Alpha SV Jacket Women's
Description
The iconic Alpha SV is a proven performer in severe alpine conditions. Utilizing extremely durable yet breathable GORE-TEX PRO with Most Rugged Technology, we have paired our most durable face fabric – made from 100% recycled materials – for incredibly long-lasting storm protection. The micro grid backer enhances resistance to abrasion and contamination, and the latest design updates make it easier to repair your Alpha to extend its life. Featured for confidence in extreme conditions, the Alpha SV includes an embedded RECCO® reflector for improved searchability in emergency situations, our helmet-compatible StormHood™, and articulated construction that frees you to move across mountain terrain.
