Severe delamination issue!

2 years ago
I did not expect my Arc'teryx Alpha SV jacket to come apart in the wash. Don't get me wrong. The jackets design and tailoring of the jacket fit me very well. The Gortex fabric is durable and very waterproof when maintained and clean. That is why I gave it a one star rating. However, when following cleaning and maintaining procedure for your jacket over several years. Be cautious of severe delamination issues. Unfortunately, I will not be purchasing another Arc'teryx jacket
Q: Pros:
A: Nice tailoring
Q: Cons:
A: Delamination issues
Q: Activity
A: Biking, Hiking, Canoeing and getting groceries in the rain.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Delamination happens as glue gets old. My Alpha SV had the same issue on the cuff. $7 tub of Gorilla glue later I'm back in action. Off to PEI for a week of cycling with my old fav.

Unbelievable

2 years ago
The first day I received it I was caught in a deluge of rain. My shorts were saturated. My shoes (which are Gore-Tex) were water-logged and making a squishy sound. But everything under the jacket was bone dry. Rain was bouncing off the sidewalk, small rivers formed and started moving the soil, yet water rolled right off the jacket. There no wetting out anywhere. This jacket is in another class from any waterproof product I’ve ever owned. It’s probably one of the best raincoats on earth. Astounding.
Q: Pros:

Q: Cons:
A: Crinkly
Q: Activity
A: Around town, hiking, snowshoeing, shooting

something should be wrong with arcteryx

2 years ago
The fabrication date of the jacket was 10/2011. I wear the jacket 10 days per year in winter in Greece. I return the jacket to arcteryx for repair and this is the Assessment results by arcteryx: Age, wear and tear from normal use and possible contamination of the fabric by body oil, sweat or dirt have left this piece in a condition where the product is worn out beyond reasonable repair either under warranty or at a cost. As a result, a repair would not hold and we could not stand behind it. We build our products to last over extended periods of use, but nothing lasts indefinitely.
Q: Activity
A: Hiking

No, I do not recommend this product.

Startet to delaminate after one year

3 years ago
This is my third Arcteryx gtx jacket, i have been happy whit Arcteryx in the past. I got this jacket as a replacement of a beta SV that had delaminations issues. After a year (13 mounth) i startet to see air pockets forming under the face fabric of the Goretex fabric on the back of the hood, the same issue i had whit my old Beta SV. The rest of the jacket still looked almost new, so i contacting Arcteryx thy ask me to send it in; and the answer i got from them was: “Contamination of this nature is due to things like sweat, body oil, dirt … No Warranty, no repair possible” A 800euro jacket made for mountaineering in so called “most rugged GTX” that have been washes and cared for by all means, lasts only a little more than a year? The “Product Practical Lifespan” of Arcteryx products is now down to zero i will never buy Arcteryx again.
Q: Cons:
A: Only lastes one year
Q: Activity
A: hiking, cross country skiing

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great performance!

3 years ago
I've had this jacket a little over a year now and have put it through it's paces in the Northeastern Ontario bush, not just trails but actually off trail bushwhacking as well, including in the rain. There were a few times I got it so dirty from going through trees and other vegetation that I thought I might have stained it, a simple wash fixed it right up - no rips or tears either! Love this jacket!
Q: Pros:
A: Tough, Water & wind proof, pockets
Q: Cons:
A: A bit tight for a lot of layers
Q: Activity

The same feeling I got - such a high-end jacket should not be so fragile after so few uses. Equally as frustrating that the CX/warranty is fallen so far from just a few years ago when Arcteryx would stand by their product.

