Description

Arc'teryx Alpha

Extreme weather, shifting conditions, varied terrain, motion and rest – these are alpine realities. The Alpha is a highly versatile hardshell designed to handle them. GORE-TEX PRO Most Rugged reinforces high-wear areas, while ultralight, highly abrasion-resistant GORE-TEX with Hadron® face fabric zones in low-wear areas shed grams and improve breathability. The helmet-compatible StormHood™ delivers protection without impacting vision, a RECCO® reflector can aid search and rescue, and pit zippers add ventilation.

Arc'teryx Beta

This is our most versatile GORE-TEX shell. Made with a durable 80D face fabric and a GORE‑TEX ePE (expanded polyethylene) membrane that’s light, strong, and PFC-free, it delivers lasting waterproof, windproof, breathable protection with a reduced carbon footprint. The C-KNIT backer adds comfort, and the low-profile StormHood adjusts with a quick pull to provide coverage and maintain lines of sight. Articulation removes restriction, and an embedded RECCO reflector can aid in search emergencies.

Updated with a new durable, lightweight GORE-TEX ePE fabric that offers a reduced carbon footprint and has an 80D face fabric for enhanced durability without added weight.
