Ingenious Piece of Gear

By DeskDriver October 5, 2009

After wearing the Alpha SL pullover for a bit, that is one word that comes to mind. This jacket has multiple personalities. It is a top shelf rain shell. Layer some insulation underneath and you have a hyper light alpine shell. Last but not least, it is a stylie city piece with it's generous front pocket to stow your wallet, phone, and other necessities. I love the hood volume, high collar, and huge side zip that both vents, and aids entry and exit of the jacket. Is this an expensive jacket? Yes, but keeping in the Arcteryx tradition the Alpha SL pullover is fashioned from GoreTex Paclite. Peep other jackets of this build, and I am pretty sure this is the price range you will be looking at. Sizing for this item holds true to Arcteryx's fit, which runs a bit more tailored, so keep that in mind. The Sahel color is a killer matte, storm trooper white, it is so hot it will burn your eyeballs out and leave your crew asking where you got that! All in all an outstanding piece of gear.
