Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's
Light and Fast
By Nick Stadie
Ranked #139 - Men's Rain Jackets
November 20, 2008
Seemingly impenetrable to rain, I wouldn't test it too much to abrasion though. If you're going to get Pac-lite, or just can't afford Pro, Arcteryx is the only brand to trust I think. Medium fits with loads of movement but snug enough to still be comfortable at speed on the planks (I'm 5'11" 160lbs). Why alpha you say? Its a bit longer and has a bigger hood for helmets. Otherwise identical to Beta.