宇宙无敌超级好的夹克

3 years ago
说来也长 我是来自中国的消费者,只有少部分中国消费者回来始祖鸟官网评价。 总体而言,这是一款及其适用于恶劣户外环境的夹克,自然你不去险恶环境没有必要购买这件夹克,1是专业性太强,日常舒适度不高;2是价格高昂,没有硬性需求,不值得购买,甚至有点暴殄天物。 这件夹克是真正意义上防风防水透气耐磨的夹克,我在一次攀登活动中,暴露在大风大雨的天气中足足5小时。让我难以置信的是,回到营地,我的所有基本湿透了,而我却仍然干爽舒适。再者,有次我在崖壁上时,出了点意外,我的岩钉没有打好,在我悬空时脱落了,我紧贴着岩壁滑落了3米,这件夹克是足足的摩擦在了岩壁上,但一点破损都没有,除了有些发白(可能是DWR被磨损脱落了),之后又下雨,磨损的地方被雨水浸湿了(水珠没有串珠滑落,浸在面料上),但内里仍然没有湿。综上所述,足以说明这件夹克的耐用。 更值得说的是,始祖鸟客户服务的态度(我在中国地区,使用的是微信中的始祖鸟服务)。我的夹克左大臂“GORE-TEX PRO”绣字下方的压胶脱落了,还有几处的胶条翘边。我将问题反馈给了客服并将夹克邮寄到了始祖鸟的维修中心,等了2天,他们直接表示夹克属于始祖鸟的质量问题,直接提出“退款”或是“更换一件全新的夹克”来解决问题,我选择了退款,真的¥8200全款退回。后面又心痒痒,因为这件夹克的性能是如此出众,加上始祖鸟可靠的售后服务,有购买了一件全新的Alpha SV,用的就是他们退款的钱。在这次服务中,服务人员耐心解答的亲切语言与他们及时意识到是质量问题时极佳的处理模式和态度是我在其他品牌服务中从未体验过的。 总全文所述 这件Alpha SV夹克的极致性能与质量,以及始祖鸟可靠的售后服务,很难让人不去购买这件夹克以及始祖鸟的其他产品。 很建议你在适用范围及经济能力范围内去购买这件Alpha SV夹克,顺便购买一整身始祖鸟的产品,这种兼容性的美妙购买上身后自然而知。

Great product, but glued stiches do not last

I was using Alpha SV since 2005 for mountaineering and backcountry skiing in Canada, AB. Great product, I love it. Owned two Alpha's , and going to buy the third one. But glued stiches are not going to last. My first Alpha lasted 5 years before it fell apart. My second Alpha endured 7 years before serious problems with stiches started to show up.

I have 3 Alpha Jackets Now

3 years ago
I just bought another Alpha. I have two red ones that I use for Search and Rescue. I'm on two teams in Lake Tahoe. Each has custom logos otherwise one would be plenty. I bought a blue one to wear instead of my Procline shell I have been wearing in too many harsh conditions. Its a great jacket in its own right but when its really bad out I needed more jacket. The Alpha was my only choice. Today I wore it skiing at the resort with just a base layer underneath. I can add any number of layers to make it perform in any conditions. Then I got a call out for a lost skier at a different resort. I changed out of the blue one, put on an Atom LT jacket then a red Alpha to go find the lost skier. I can't say enough good things about this jacket. The name is appropriate as well.
Q: Pros:
A: It does it all
Q: Cons:
A: Need more color choices
Q: Activity
A: Backcountry Skiing, Search and Rescue, Ice Climbing, Resort Skiing, Mountaineering

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not happy with Gore-Tex.

3 years ago
Guys, sorry about the bad rating. You have a good design and cool products but please don't partner with Gore-Tex anymore as it will damage your brand. I've been skiing today in Kitzbuhel, Austria, in rain but not lashing rain, while wearing my Arcteryx pants and jacket with Gore-Tex Pro material. I got completely soaked underneath all the way to the base layers and skin. Even my underwear were soaked. I have numerous jackets, pants, bibs, etc from you and getting wet is not the first time although I always bought the very best from you and often most expensive SV jackets and pants. I did that for two reasons, first to keep me dry and second the design/features. "Guaranteed to keep you dry" is not real. It's all rubbish in that respect. It will protect you from some very light drizzling and have good breathability and it will dry quick but it will not keep you dry at all. You will be completely wet. I'm so mad after spending thousands of euro buying multiple jackets and pants not only for me but also for my family and today I felt that needs to be said somewhere because people are being mislead by the Gore-Tex moto: "Guaranteed to keep you dry" which is a complete lie. Use schoeller c-change for the "waterproof products" I have some motorcycle gear that uses this material and is waterproof for sure. Anyone buying the high end stuff for waterproofness will want that guaranteed. Gore-Tex can't do it.
Q: Pros:
A: Design and features
Q: Cons:
A: Gore-Tex Pro doesn't keep you dry.
Q: Activity
A: Skiing, cycling, hiking

No, I do not recommend this product.

