Arc'teryx's lightest shell, the Alpha SL Jacket for men takes a straightforward approach to alpinism. Full storm protection in a minimalist design provides just the right defense against hostile storms. Built with weight-shaving GORE-TEX® PacLite®, a helmet compatible storm hood, laminated cuff, hem with quick-dry chin guard, and laminated pit zips seal against the weather. Designed at hip length, one hand pull cords and chest pocket add quick convenience.
Awesome jacket
I bought this jacket without having touched an equivalent in a store. It's lighter than the lightest gore-tex product I've ever worn. It looks pretty cool for a gore-tex jacket. I plan on wearing it as a hard shell for outdoor stuff this fall, and for skiing this winter. I don't like big jackets; I prefer layering. Based on just getting my hands on it, I think it should be good. If it's not, I'll get back on here and complain about it. It got here really fast too, which is not always the case where I am.
Great Jacket, Big Hood!
This is an excellent jacket!!! It surpassed my expectations, but that's no surprise for this companies attention to detail and quality. It keeps you very dry and works great as a hard shell (I'm using it with a fleece for skiing). Please NOTE the big hood, I was taken by surprise how large it was, it's made to be helmet compatible. Although there are multiple draw cords to fix this. Although, this would not defer me from purchasing it. I enjoy the pocket placement. I enjoy the fit, it's a very good, athletic fit. I would defiantly recommend this to everyone!!!
Just GREAT
nice fitting,perfectly designed.The best choice,at normal price. I definitely recommend it!

top brand top quality
Bought this jacket after a long search, I had my eyes on Beta SL and this Alpha SL as my rain jacket. Bought but returned the Beta SL, it's just too short. Alpha sl is little longer and mixes a slim fit with the right amount of room. Its ultralight and the hood fits well over my big head. Very satisfied!
Great jacket
it's a good fit for me ,The side arm vent was also nice for removing heat and moisture from inside .I would definitely recommend it.
Ultralight and Completely Waterproof
The Alpha SL does exactly what it was designed to do and does it perfectly. It's no frills, made from super light yet durable and waterproof Gore-tex Paclite, it's light enough to pack anywhere and when the storm hits it will keep you dry. This jacket is another example of Arcteryx quality. I love the wasabi and brilliant blue colors, very unique and vibrant but there's black too if you prefer something more subtle. I think the red zipper on the front adds a nice touch to the overall style of the jacket.
Lightweight- but tough, great all-arounder
This jacket fits nicely into the world of 4 season use- designed very lightweight can be worn in summer storms and also layered over fleece or softshell for winter insanity! great trim but full fit (do not agree it runs small, runs right on target for Arc'teryx stuff- great construction and also made in Canada which is what you want compared to a nice Vietnamese piece- breathes and fends off weather assaults, good deal!
great gear!
nice fitting. satisfied. good
