MADE IN CANADA
It takes Arc’teryx employees 198 operations at 28 different work stations at Arc’One, its manufacturing facility in New Westminster, B.C., to build the latest version of the Alpha SV shell ($950). Made for climbing, loved for skiing, the trimmer, longer Alpha SV shaved nearly half its weight from earlier models (400g) by upping its fabric to the most durable available and using Gore-Tex Pro to ensure waterproof breathability. arcteryx.com
