Alpha SV-new zipper

By Ranked #654 - Men's Technical Shells February 23, 2005

Hello guys, please check the new zipper before buying. I tested one in a shop with a glass of water, and it leaked considerably. I cupped the jacket and let the water sit in the well for a minute. I am not against Arcteryx, I have three Arcteryx items and they’re great, I’ll buy their stuff again. But that new zipper on the SV does concern me.
