Does anyone know the fit of this jacket compared to the alpha SL or alpha LT? Is it significantly shorter in length not as slim?

The fit of the Arc'teryx Alpha jackets compared to the Beta AR: Both styles are fairly trim fits (about the same as the Beta), but not so much as to feel tight. The Alpha Jackets are about 1.5 inches longer on the bottom hem. The Alpha Jackets are both a bit lighter because of the face fabric, with the Alpha LT being the more durable/breathable of the two, due to the use of Gore Pro-Shell vs. Paclight.
