The Arc'teryx Alpha is my choice for very active adventures where a high performance shell is required, but in a lightweight form factor. The Alpha gives me the security of being protected by best in class waterproofing in 3L GORE-TEX� Pro, while Hadron� 3L GORE-TEX� in lower wear areas reduces weight and bulk in my pack, but also breathes better than GORE-TEX� Pro, making for an extremely versatile shell for high output adventures.

Fit tip:

If you notice the fabric wetting out faster than you would like, simply wash the jacket and dry it to remove the oil contamination and bring the DWR back to its full power
