Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's
Minimalist
By Cody Gauer
Ranked #1913 - Men's Rain Jackets
December 12, 2008
If you want an ultra light, high tech, top quality minimalist shell, this is it. mine has one pocket, and it is enough to stash your ID and keys, the rest is only what you need. This years has two pockets, a nice add i thought. I have taken it through West coast downpours and skied Colorado Backcountry in it. Gore-Tex Paclite shaves weight and keeps you nice and dry. and the styling is typical Arc'teryx, subtle but kick @$$. I have it in grey, and my bro has the Wasabi, I like his better.
