Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket - Women's



The Advantage of Welded Seams
The past holiday season, my family took a vacation to the Pacific Northwest and ended the trip in Yosemite National Park. Despite the constant rain, we kept our plans to hit the trails. I threw on my Arc'teryx Alpha SL and stayed dry on our short 6 mile hike.


Perfecting the basics
I've used this jacket for about 20 ski days so far (mostly resort skiing and a couple of touring days). It's very lightweight, perfect for touring, and has just the very basic features, but the fit and function are ideal. The hood works very well over a helmet - keeping you warm without limiting visibility or movement. Cuffs, sealed seams, and zippers, etc. are all just right - as you'd expect from Arc'teryx. It's light enough for the warmest ski days and I can just add layers the colder it gets. And I really love the blue color. ;)


Great Shell!!
I haven't really had the opportunity to really put this jacket to the test. So far, in the cool winter/spring climates (-10C), I have found it to be great. I put on a fleecy pullover under the jacket and during a hike I am very comfortable as I don't feel bulky. It is a good length overall, and I like where the pocket is away from where your gear sits. It is so light I forget that I am wearing it. I love the red, the style, and the price since I found this exact jacket in Canada for way more!!! This is the second time I've purchased from this site and I love it!! I will continue to buy my adventure gear from here since their pricing is great and their customer service is FANTASTIC!!
