Alpha Jacket Men's
Description
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 in low-wear areas 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.
Product tip: This product contains PFAS chemicals, but is exempt from the January 2025 legislative deadline. Arc’teryx is guided by science and committed to transitioning to PFAS-free chemistry across our line over the coming years.
