Arc'teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's
great jacket
By Kyle E.
Ranked #2492 - Men's Technical Shells
January 20, 2009
Arguably the best combination of waterproof/breathable/durable/lightweight/technical/stylish. It is almost as light as paclite yet more durable and breathable. All the technical features are perfect. I use it mostly for winter hiking but i think it would work for just about any condition that warrants a hardshell. I used it a few weeks ago for a few high peaks where we where on a ridgeline for about 6miles. Heavy wind, blowing snow, and thick spruce trees didn't touch me and i dried out quickly after each ascent witout losing any warmth. I am 220 6ft and large fits great with just about any combinations of layers underneath.
