Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's
Bomb proof shell

I. LOVE. THIS. JACKET. Seriously, I think Arc'teryx is one of the best brands on the planet. Unfortunately you do have to pay for that, but it is well worth it in my opinion. I have to say, I feel impervious to the elements when I wear this shell, and it is very easy to adjust all around. The hood has 3 (well really 4) different adjustments so it can fit perfectly comfortable for anyone. My ONE miniscule criticism is that the front side hood adjustments can be hard to pull with gloves when you are wearing it.
Something else to know when buying this jacket is that you shouldn't have to size up. I find this jacket is already sized up a little to fit over layers, so if you are a size small (like me) you should probably buy this jacket as a small.
