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 that 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.
