Alpha FL Jacket, Mantis Green
A hardwearing, minimalist alpine shell designed for those wanting to travel fast and light in the mountains. The lightest and most breathable alpinist waterproof/breathable jacket in the Arc'teryx line, it has a clean feature set and trim fit to keep the weight and packed size to the minimum while providing uncompromised breathability.

Reinforced in the high-wear hip and shoulder area. The Alpha FL is designed for fast and light travel: maximum breathability, minimum weight. Simple, with only a single pocket, an ergonomic pattern and trim fit keeps the jacket lean. N40p-X GORE-TEX® Pro 3L delivers lightweight, long wearing waterproof protection with a high level of breathability.

The high-tenacity nylon face fabric is light, tough and delivers excellent water repellency. Arc'teryx uses tiny seam tape and micro seam allowances in its waterproof/breathable constructions to reduce the weight of materials, increase breathability and create supple, free moving garments. The elimination of zipper flaps and pit zips saves additional weight.

Fast and light mountain travel is all about traveling light: essentials only, constant motion, energy efficient layers. Companion pieces to the Alpha FL would include the Alpha SL Pant or Gamma SL Hybrid Pant and Phase base layers.

Just to point out if you buy Arc'teryx in the UK and have problems one has to send the item at your cost to Switzerland or in the future Denmark.

you don't have a great deal thats nice to say about anything do you? id also like to be the first to point out your grammar and punctuation is appalling.

Surely if there is a problem then that's between you and the retailer, and it's their decision on what action to take?! What a ridiculous comment to make!
