Arc'teryx Alpha Jacket
Level 6 of the Arcteryx layering system*
The Alpha Jacket is specifically engineered for military and law enforcement applications. It's a highly durable, yet very light, waterproof-breathable 3-layer GORE-TEX® XCR® shell that's loaded with the technical innovations Arc'teryx is renowned for. Our WaterTight™ zippers and Dry Cuffs™ seal out rain and snow, and the stowable hood is quickly adjusted with one hand. Highly articulated patterning allows for unrestricted movement, and the trim anatomical cut won't interfere with gear in the field. The Alpha is highly compressible and can pack easily for quick, effective protection in nasty weather.

• Dry Cuffs™ with laminated die-cut Velcro® - We've die-cut and laminated our cuffs to create a super tight weatherproof seal. Our non-stitched cuff tabs are stronger, easier to use and will not lift or pull off.
• Lamination Technology - We've pioneered the technology of lamination construction to create leaner, more functional and durable garments. Instead of sewing, we glue in our pockets, zippers, collars, hems, drawcords and cuffs.
• High stitch count of 14-16 stitches per inch - With a stitch count higher than industry standards, we achieve stronger seams that capture more yarns and eliminate the need to double stitch.
• WaterTight™ Zippers and Zipper Garages™ - Our revolutionary WaterTight™ zippers, finished with moulded Zipper Garages™, ensure a leak free seal with reduced bulk and fewer seams.
