Wow, this totally answered all of my questions about this jacket. I was wondering if it would fit well with the atom sv, and guess what? He has it displayed with the EXact setup and color combo I wanted :) I CANT WAIT!!!

www.thedopeststuff.com (gotta add the 'www'). Glad you liked the video. The Atom series are cut to layer under the Beta/Alpha series, so get it in the same size.

Nice video. I just got my lichen Alpha LT yesterday and I'm blown away by it! I'm a veteran Arc'teryx hardshell-er but this is my first Alpha LT. Now I'm waiting for Arc'teryx to make some more size Smalls (soon, please!!!) and get them into the stores so I can get another one in a different color (maybe two!) My overall favorite is still the Alpha SV but what I love about the LT is that it basically takes your SV and recreates it in such a way that it still feels very familiar. Sort of like the same jacket but lighter and more versatile for Spring-Summer hiking. You guys keep blowing me away with the best stuff there is. Nothing else even comes close (I'm talking to you, Mammut!) My two favorite companies start with and "A": Apple and Arc'teryx! Nice job, guys!
