No excess features, with everything you need and nothing you don't, the durable, dependable, and lightweight Arc'teryx Alpha LT Jacket for Men is just 12.9 oz of storm fending protection. Designed for fast alpine adventures, the Alpha LT is constructed from GORE-TEX Pro Shell 3L making it extremely waterproof, snow-shedding, windproof, breathable, lightweight, compressible, and packable. Its redesigned Speed Hood covers your noggin in a flash, WaterTight zippers seal the worst of winter, and its Arcteryx HemLock keeps the jacket under your harness as you place your next piece of protection. Don't be fooled by the weight of the Alpha LT, the supple GORE-TEX Pro may be light but it's just as waterproof and much more breathable than its heavyweight counterparts. Easily an everyday jacket, the Alpha LT is just the right weight a shell should be. The zippers are extremely water resistant, and the Napoleon pocket placement is perfect if you are using it with a harness, not to mention the foam inserts. If you're looking for an all around shell that's lighter than most but provides all of the durability of Pro Shell, this Arc'teryx jacket is it!

solid purchase
I have been looking for a new rain/ascent jacket for quite some time and when i came across the Alpha LT I was sold. Without being built with Paclite the jacket is still very lightweight and very packable. The waterproofing you get is outstanding; you can see the Pro Shell at work when water is simply beading and running off the shell. And I don't find myself pouring with sweat because the excellent vapor-escape capability allows my upper body to breath, which is handy when working hard on a climb or simply walking around in rainy/muggy weather. Plan on having this jacket for years to come; I've also had the Arc'Teryx Sidewinder Pro Shell for snowboarding for a few years now and the product quality is still performing as new. I can safely say that I back the Alpha LT jacket %100.

3 ply so you always stay dry
great materials. simple and clean design. tight as a drum. you could go shower in it and never get wet. though i am pretty certain this would only make your friends know that you are crazy....about the jacket. wear it around town. on your hike. or bike ride. just wear it. and for this much money....you should get a lot of use and a lot of value from it. simply put...this jacket rocks. get one. now.

Perfect Technical shell
I bought this for myself and my friends. I am 5.9 and 200LBs. The Large is fiting me well. It aslo has some room for the fleece insulation. The GoreTex Proshell is the best waterproof material in the world. And this shell's design is perfect compare to other brand's similar product. LT is light and comfortable. I will like to recommend if you are looking for a technical shell. It's one of the best in the world.

super lightweight
if you're looking for a jacket for the outdoors you won't find a better choice. Incredibly lightweight, perfectly streamlined fit (I'm bulky enough by myself thankyouverymuch) and the welded seams are a godsend. Snowstorms, rainstorms, wind, they're all no match for the Alpha LT. I tend to leave the pit zips open unless it's storming, it keeps it from going clammy.
