Hi all,
What are people's experience of the Alpha FL's durability and performance for Scottish winter climbing? If I find myself squeezing through a chimney will the 40D fabric suffer abrasions?
Obviously the SV would take more abuse, but wouldn't work all that well as a year round jacket for alpine trips and rainy hikes (it also comes with an eye watering price tag). I'd considered the AR, but I can't ever seem to find it on deal.
I know at this point I'll have people telling me to consider a myriad of different brands, but I've already done a lot of consideration and have loved all my previous Arc'teryx purchases (due to the amazing build quality and alpine design).
Thanks in advance people,
Brad
