The Arcteryx Kappa SV is a seriously warm insulated Windstopper® shell jacket and makes an excellent winter belay jacket.
The Kappa SV combines Primaloft® Sport synthetic insulation with a Gore Windstopper® shell to give you loads of warmth, enhanced breathability and excellent all round weather protection.
The Kappa SV is reinforced in key areas such as the arms and shoulders, and it also features a large, helmet compatible storm hood for when the weather really turns grotty.
The Windstopper® shell fabric is fully windproof and, whilst maybe not as fully waterproof as a traditional hardshell jacket, it will happily fend off a little rain or snow with ease. The benefit of using Windstopper® over a hardshell fabric such as Gore Proshell® is the enhanced breathability.
The deep Primaloft sport synthetic fill traps air and gives down-like levels of warmth. Primaloft is widely seen as the market leader in synthetic insulation and has the benefit of retaining most of its warmth even when wet, unlike natural down filled products.
