Description of Arc'teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's: |
|
The Arc'teryx Men's Alpha LT Jacket takes advantage of three-layer, waterproof breathable Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric to battle the elements. Arc'teryx gave the Alpha LT jacket underarm zips for ventilation, and a helmet-compatible hood for protection when you're belaying. Underarm gussets keep the sleeves from exposing your wrists when you have to reach over your head to swing tools on a steep ice pitch. The Alpha LT Jacket also has high front pockets that you can still access when you wear your climbing harness.
Bottom Line: Go light, stay fast.

| The Arc'teryx Alpha LT is an anomaly. It's super lightweight, but also, durable and breathable. I stuff this in the bottom of my pack on almost every trip I take because it rolls down to the size of a sub sandwich, but fights off foul conditions and abrasion. It's got a cool piece of foam in the bottom hem, that works with the underarm gussets, to keep the jacket from riding up while climbing. It's the size and weight of a throw-away rain jacket, but I'll have it for years. And, the fit is spot on with tiny seams, welded pit-zips, and a smooth sliding front watertight zipper. |

| great but short arms 10-21-09 |

| refer to the others for quality. Nothing to add because it's a great product.
I'm 197cm (6'6'') tall and quite skinny. for me the L is almost to wide (for summer, winter perfect with a light down jacket) and the arms are much too short. XL not recommended for guys like me cuz then they are cut like a bag of patatos. |

| I just got mine in the mail. While it was enroute, I kept wondering if I should have spent the extra $$$ for the Alpha SV. Based on the reviews, I was worried about the length, the room for layering underneath, and the percieved durability of the material (would I be confident in it?). After receiving the LT, my initial impression is pure awe. The jacket is uber-light. While I don't have a scale, I can't tell any weight difference between it and my Patagonia Rain Shadow. But, despite the light weight, the material seems bomber. The clean construction definitely inspires confidence. The fit is perfect. Being 6'3", the back of the large jacket comes down to the center of my butt and the sleeves reach the base of my thumbs, just like a well-fitted suit jacket:) With an R2 fleece and a Patagonia Micropuff vest underneath it, I still had comfortable body and arm movement. The hood adjustments are a work of art. It just sucks down around your head perfectly.
With the bomber construction and light weight, I'm going to have a hard time justifying the use of any of my older lightweight rainshells. This could be the perfect, allaround shell. More to come as (bad) weather permits. |
