From Backcountry.com:
"The Arc'teryx Men's Alpha LT Jacket fights off the worst mountain weather with three-layer, waterproof breathable Gore-Tex Pro fabric but only adds 12.9 ounces to your pack. When you plan for a fast-and-light assault on a massive alpine face, you need a jacket that won't weigh you down but gives you more protection than a paper-thin shell. Arc'teryx gave the Alpha LT jacket pitzips for ventilation when the going gets sweaty, and a helmet-compatible hood for total shelter in ugly weather. Underarm gussets keep the sleeves from exposing your wrists when you have to reach over your head to swing tools on a steep ice pitch. The Alpha LT Jacket also has high front pockets that you can still access when you wear your climbing harness."

"First of all, I have no idea what that guy was talking about, I have the Pro shell version (Fall 07) and it couldn't be more waterproof. To be honest though, I was afraid to wear this jacket after spending so much money on it and feeling how light it is."

Men's Alpha LT Jacket
Reviewed by Charlie Hensel, Feb 19, 2007

"I took the jacket to India to climb at 13,000 ft. I was soaked in every condition, warm rain, cold rain, cold monsoon rain. No one told me the need to treat the jacket with a DWR revivex product, even though it was brand new. I traded up to the Alpha SV and I have no confidence at all it will work on the Appalachian Trail this winter."
