Alpha sl jacket for men rocks - Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket - Men's

Pleasantly surprised by this jacket as I was worried it might be too thin or not durable. While I have not taken it backpacking or used it for rough applications, I can say that it handles moderate to strong rain and wind very well. I got the riptide color and love it. Unlike the Campsaver.com image that represents an older Alpha SL model, mine only has the single Napoleon chest pocket with a white embroidered Arc'teryx logo. It also has external hood adjustments on the front and rear which work great. About the only negative attribute is a lack of pit zips but this is an SL jacket which means you sacrifice the added weight including extra hand pockets. Anyway, big thumbs up! I wear a medium with most Arc'teryx tops including this one and my measurements are: 180lbs, 42R, Shirt = 16" x 34-35", and waist = 34". Very happy with this Campsaver experience as usual and will continue to do business with them :o)
