Funeral colours
Have been waiting to replace the previous version that fell apart and that, despite a lifetime warranty, Arc’teryx refused to honour/repair/replace. Sadly, whoever is in charge of colours at Arc’teryx seems to value the convenience of going straight from mountain to a funeral. Those colour choices are awful. Whenever, exceptionally, there is a more interesting brighter colour, it sells out immediately. For has also changed over time and is quite fitted without much room for layering.

Size down
Size down. I wear a large in just about everything that Arc produces. L in this is WAY too big for me, even with many additional layers underneath. Medium worked much better, even with Cerium and additional layers underneath. I'm 6' and 175 lbs,, as a reference. Great, exceptional jacket in all other ways.

Wear ear protection
The jacket is so loud you couldn't possibly enjoy any type of activity. I returned my Alpha SV for that reason.

Bulletproof
Nice jacket. Feels bulletproof. Have used it in northern Finland and it’s been excellent. Very happy.
