Perfect all around

By Matthew Meyer Ranked #1231 - Men's Technical Shells November 26, 2009

The Alpha LT has quickly become my go-to jacket, getting grabbed before my Pac-lite shell, because it is THAT nice. The face fabric is unbelievably bomber, especially when you consider its weight(or lack thereof). The hood fits great with and without a helmet, which is something that not many companies can pull off. The cut is typical Arc'teryx, nice and slim without being restrictive or tight. At 6'3" and 200lbs, the XL fits me pretty much perfectly. The drop tail keeps the drafts out, even when bending over.

I would also completely agree with the reviewer below that compares this jacket with a luxury European car. Will another cheaper jacket do the job? Yes, absolutely. But if you have the means, this jacket will get it done with more comfort and style, not to mention last for quite a long time.
