    Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's:

    This jacket is the best article of clothing and gear that I have ever bought. While this jacket did cost about as much as my first car, the durability and quality are top-notch. I am 5'8", 160 pounds and the medium jacket fits perfectly, sculpting my mere flesh into a timeless piece of Arc'teryx art.

    Two thumbs up!

      Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's:

      I have used the jacket in every possible condition to do a variety of activities. It has surpassed my every expectation, and I often run my sleeve under the faucet in sinks just to see the look on peoples faces when my arm is dry afterwards. Greatest jacket ever made, my only regret is that I couldn't get approved for another mortgage on my house to get one in each color.

      Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's:

      This is a great jacket, well worth the money, allthough it cost a lot more here in Norway than i the Us. Anyway, the solution for air, that you open the zippers under your armhole does not work very well. It would have been better if the zipper where on your shoulders, so that you get fresh air in easyier. Otherwise is it a great jacket

      Comments about Arc'Teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's:

      I wrote the previous review some time ago, but have since had problems with the Alpha Lt. Perhaps I was too rough on the jacket, but hey, it's a proshell product from Arc'teryx so that's what I expected I could do. Moral of the story, the jacket started seeing significant wear and tear of the fabric at the sleeves and the gore-tex membrane was peeling away. I sent it back to Arc'teryx and they agreed the product was faulty....I now have a Alpha SV hanging in my closet [...]. This is a much more durable jacket if the half dozen ounces more don't bother you.Cheers,Arc'teryx's boyfriend
