Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's
Untouchable!
By mountain_dude
Ranked #2675 - Men's Technical Shells
April 27, 2007
Submitted to several different tests during a ski-odyssey in Chamonix.
Passed
- Strong winds
- Blistering cold
- Sunshine...and smaller amounts of prespiration due to longer hikes.
Failed
- Nothing...yet...
I especially like the high collar, the "air condition" in the armpits and the hood when it comes to functionality.
But when it comes to design this jacket is UNTOUCHABLE!
And well worth the "investment".
