Venturing into the mountains often means coming face to face with extreme weather that is prone to change and a variety of terrains that will test your abilities. Arcteryx have updated their Mens Alpha Jacket to the GORE-TEX PRO ePE membrane for the highest-performing weatherproof and breathable protection on the market that is not just lighter, but also more durable, leaving you free to develop skills, reach new heights and gain new experiences in the peaks. This, paired with windproof 50D Hadron face fabric ensures youve got total protection for minimal weight and maximum durability.

The helmet-compatible StormHood has been updated to include a RECCO reflector that is hidden in the hood brim an essential safety tool that aids in search and rescue situations. Equipped with Cohaesive hem adjustments that are easy to use even when wearing gloves or mittens, pits zips that offer easy ventilation when youve warmed up and Velcro-adjustable cuffs to ensure total coverage no matter your position, the Alpha Jacket also provides plenty of pocket space from the inner security pocket or the two harness-compatible chest pockets, to the newly added internal dump pocket for stashing gloves, a beanie or sunglasses. Wherever the mountain trail takes you, the Mens Alpha Jacket stands up to the test of extreme alpine environments.
