Is the Alpha SV worth it over the Beta AR?

The Alpha SV uses a tougher face fabric and is built for climbing and ski mountaineering. The Beta AR is lighter and more versatile for everyday mountain use.

Does it have insulation?

No. It is a lightweight Gore-Tex shell with no insulation, so you layer a fleece or down jacket underneath in winter.

Is the hood helmet compatible?

Yes. The hood is designed to fit over a climbing or ski helmet and adjusts with drawcords.

What sizes does it come in?

It is a men's regular fit; the listed chest size of 94 cm corresponds to size S. Check Arc'teryx's size chart before ordering.

How should I wash the Alpha SV?

Tumble dry on low and skip bleach, iron and dry cleaning. Do not iron or dry clean it, since heat and solvents can damage the Gore-Tex membrane.

About the Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket Men's

The Alpha SV is Arc'teryx's most rugged hardshell, built for climbers and skiers who spend long days in wet, windy weather. It uses a 100% recycled nylon Gore-Tex face fabric with a micro grid backer, gusseted underarms, a helmet-compatible hood and five pockets. It sits at the top of Arc'teryx's shell line, above the lighter, more versatile Beta AR, and owners say its weatherproofing and durability justify the step up.
