The Arc'teryx Alpha SV Bib for Men is perfect for high altitude, extreme alpine expeditions that require absolute storm protection. The high-cut, breathable, stretch woven bib and side zippers stop just before they would interfere with your harness/hipbelt for safety and convenience. Arcteryx built these ski pants with the Gore-Tex Pro Shell 3 layer waterproof breathable fabric from the waist down and Schoeller Dynamic woven stretch on the top for warmth, movement, and breathability. We know you'll have a lot of things on your mind as you make your push for the summit, your bibs shouldn't be one of them.

great product
Very high quality. I bought it to complement my arcteryx sv alpha jacket. It's very expensive though and I had to save for few years to be able to afford it but I think it's wrth every penny. I am goin to use it for backcountry skiing and also downhill skiing primarily. I am 6'3'' 155 lbs so size is always an issue for me. I bought the medium tall arcteryx sv alpha bib and it was perfect size for me.
Fits great and works perfect
The bib is perfect , I am warm and its so light and just can move free without restriction , I have been walking and skiing with these bibs ... also use them for snow shoeing ... They just feel great !
bombproof bib
expensive but worth the price for mountaineering, ice climbing and even downhill skiing. full crotch zip useful for backcountry adventures. medium was too snug and large slightly big for 6'2" 170lbs. but ultimately chose the large. have experience with lesser arcteryx bibs and they are all top of their class in durablility, performance, etc. Last many hard earned days!
Sizing Information
I wanted to offer some sizing advice to those purchasing these bibs over the Web without the ability to try them on. This will be helpful to people in the XL or XXL range. I'm 6-feet, 240 lbs. -- and it's not all muscle. In pants, I typically wear a 38" waist with a 32" inseam -- mostly to accommodate larger thigh/butt size, not so much waist measurement. Every other bib I've tried on is cut for the more athletically built climber and XL sizes are typically too tight on me in one area or another to allow for layering or freedom of movement -- I use them for ice climbing primarily. So i ordered the XXL on these. Ended up being about an inch too long in length and definitely too baggy all around. I'll be exchanging for an XL which should end up being perfect. Everything everyone says about these is true. These are exactly what you need for a shell without any of the annoying extras. Very streamlined, smooth, lightweight, yet bomber.
most excellent bib!
already owned a pair of these but, had to down size. fit is perfect, wore these bibs last ski season 125 days..and they still look brand new. totally bombproof, the best snowboard bib on the market...and i have tried many! skiers who think you need a inner gaiter as well just do not understand..these bibs DO NOT ride up over your boot..they can't climb over your ski buckles once in place..it's impossible. inner gaiters are a thing of the past! pockets will hold a fair amount..if you want..they are really just for your smoke and ski pass. they do use tiny cord locks but, they work fine..just a little hard to grab..just pre-set and leave alone. the articulation in these have NO competition on the market PERIOD!
