Out of the two, the LT definitely would suit you better. Although the SV is absurdly durably, it is rather stiff and crinkly, much more so than the Alpha LT. But honestly, I think you should get an Alpha or Beta SL. Both will be lighter, and just as waterproof, but far less expensive. Both are perfect, high end, rain wear

Hi, Both are great jackets, and while the Alpha LT might be a lighter jacket, it's definitely also a high end product that you'll find much more appropriate for the conditions it sounds like you anticipate needing it for. Hope that helps.
