This is primarily in response to the previous question about the goretex jackets and pants in Patagonia with Nols and how some Nols students didn't recommend their use. i will be doing the semester in Patagonia next fall and was looking for a new jacket to buy. I need it to handle my mountaineering needs but also to perform well in wet environments as i do a lot of trekking on the Appalachian and will be spending a month in Lima next summer. I was looking at the Alpha SV, will it get the job done?
also, i am 6'1'' and weigh 175. I need some room to layer for warmth, will a L be my best bet?

The Arc'teryx Alpha SV is THE bomber mountain jacket; it will more than get the job done for the trips you've got planned. It is a bit longer than the Arc'teryx Beta AR, and also uses the more durable fabric through out, instead of as reinforcement. Sizing wise, you could wear a M if you want a more trim fit, but for really layering up, the L would give you a bit more room, but not fit like a sack. Have fun out there!
