Mens Alpha AR Jacket

A finely tuned balance of light weight, extended durability, ergonomic performance and superior weather protection, the Men's Alpha AR Jacket is a solid choice for climbers and alpinists looking for an all-round hardshell to perform across the spectrum of alpine conditions.Ergonomic fit is a key Arc'teryx design detail. True freedom of movement is not achieved by adding excess volume or space, but is the result of careful utilisation of ergonomically planned articulation designed to move as the body moves. Arc'teryx Ergonomic Three-Dimensional (e3D) patterning crafts the shapes of the parts in key joint areas to bring a remarkably efficient level of articulation that provides the Alpha AR's exceptional range of motion.The Alpha AR is a climber's jacket, and features are selected to meet the alpine environment. Easily accessible crossover pockets sit high and work with harness and packs. The full coverage helmet compatible StormHood cinches tight, moves with the head and provides exceptional peripheral vision. Removable HemLock inserts keep the jacket in position while in use with a harness. Pit zips add ventilation, and laminated zips help keep out weather.The Gore-Tex Pro waterproof and breathable fabric is notably lightweight and durable. Reinforcements at the shoulders, forearms and cuffs are specifically placed to protect areas exposed to high levels of abrasion.