Terrible customer service

Bought this jacket a couple of years ago and the hood started to fall apart. Jacket had barely been used and was only a couple of years old. Sent it in for repairs despite complaining it was only a couple of years old. They ignored my complaints said the best they could do is repair it which ended up taking weeks. They then sent it back which also took weeks. The courier then left it in an unsecured area and the parcel was taken. Arcteryx accept no responsibility for this. So I now have no jacket. Called so many times amend got passed around. Always told someone would get back to me and they never did. Worst customer service from any brand I’ve ever experienced

No, I do not recommend this product.

Fell apart after light use

3 years ago
The adjusters for the hood became detached from the Gore Tex fabric after light usage. Due to Coronavirus and lockdown I've not been able to travel since this garment was purchased, I've only taken it on local walks. Customer service claim it can't be repaired and isn't covered under warranty. They even described the item as in "poor" condition, even the seam tape looks like new. This is the second Arcteryx shell coat to fail me prematurely, the Alpha SV was a hardy upgrade to replace the last one. I've got a wardrobe full of Arcteryx gear but I won't be buying any more after getting such poor support after less than 12 months use out of a £600+ coat.
Q: Pros:
A: Waterproof, windproof
Q: Cons:
A: Fall to pieces, poor warranty
Q: Activity
A: Commuting, family walks

No, I do not recommend this product.

Stronger than the human body :)

3 years ago
Bought this jacket last winter in Alaska, taken on XC Cabin trips, ski trips, as well as a couple nights out shooting photography in poor weather. Of course this jacket had no issues with any of these situations as it is absolutely bomber. The real test came with a season-ending tree collision that resulted in a broken wrist, torn quad, bruised rib, and a lot of skin removed from the shin. The jacket though?? Not even the slightest mark on it. This will hold up to anything you can possibly throw at it and then beg for more, buy it and take it on the wildest adventures and you will see for yourself it is worthy.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Laminated seams delaminating

3 years ago
Bought this jacket a couple of years ago with the N80d material (not the new N100d which is slightly heavier). Let's start with the positive aspects: The jacket fits me very well and was used a lot. Skiing, hiking but also on a daily basis in the city. It provided me with good protection (not overwhelming) but to be honest the water resistency was not really outstanding. To be fair, I prefer this kind of Jacket with an inner layer in sub zero (°C) conditions where rain isn't an issue. The hood is very large to accommodate a helmet and is also a very good design. Let's discuss the negative points: It is delaminating everywhere... It started with the drawstrings and cuffs (the drawstring tunnel and the tunnel for the elastic cuffs is just glued which fell apart quickly). I washed the jacket according to the instructions for less than 10 times over the years (normally just once a year, but sometimes twice). The service in Switzerland repaired the jacket well(I am in Germany), but about a year later the drawstring tunnel of the hood is delaminating... Now shipping alone is about 30 € to Switzerland therefore it doesn't make sense to ship it there every time something breaks... In total I am not happy with the jacket, as it doesn't provide enough for the requested price... I got it for 500$ in the US which is a lot cheaper than the MSRP and am still dissapointed for that price point... never had those issues with my old jacket from another manufacturer (which weighs double of what the alpha SV weighs)... I love arcteryx jackets in general, but don't understand how those flaws can be accepted in a premium hardshell... My next hardshell will unfortunately not be an arcteryx... (but I bought the Therme Parka and that thing is great so far ;-)) Hope this review helps some of you.

Incredible Jacket, Legendary Service

3 years ago
Truly an incredible jacket. This thing will keep you bone dry in the worst conditions. The tradeoff is not being as light or packable as a lighter shell, but this jacket is bulletproof. I live in Squamish and this is an essential piece for adventures in the shoulder seasons. Customer service is also top knotch (part of what you're paying for). My jacket was 8 years old and had been through everything when the chest started delaminating. Within days I had a new jacket being shipped to me and the new version is even better! You rock Arc'teryx! Thank you!
Q: Pros:
A: Durability, dryness, function
Q: Cons:
A: Packability, breathability
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, Climbing, Mountaineering, Skiing

Yes, I recommend this product.

Bomb proof

Wow, this is a real shell of a jacket. It is super solid. Have not put it through its paces yet, but cannot immagin what it cannot handle. The only issues I found are, well besides the price (but that's no secret) is that the jacket does seem a little big in the sizing and its a bit noisy, but what do you expect from a tank.
