sidewinder has a zipper that travels up the side of your face instead of a center zip. pockets are also in different spots on the jacket, and the alpha cut is slimmer. sidewinder has a recco reflector (pretty much useless).more generally, alpha sv is built for going up (mountaineering, ice climbing), sidewinder is built for going down (backcountry/big mountain skiing)
