All the features, none of the weight.

My mind is blown that this jacket can be so light for how tough it is. It also has all the bells and whistles I want in any kind of spring/summer alpine or adventure gore. Pit zips, big front pockets for gear, an inside stash pocket for safe-keeping items and an adjustable hood Fit is great, with ample room for layering. Packs away small, even though it has pockets and pit zips. Super impressed with the update on this jacket, 100% will be my go-to!

Hi there. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Alpha Jacket. We are sorry to hear that yours is not beading water. Wetting out can sometimes occur when the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment wears down, but regular washing can help restore the jacket’s performance. We recommend following the care instructions to clean and maintain the fabric, as dirt and oils can impact water repellency. If issues persist, we encourage you to reach out to our team by filling out a Product Service Request form: https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/help/product-service/service-request

Lightweight & Versatile
a month ago
So many products are great for multi use and this is one of them for me. When I am out touring, I'm looking for a shell that is super lightweight and compact. While hiking up, I need a jacket that packs down easy and fits in my pack. I've found this high performance jacket my go to for ski touring. It's light and has great packability! It functions super well on stormy days and when it's wet out or a mega storm day, I hike up in this jacket and throw on the Rush IS at the top, never removing this layer, which helps me regulate heat and stay dry. This jacket is certainly fitted more for alpine climbing so I size up to ensure it fits the way I want it. For reference, I am 5'2" and ordered an XL. Could certainly run the L, but I love a baggier fit!

The alpha has become one of my year round favorites! It’s a great rain shell but I frequently use it for spring skiing. I don’t leave the house for an adventure without it.

Didn’t last for the exorbitant price

The ideal alpine shell*
4 months ago
*although I will preface that I prefer the Alpha SV for cooler seasons / harsher weather. I love the design of the alpha jackets - the pockets that sit above the harness / hip straps are soooo clutch. In fact they're so deep that I can even fit my bearspray in one and nearly zip it closed [ideal when I'm lazy and dont bring the actual carrier or a vest with pockets for it]. I often tuck a pair of venta gloves or mitts into one of the pockets too. The vents are great for warm days, the shell dries quickly and this version is very lightweight. Rolls up easily to pack as well. If you're doing anything climbing or alpine related I can't recommend enough.

Love love love this jacket. I just wish the pockets on the front were a bit lower and more to the side so I could stick my hands in even with a backpack on.
