SV's fabric isn't very 'quiet', so it doesn't work that well in urban situations. Honestly, if you are going to use this primarily for urban areas, get the Beta series. The cut and length would work a lot better for you....

Both the Alpha SV and Alpha LT are cut trim-they won't fit baggy on you at all. You could save some weight and have a softer feel if you went with this Alpha LT, and it will be totally up to anything you take on. However, the Alpha SV is such an amazing jacket if you are really into it-get it!
