Arc'teryx's flagship product Alpha SV may be too much for daily use, but who cares? It is still one of the best.

When it comes to weather protection, GORE-TEX is definitely a household name. If there is a fashionable marketing slogan, it might sound like: "Want to rain? Think about GORE-TEX." Whether it is the best is still to be discussed, but there are other options, such as TORAIN or Klättermusen's Cutan.

For Alpha SV, GORE-TEX PRO is the preferred protection element. This jacket is Arc'tery's most durable jacket, designed for harsh mountain conditions (SV). Basically, if you are hit by wind and snow while climbing, you may want to wear one of them.

As one of the flagship products of the brand, the jacket has undergone seasonal evolution in the past two decades since its launch in 1998. The main features include a cut front for use with a belt, and for mountain use-no architectural screams about it pop out of the shop.

Despite this, the shell jacket is still one of the most popular items in the brand's daily use. SV seems to be the Arcteryx product of choice for hip-hop and fashion-Virgil Abloh deconstructed a few in his Off-White FW20 demo, Lil Yatchy used the black version when performing at the Alt LDN Festival, and Aminé shook the custom spray Version. Take his face.

Although Alpha SV is one of Arc's most expensive products, its clean lines and eye-catching design (compared to entry-level enclosures such as Beta SL) make it an ideal product.

Whether on foot or not, Arcteryx Alpha SV has penetrated into the mainstream, and it can't go anywhere.

You can now buy Alpha SV online at Arcteryx, Working Class Heroes, Selfridges and other select retailers.
