Arc’teryx Nuclei SV Review: Warmest Arc’teryx synthetic

Last updated: March 13, 2023 by Canberk Koksal

Me in my Nuclei SV (Men's). I visited Pfänder mountain located at western Austria with it and loved this jacket. Extremely comfortable and warm. Two way zipper and huge pockets are also amazing. 

Nuclei SV (Men's) is the warmest synthetic insulated jacket in Arc'teryx's line up. It's a stunning jacket and the good news is that its women's counterpart is on its way for FW 2023. 

As you can also see in this Best Arc'teryx Jackets article, Nuclei SV is one of the best Arc'teryx jackets ever. 

Summary

Extremely generous insulation amount (180 + 90 gsm of Coreloft Continuous) of the Nuclei SV makes it the warmest Arc'teryx synthetic. Its ability to get stuffed into itself makes it versatile. Arato 15 face fabric is smooth to touch and makes the inner fabric is pretty comfortable to contact with the skin, although it's fragile and hence not suitable for things like climbing. 

3 external (1 chest + 2 hand warmers) and 2 internal drop-in pockets are roomy and offer plenty of storage options. As if all these aren't enough, Nuclei SV also offers a two way zipper (rarely seen in Arc'teryx jackets), which offers added breathability and comfort - especially when wearing a longer jacket like Nuclei SV. 

All in all, it's almost impossible to be disappointed with this stunning jacket. 

Arc'teryx Nuclei SV Review

Two way zipper of Nuclei SV increases comfort when you're sitting down with it. I've been to Safari trips with this jacket and never had an issue. Click on the image to see Nuclei SV on arcteryx.com. 

Arc'teryx shines the most when it comes to synthetic insulated jackets. For down jackets, it still outperforms other brands like Rab and Mountain Equipment. But the difference there is less than the difference in synthetics.

  • #A sidenote here: Arc'teryx's PDF guide to jackets is GOOOLLLLDDDDD. Absolutely check that out too if you're interested in buying one. 

Synthetics from Arc'teryx like Atom AR, Proton LT, Kappa, Fission SV, Nuclei FL and Dually Belay are all fantastic and you probably have never heard any bad things about any of them. Overwhelming majority of users are extremely happy with them. 

Some of these jackets have gotten discontinued over time and Arc'teryx had recently brought the Nuclei SV back to life. Now it is the one that carries the flag in front. Along with Atom AR and Nuclei FL, it's the best synthetic jacket for casual use in cold/freezing damp weather. 

I don't know if the thing I love the most about this jacket is the comfort, warmth, pockets or weather resistance. 

Start with checking out the table below and find if the Nuclei SV is too warm for you. If it is too warm, then either go after the Atom AR or the Nuclei FL.

View full table at https://outdoorcrunch.com/best-arcteryx-jacket/. 

If you're confused now and don't know which jacket best corresponds to your own needs, then follow the advice given in https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/jacket-finder/. 

The temperature ratings in this list are intended to represent the lowest temperatures you can wear each jacket without feeling uncomfortably cold. 

Keep in mind that these are only approximate values, assuming: 

  • worn over a shirt only and no shell over, 
  • during daily use (strolls, power walks etc at most - no high output activities), 
  • with light wind, 
  • and when it's dry out.

These values applicable to your torso only. Your hands, legs and feet are still subject to their own additional insulation.

The best practice is usually to use this table for comparing each jacket to one another, rather than pinpointing their ratings. 

Also, ratings will best respond to males. As most women tend to run colder than men, for women, shifting these ratings a bit is recommended. 

Always opt for the warmer option when in doubt. For jackets with Atom AR level warmth and beyond, recommended is almost always the hooded models.

Let's dig deeper. 

Warmth

Front, back and upper arms are all equipped with ample Coreloft Continuous at 180 gsm. In addition to that, the sides, hood, lower arms and underarms are reinforced with 90 gsm of it. 

A single layer of 90g/m2 at underarms, lower arms, sides, and hood. And two layers for a total of 190g/m2 everywhere else (front, back, upper arms). 

Weather Resistance

Like all other Arc'teryx synthetics, Nuclei SV also provides amazing weather resistance. It also comes with a DWR coating. 

