Arc'teryx expanded its range of outdoor apparel for the season with the introduction of a variety of new jacket designs, including the Alpha AR Jacket.
Available in vivid turquoise and orange colorways, the Alpha AR Jacket offers a bold aesthetic that makes it perfect for outdoor adventurers who like to remain as visible as possible while they're out hiking, climbing, or taking part in any other seasonal activities. With its lightweight build and all-round weather capabilities, the jacket is easy to pack, comfortable to wear, and is well-equipped to handle whatever conditions it comes into contact with. Made with high-quality GORE-TEX, it's able to balance breathability with water and windproofing capabilities with ease.
With climbers in mind, Arc'teryx reinforced the jacket's high-wear points with N80p-X GORE-TEX Pro, included plenty of secure storage throughout the pockets, and made the StormHood compatible with helmets. Other features include ventilated armpits that can be zipped down to allow for more airflow, and interior pockets that keep valuables safe.
