The legendary mountaineering hardshell, now stronger and lighter.

First appearing in 1998, the Arc’teryx Alpha SV Jacket has always been at the forefront of its category, addressing the needs of alpinist and expedition climbers with the lightest, most durable weather protection - the ultimate hardshell for those seeking the pinnacle in performance products.

New for Fall 2016, the Alpha SV Jacket once again takes centre stage with a complete re-design and textile upgrade, featuring the new N100p-X face fabric laminated to durably waterproof / breathable 3L GORE-TEX® Pro. The jacket is now 50% more durable than its predecessor, but also lighter thanks to design enhancements.

The weight reduction was achieved by minimising the seam allowances and using smaller 8mm seam tape, plus the application of the new RS™ Zipper Sliders which further eliminates weight and streamlines the overall aesthetic of the jacket.

Fully featured with a helmet compatible StormHood™, pit zips, and articulated construction, the Alpha SV remains the choice for extended use in the harshest conditions.

As with all of the company’s pinnacle alpine products, the new Alpha SV Jacket will be manufactured in the new, state-of-the-art Arc’teryx factory in Vancouver, Canada.
