For frigid alpine expeditions and absolute weather protection the Alpha high-rise SV bibs feature new Gore-Tex® Pro Shell fabric.

  • Gore-Tex 3L Pro Shell fabric is tough, extremely breathable and durably waterproof and windproof
  • Gore Micro Grid lining is a thin, low-denier, low-density woven fabric that allows the shell to slide easily over mid layers
  • A reduced number and thickness of seams offers improved abrasion- and snag-resistance, enhanced breathability and decreased weight
  • High-cut bibs are made from Schoeller® Dynamic GNS stretch-woven fabric for breathable warmth and mobility; top edge is laminated
  • Bibs features quick-adjust suspenders, a watertight, through-the-crotch zipper and a laminated waist drawcord
  • Includes two pleated bib pockets and two internal pockets, all with laminated zippers
  • Watertight 3/4-length leg zippers stop short of harness/hipbelt areas; zipper garages protect zipper heads
  • Removable, molded EVA foam kneepads are housed in laminated mesh pockets
  • Keprotech™ instep patches are highly abrasion resistant
  • Adjustable cuffs have lace hooks for securing pants to boots

Imported.

Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha SV Bib - Men's:

I got these if the full crotch zip version (which is essential for use with a climbing harness. and in a medium/tall size. My waist is 32" and my inseam is 32". I'm on my second pair of these bibs. The first set lasted through 5 seasons of touring in the Wasatch, a ski expedition to Baffin Island, ski descents of Hood, Shasta, St. Helens, and the Haute Route. I would have to estimate the total number of days of use at 200. The only thing that I didn't like is the fact that the knees wear out too quickly. Admittedly, I am a telemark skier and tend to be hard on my gear. I would also say that all of the many pairs of gore-tex shell pants I've owned by numerous manufacturers have had fragile knees. Bottom line: If you can deal with patching the knees these are the best expedition, full condition bibs for climbing and skiing on the market.

  • Sizing:
  • Feels true to size

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha SV Bib - Men's:

    This seems to be a nice pair of bibs, but if you're thinking about buying them for skiing, you should know that they don't have gaiters/cuffs at the bottom of the legs to keep out the snow. These bibs are for mountaineering. Check out the ArcTeryx site for verification. If you want skiing bibs, check out the ArcTeryx Minuteman, Theta SK, or Stinger bibs. None of those come up as high on the body as these, but they have cuffs to keep the powder out.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
