absolutely love the way you guys did this video, very informative but also relaxed and didn't feel like youre reading from a brochure. This will be my first high end out door gear, a want to be able to wear it around town once in a while. i think i can live with not having normal hand pockets
Big fan of the Arcteryx gear. Awesome review!
Great review 👍
Ordered the glitch AR from your website - pretty sure it’s this colour. Great video because I wasn’t sure which size to get!!
Very nice review. Thank you! Do you know if there's a big difference between the Alpha AR and the SV? (esp. regarding waterproofness and breathability). In my mind I would always go for the SV just to increase my odds for staying dry.
It's hard to quantifiably say how much more waterproof/breathable one over the other is, the the SV uses a 100D fabric and Gore-Tex Pro Most Rugged throughout, whereas the AR uses 40/80D fabrics and a mixture of Gore-Tex Pro Most Rugged and Most Breathable. The SV is really only beneficial if you're pushing your gear to the absolute limit. Both will provide more than enough waterproof protection for 99% of scenarios. Harry
Is the DWR used on this jacket really PFC free? There is no mention of this on the Arcteryx website.
Is this better than the beta LT waterproof ? The arms on this jacket look so big for you tho I could not wear mine like that
Nope. It's tougher than the LT though.
Neither is better than the other as such, they're just for different things. This is a far tougher, more technical piece aimed at climbing and mountaineering, so naturally it costs more. Harry
@@trekitt thanks what’s the all round beat down jacket
I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on this, my 2 goretex jackets have lasted 20 years but I’m still thinking I don’t need to spend £500 for a wet weather jacket
It depends what you're up to. Most people don't need the Alpha AR, but for those who need the most durable, technical hardshell for climbing and mountaineering, there are few better options. Harry
What can you buy to put on my arcteryx down jacket to help bounce rain of it Ino it’s not waterproof the jacket but to help it deal with bit of rain ?
This will do the job: www.trekitt.co.uk/clothing/washing-water-repellency-care/grangers-performance-repel-plus-275ml__40001
Some of these prices are absurd now
Pricey but nicey.
Would this be overkill for commuting to work? Whre I live there is allot of rain and wind.
Yes definitely. For everyday use, almost any waterproof from us would work. This is a good option that's significantly cheaper: www.trekitt.co.uk/clothing/jackets/rab-mens-downpour-eco-jacket-black__41887
Ben wants this jacket to be longer sooo bad.
Probably. Ben's also 6 inches taller than the average, though, so for most it's probably fine.
This or the Mountain Equipment Lhotse?
Both great. The Lhotse would be where I'd put my own personal money though. Harry
But the price is ridiculous compared to other makes .
Arcteryx are really good at how they cut their jackets. That's what sets them apart.
@@memphisreines4058 Just don't buy Arcteryx, plenty of alternatives such as Rab. There's no point in getting emotional about it.
@@memphisreines4058 brands like rab unfortunately don’t offer an xs option so I keep buying from Arcteryx and I’ve not been disappointed yet
Main difference is the warranty, Arcteryx has one of the best warranty's of any outdoor companies
£500! Ridiculous!
No way is it worth £500. I'll stick with RevolutionRace.
Your constant tugging down the hem was extremely annoying.
Now that’s some strange way to say “Thanks for the free video!”.
Wish I didn't see this comment first , I couldn't unsee it!
