Why We Like It
This is a fantastic, top-of-the-line waterproof jacket. Itﾒs extremely durable, waterproof, breathable and lightweight; and packs easily. The design allows for full range of motion. The hood can be adjusted easily according to your needs.
DescriptionThe Alpha Jacket is specifically engineered for military and law enforcement applications. It's a highly durable, yet very light, waterproof-breathable 3-layer GORE-TEX XCR shell that's loaded with the technical innovations that Arc'teryx is renowned for. Arcﾒteryx WaterTight zippers and Dry Cuffs seal out rain and snow, and the stowable hood is quickly adjusted with one hand. Highly articulated patterning allows for unrestricted movement, and the trim, anatomical cut won't interfere with gear in the field. The Alpha is highly compressible and can pack easily for quick, effective protection in nasty weather.

- The Best Jacket In The World Review by Rainmaker
-
Quality Price Value This is an absolutely awesome hardshell, in fact I call it the best hardshell in the world! When I saw the price I thought there would be gold thread and platinum pieces in the pocket...but this thing is absolutely awesome, I love shooting in it or just wearing it around in suck weather. Totally recommend it (if you can afford it) but these guys will pay for shipping to return it too so check it out.
