The Alpha SV has a Polartec® Wind Pro liner which can be taken out for drying and adds to the gloves’ breathability. Let’s look at some images and talk a bit about the features, shall we? The Alpha SV came out in the fall of 2010 and I am happy to see they have done away with the mustard colour.

Or something to keep in your pack when touring to throw on for the descent or if it gets chilly. Though these gloves are positioned by Arc’teryx to be a “backcountry” glove, in my experience they’d make a better all-day-at-the-resort glove. The leather part of the glove is actually overlaid on the GORE-TEX® Pro Shell layer which makes it entirely waterproof.

Part of “The Alpha Project,” the Alpha SV gloves are made for dexterity and comfort. Slip them on and you’ll feel right away that there is something special going on with these gloves. Admittedly, this review is a bit of a “first look” because we haven’t had them long enough to talk to their durability and warmth on super cold days (or as cold as we get here in BC, anyway).įirst thing you notice is the fit.
