"Love the new cut and N80p-x fabric!" 04/18/13
The new N80p-x fabric is MUCH less 'crispy' compared to the older version. The fabric hand is now very similar to the Alpha LT while being more abrasion resistant. I'm 6'1" and about 185. In size large I can were a RAB Neutrino Endurance Jacket (also large) under and have total freedom of movement in shoulders and arms. I can also cinch up the waist and hem and wear the shell with just a T-shirt and not be too baggy.

"Awesome Jacket - Worth The Price" 03/01/13
Been using this shell for several years now - backcountry skiing/snowboarding. Fantastic fit and functionality. The cut is perfect for all movement - pivots from the shoulders, elbows and waist are free and never result in exposure. Bombproof! Incredibly breathable while being completely 100% sealed from the elements. So far has passed any and all tests that have been thrown at it. This is an extremely expensive jacket, but it has already outlasted my last outerwear shell from a different company, which was roughly half the price. I figure this is about a 10-year jacket.
"Best Jacket EVER Made" 02/27/13
This Jacket is the shiz! This is my third SV and i have beat them into the ground and they hold up very very well. I am 6'1 190 and I wear a large. I have had a large and it is a tad to big. I recommend getting an large if your going to use it for sking, thats what i use my XL for. The large is about belt line for harness hook up. Overall, if you have the money get this jacket!!
"Ridiculously Awesome!" 01/06/13
Fits like a glove (S - 5'8, 155 pds). Looks great – sleek, but not restrictive. Feels like you are wearing a shell that will withstand whatever weather can throw at you. I snowboarded last week in the northeast - the temp was 20F at base, and 7-10F at peak w/ 30mph wind. I didn't feel anything. I could tuck my entire face in the faceguard including the tip of my nose. I could see everything with minimal peripheral vision lost. I was wearing a MH base & Arc'Teryx Aphix! Expensive, but worth it.The bottom of the jacket is curved - front is waist length, but back is hip length. I like it now – helps when sitting on cold lifts. Looks great, feels great, performs great.
"Bullet Proof!" 11/28/12
This is by far the best Gore Tex shell I have ever owned. Stop crying about the price and just buy it! You get what you pay for, bomb proof in the wind, snow, and rain. If you want a shell that will last this is the only one to buy.
"No hand warmer pockets!" 11/17/12
I totally agree with other reviewer's adjectives such as armored fortress, bomb proof, tough, durable, etc.The jacket fits great, cuts the wind exceedingly well, and at times was the only needed layer.My one complaint is that it has no hand warmer pockets! (minus one star!)This past week I was camped high on an exposed ridge with cold wind sucking the heat away. Even with merino wool gloves I found my fingertips getting numb. Simple pockets to get my hands out of the wind would have solved the problem.
"Punches mother nature in her grill" 10/30/12
Seriously, stop reading reviews and buy this already. It's legendary. Fit, A+, Durability, A+, Weatherproofing, A+, Dope Colors, A+ The attention to detail on this jacket is typical of Arc'Teryx, and the redesign definitely improved the SV. I've spent a lot of time in bad weather wishing I had my hot chocolate with marshmallows...but this jacket keeps such silly thoughts at bay while you bask in your dryness. Pair it with an Arc'Teryx Gamma MX jacket if you like warmth, style and freedom of movement (and speech).
"Excellent hardshell, complete protection from the elements" 09/27/12
Purchased the revised Alpha SV as an alpine hardshell to climb Mt Washington, NH later this year. Put it to work during a 5 day trek in the Peruvian Andes. The shell was impenetrable to rain and wind, comfortable, moved easily with the body, and was superbly breathable. I wore the shell for 3 days/nights straight, frequently using it as my only layer and was 100% satisfied with the adaptability of the jacket to the various temperature wind, and rain conditions.
