Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's
Bad ass

Ranked #700 - Men's Technical Shells
March 18, 2010
I had this jacket for 3 months picked it up almost brand new but used for 300. The Miro Blue is a great colour and face fabric is super burly. The reason I sold it and bought a Theta [ also for 300] was because of the high pockets. They look cool but were not really helpful to me as I do not really leave the Urban enviroment[ much] so I do not carry a pack.Another feature is the hem locks a little piece of foam tubing around the sides of the bottom cinch great for keeping your jacket down as it would catch on the belt from my jean and keep my shell down. I like the length of the Theta which is still a pretty burly shell. It was cool though I was the dryest guy at the Bus stop LOL
