Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's
Perfect light weight jacket

Picked up this jacket in November while in Spain for big wall and some skiing and has surpassed all my expectations. The shell is completely wind and water proof, and when properly layered can take you to single digits. High pockets are perfect while wearing a harness and hood is plenty big for any style of helmet. Two of my favorite features are the high neck hood which protects you against the wind, and the lightweight velcro wrist adjustment. Consistent with other reviews, fit is athletic. The seams are bomb and jacket is so light and packable, I couldnt imagine going ANYWHERE without it.
