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.
