The three-layer adhesive of its storm jacket GTX PRO has a strip width of only 13mm (industry standard 22mm); 16 stitches per inch (industry standard 6-8 stitches).
Archaeopteryx stormtrooper jacket is made of 100% polyester fiber, which is warm and comfortable; Unique underarm breathable zipper design, exert the effect of perspiration and quick drying; By doing waterproof testing on the product, it is proved that it has strong waterproofness, and the use of advanced laminating technology can effectively condense the water droplets into water droplets, quickly slide down, and ensure the ease and pleasure of outdoor activities.
As we all know, archaeopteryx hard-shell stormtroopers have three main families: Alpha, Beta, and Zeta. Among them, the Alpha family is tailor-made for climbing rock climbers, with lightweight design and extreme waterproof performance, which is very suitable for long-term wear in harsh alpine environments.
ARC'TERYX Archaeopteryx Alpha SV Jacket Hard Shell Jacket
Archaeopteryx Alpha SV Jacket Hard Shell Jacket
Alpha SV Jacket is the most well-known hard shell of archaeopteryx, winning numerous awards internationally and has been sought after by fans for many years.
First introduced in 1998, the Alpha SV stormtrooper was designed to be lightweight, streamlined, waterproof and durable, unlike other jackets of the time.
Can be worn with seat belts and is well suited to the needs of climbers. The Alpha SV jacket quickly became the icon of Arc'teryx and revolutionized the outdoor apparel industry.
Alpha SV has undergone several revisions since its introduction in 1998. Especially in terms of lightweighting, the constantly updated iteration of Alpha SV has lost 30% weight compared to the original version.
In addition, the N100p-X fabric used in Alpha SV is by far the best performing GORE-TEX fabric, with twice the abrasion resistance and better water resistance of the first generation.
Alpha SV Jacket's latest model has evolved into its sixth generation.
ARC'TERYX Archaeopteryx Future Shell – BETA LT HADRON™ Hard Shell
The lightest shell in the BETA range, it features a three-layer hard shell, Hadron™ 3L GORE-TEX, and a proprietary Hadron™LCP mesh fabric for light and durable. Helmet-compatible STORMHOOD™ hoods provide additional protection without affecting the perimeter line of sight. Embedded RECCO® reflectors facilitate search and rescue.
The shell of the future uses the lightest patent on the market: LCP (liquid crystal polymer) weaving technology, which weighs only 80 grams per square meter of cloth and only 80 gsm of the hard shell triple layer.
BETA LT HADRON JACKET uses HADRON LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) mesh fabric technology to make HADRON's future shell lighter and thinner to 25D, achieving "lighter". At the same time, beta LT HADRON JACKET's 8mm ultra-narrow sealing emulsion, delicate silky ultra-light water repellent zipper, hidden adjuster to.
BETA LT HADRON™ hard case
This hard shell uses ultra durable hadron, the lightest patented fabric on the market, a revolutionary fabric that can reduce the weight to half of the original under the premise of ensuring the quality of future hard shells, resulting in the lightest three-layer hard shell in the history of Archaeopteryx.
HADRON future shell has advanced environmental protection, HADRON future shell follows the DOPE DYE (stock pre-dyeing) process that Archaeopteryx has always adhered to, abandoning the drawbacks of the traditional dyeing process that wastes 90% dye and a large amount of water resources, dyeing in advance by adding color grains before manufacturing products, and using 100% dyes at the same time, almost no water consumption.
summary
If the Alpha SV Jacket represents the past of archaeopteryx stormtroopers, then the shell of the future, the BETA LT HADRON™ hard shell, represents the future of Archaeopteryx.
