"As the burliest mountain pants in the Arc'teryx lineup, the Men's Alpha SV Bibs keep you bone dry in the worst mountain storms thanks to three-layer Gore-Tex Pro material. Not only do these waterproof breathable pants fight off horrendous snowstorms with ease, they also keep you from overheating with an ultra-breathable Schoeller Dynamic softshell upper. Waist-to-ankle side zippers provide ventilation and allow you to put on these pants even when you're wearing mountaineering boots. Arc'teryx added a through-the-crotch zipper to the Alpha SV Bibs to make answering natures call a little easier."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The high-cut, breathable, stretch woven bib and side zippers that stop just before they would interfere with your harness/hipbelt make the Arc'teryx Alpha SV Bib for Men, perfect for high altitude, extreme alpine expeditions when you require absolute storm protection. Arcteryx built the these ski pants with the Gore-Tex Pro Shell 3 layer waterproof breathable fabric from the waist down and Schoeller Dynamic woven stretch for warmth, movement, and breathability on the top because they know you will have a lot on your mind as you make your push for the summit and your bibs shouldn't be one of them."

User Reviews

Alpha SV Bib
Reviewed by Shannon, Jan 30, 1999

"The Alpha SV Bib is the perfect compliment to the jacket. Lightweight waterproof and durable. This bib has waterproof zippers that run the length of the legs, and have two-way zippers that allow for venting or removal in a flash. Arc'Teryx has placed a durable laminate material at the cuff of the inside pant to reduce crampon damage, and they also placed draw strings at the ankle for makeshift gaiters."
