Can this jacket be used in all-season weather? I plan on using it for rainy summers instead of buying another shell which is lighter weight and less durable.
Does the all-around thicker material of the SV jackets reduce breathability compared to the AR or LT jackets (which use thick and thin materials on the jacket)?

The Arc'teryx Alpha SV is a superb all-year jacket. The breathability difference between the AR and LT version is minimal, and almost un-noticeable. For a jacket you want to use hard for years, the Alpha SV can't be beat.
