Arc’teryx Explain What Goes Into Their Rock Solid Alpha SV Shell

Designed for tough weather and nearly impossible things like rock, snow and ice climbing, the Arc’teryx Alpha SV hardshell is as impenetrable as jackets come. The perks: it’s durable, breathable, lightweight, comfortable and waterproof, and protects you from the elements. The only apparent downside is its price tag–these go for about $600 USD a pop. However, as you will observe in this video, one pays for exceeding quality and detail when they invest in an Alpha SV Shell. This 10-year-old classic has been redesigned with E3D patterning for an increased ergonomic fit, and N80p-X GORE-TEX® Pro fabric for extreme waterproofing and abrasion resistance. If you like what you see, you can pick up an Alpha SV Shell from official Arc’teryx stockists.
