Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0103 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

great lightweight shell, very short in the front

By Ranked #792 - Men's Rain Jackets October 29, 2007

this shell would warrant a 5 in my opinion if it were a bit longer in the front. the cut seems strange to me (slightly longer in the back) since whatever i am wearing underneath hangs out in the front (to get wet in the rain). i think most companies are making their lightweight shells like this, but i would sacrifice a few ounces for more coverage. otherwise the construction is bombroof, it's light as a feather, and overall a good choice.
