Pricey, but worth it
I own a variety of shells and this one beats them all hands down. The jacket may come across as being fragile, it is anything but that. My frame is fairly large and muscular at 6'2" and 205lbs, but a size large fits perfectly with plenty of room for multiple or one heavy layer beneath.

Superb Jacket, exactly what I had been looking for!
I ordered this jacket based on reviews, but as soon as I put it on I realized I had found what I needed. The cut is PERFECT. Mine is a (M), and I am 5'10" and 169lb. The Picasso Red is awesome, it should be called Ferrari Red, it just has THAT shade of red. Almost as light as the Beta, but sturdier, with Zip pits, fully adjustable hood, perfect length front and back (length is longer than Beta but slightly shorter than Theta), and the fit is nice and athletic in Medium! I can wear my Hercules or any other fleece underneath it and it looks and feels GREAT! I absolutely LOVE this jacket. Expensive but WORTH the money! I have ZERO regrets! If you can afford it get it, you will not be sorry. It breathes beautifully too.

The best shell available
The fit and function is outstanding. The red is eye catching and the weight of the jacket is unmatched.

Awesome Shell
I own at least a dozen Arc'Teryx garments and this shell is one of the best! It is incredibly light and durable thanks to the three layer GoreTex Pro Shell. I highly recommend this piece.

Arc'teryx Alpha LT jacket is super rain shell.
The quality of this light weight jacket is unsurpassed for waterproof Gore-tex shells. Arc'teryx zipper sealing is a work of art for technical performance. Shorter length perfect for active wear.
