Arc'teryx Mens Alpha Jacket Black
Extreme weather, shifting conditions, varied terrain, motion and rest – these are alpine realities. The Alpha is a highly versatile hardshell designed to handle them. GORE-TEX PRO Most Rugged reinforces high-wear areas, while ultralight, highly abrasion-resistant GORE-TEX with Hadron face fabric zones shed grams and improve breathability. The helmet-compatible StormHood™ delivers protection without impacting vision, a RECCO reflector can aid search and rescue, and pit zippers add ventilation.
Updated with proprietary Hadron LCP fabric zones in low-wear areas for reduced weight, improved breathability.
Customer Service Tips: The colour for the main zipper pull and chest pocket zippers for the Blue Tetra/Pytheas model will be either blue or black due to supply chain issues and may not be identical to the image shown.
