nearly here is the Lunar New Year, and Acr’teryx is celebrating the start of the Year of the Wooden Snake by releasing a special, limited-edition version of their Alpha SV jacket.
The Canadian clothing company collaborated with artist Romon Kimin Yang, a versatile creator, to celebrate the approaching new year by creating a design influenced by “urushi” – a term meaning the natural lacquer from Southeast Asian trees of the same name, known for its healing properties and long history in crafting durable, ornamental items.
Yang, more commonly recognized as ROSTARR, was born in South Korea but moved to the United States at just one year old. This American artist expresses that his Asian heritage played a significant role in shaping the design, noting that he holds great respect for the snake, a creature he finds mysterious and beautiful.
This special edition jacket is crafted using robust triple-layer GORE-TEX Pro 2.0 fabric, Arc’teryx’s toughest and most reliable material. Not just waterproof and windproof, this N100d material also offers exceptional resistance to wear and tear. It’s no surprise given that the Alpha SV jacket is one of their top-tier climbing jackets, designed to endure the demanding conditions of mountain climbing.
This item boasts an adjustable hood that can be used with both climbing and cycling helmets, due to its unique “StormHood” technology by the brand. It also has a fully waterproof pocket located on the left arm, along with two similar pockets on the chest area, and two more internal pockets for extra, safe storage space.
Additionally, for adventurers intending to wear this jacket in rugged terrain, the Alpha AV features RECCO® reflectors to aid search and rescue teams in locating you if, just in case, you were to become lost.
The Arc’teryx “Year of the Wood Snake” Alpha SV jacket is currently on sale at a few exclusive outlets, with each piece going for $1,000 USD. Unfortunately, it cannot be purchased online.
