Overview

The Arc'teryx LEAF Alpha LT Gen 2.2 is purpose-built for professional tactical teams requiring maximum mobility without sacrificing weather protection. At just 420 grams (14.8 oz), this minimalist shell uses 3-layer GORE-TEX with a micro grid woven backer that provides full waterproof/breathable protection while remaining packable enough to stow in a chest rig or small pack.

GORE-TEX DSP2 (MIL) certification ensures the fabric meets military durability and performance standards for extended field use. The waist drawcord is specifically designed to work over plate carriers and duty belts without interference, while internal stretch zip pockets keep essentials secure without external bulk that could snag on gear.

Underarm pit zips provide ventilation control during high-exertion operations. The helmet-compatible hood features a single-pull adjuster, and the articulated patterning allows full range of motion for weapon manipulation. Available in tactical colorways including Wolf (grey), Crocodile (ranger green), and Black. This is the jacket of choice for professionals who prioritize weight savings and mobility over feature-heavy designs.
