y a de nombreuses boursouflures sur l'extérieur qui se transforment en fissures puis trous ... ! Le bord des manches est également très fortement usé jusqu'à la membrane, l'étanchéité n'y est plus du tout. Et aucune réaction positive du service après vente qui est dans le déni total ; vraiment pas à la hauteur d'une soi-disant "grande marque" ...

Poor quality / short life span / poor service

26 days ago
Product is great for a short period of time. The materials and the manufacturing methods don’t hold up to time. I have had two jackets and both saw light use during my time. Both jackets delaminated in multiple areas after about 6-7 years. A jacket of this caliber should last a lot longer. The customer service has gone down hill over the past 10 years as well. They don’t stand by their product anymore and that is a game changer for me. They offered for me to buy a new one for $119 off. I will never buy another arcteryx product again due to this quality and customer service deterioration.
