Alpha SV Jacket

The iconic Alpha SV is a proven performer in severe alpine conditions. Obsession keeps us pushing forward, and working closely with Gore, we have developed the strongest Alpha SV Ever.

Utilizing extremely durable yet breathable GORE-TEX PRO with Most Rugged Technology, we have paired our most durable face fabric for incredibly long-lasting storm protection. The Micro Grid Backer enhances resistance to abrasion and contamination. The backer is dope dyed, a process using substantially less resources than traditional dye processes. Featured for confidence in extreme conditions, the Alpha SV includes an embedded RECCO® reflector for improved searchability in emergency situations, our helmet compatible StormHood™, pit zips, and articulated construction that frees you to move across mountain terrain.

Redesign includes updated fabric to GORE-TEX PRO with Most Rugged Technology, RECCO® reflector and custom TPU zipper pulls.

Evolution of the Alpha SV

The Alpha SV debuts as the most advanced alpine climbing shell available. It employs GORE-TEX breathable waterproof technology and the groundbreaking WaterTight^™ Zipper, which eliminates bulky flaps. Microseams with narrow seam tape save weight and increase the breathable surface area. Laminated components reduce weight and increase durability. The Alpha SV is a veritable personal storm fortress.

Never resting on its merits, it has continually evolved — sometimes with incremental improvements, other times with complete redesigns — to lead the industry in durability, fit, and performance.

Arc'teryx Layering System

Layers are the instruments of keeping you dry, warm and using your energy efficiently. Put into the right systems, a good sequence of layers provides you with weather protection, moves moisture away from your skin, conserves or dissipates heat, and does this in the least amount of time.

The graph shows where this product sits within a layering system. Use the layering guide to select additional pieces for your system and understand how they fit together. Find out more about how to layer on our Layering Page.