The pockets are not only huge but they're also very convenient and well thought. My Yeti Rambler 26 oz easily fits inside one of the inner drop-in pockets. 

  • What is DWR by the way?

DWR is a coating. 

It's basically sprayed on to the surface of these jackets as a finish. It stands for Durable Water Repellent - which means that water will be repelled under wet conditions instead of soaking into the fabric. 

DWR also decreases dry time. 

It's a good thing these jackets are coated in DWR, but pay attention to the fact that DWR is a coating - meaning that it will wear off over time. 

Which is why you might want to invest in a DWR spray such as this one for after treatment. 

As you see, there's a strong correlation between FP x FW and temperature ratings, but not more than, say, 80%. I explained why this happens here in this post of mine. 

Durability

Probably the only area where the Nuclei SV doesn't shine. The outer fabric is tear prone but I'd highly doubt you'll experience any problems if you're planning to wear it casually. 

I'd layer with a shell if I were to wear it when climbing or bouldering (e.g activities where the jacket experiences high wear). 

Two way zipper

Lengthy design of Nuclei SV adds to its warmth as it covers your butt more than shorter jackets. Still, with a lengthier jacket, comfort is what you sacrifice a little bit in return.

This is because the jackets get crumpled when sitting down. It can be especially uncomfortable when driving or cycling. 

Arc'teryx sidetracks this problem by adding a two way zipper. It basically allows you to keep the upper half of the jacket zipped while keeping the bottom half unzipped. As a result, the jacket doesn't get crumpled anymore as you legs don't get in the way. 

Most Arc'teryx users usually complain about Arc'teryx not having enough amount of jackets with a two way zipper. This puts the Nuclei SV even more in front compared to the other models. 

Other benefit of a two way zip is that it allows for mechanical venting. Mechanical venting is the most important component when it comes to the ultimate breathability of a jacket.

Mechanical venting is achieved either by pit zips or a two way zipper. A toasty jacket like Nuclei SV definitely has the potential to overheat most of us even when using it for low output activities (e.g walking). 

So it's amazing to have an option like this - especially if you have a special desire about not sweating but at the same time you wouldn't want to get cold either. 

In other words, it allows fine tuning for the warmth level. 

Packed size

Packed size of Nuclei SV isn't that small. 

That said, when it comes to down vs synthetic jackets, higher weight and bigger packed sizes are what you trade off in return for amazing weather resistances. Because down always packs smaller. 

I still think it's a must to make this feature available in all synthetic jackets as it adds to the versatility quite a bit and is almost always worth the extra price. Most other Arc'teryx jackets don't offer this feature. 

Conclusion

Another photo of Nuclei SV. My girlfriend was wearing a Patera Parka in Lucent color. Man I can't wait my invisalign treatment to over... Being Turkish I feel like drinking tea 7/24. 

Extremely generous insulation amount (180 + 90 gsm of Coreloft Continuous) of the Nuclei SV makes it the warmest Arc'teryx synthetic. Its ability to get stuffed into itself makes it versatile. Arato 15 face fabric is smooth to touch and makes the inner fabric is pretty comfortable to contact with the skin, although it's fragile and hence not suitable for things like climbing.

3 external (1 chest + 2 hand warmers) and 2 internal drop-in pockets are roomy and offer plenty of storage options. As if all these aren't enough, Nuclei SV also offers a two way zipper (rarely seen in Arc'teryx jackets), which offers added breathability and comfort - especially when wearing a longer jacket like Nuclei SV. 

All in all, it's almost impossible to be disappointed with this stunning jacket.

Arc’teryx Alpha Parka Review

Last updated: December 14, 2022 by Canberk Koksal

The release of Alpha Parka once again revealed the reason why Arc'teryx as a brand is the Apple of the technical outerwear industry. The products they launch are so far beyond today's textile technology that their designs orient the direction of the evolution of jackets. 


Alpha Parka (Men's - Women's) is the warmest jacket Arc'teryx has ever manufactured. 

Its 296 grams of 800 FP down provides extreme warmth, and makes the Alpha Parka the loftiest Arc'teryx down jacket of all time, standing at 251,600 cubic inches (=296 x 800) of total fill. 

On top of that, this absolute unit of a parka is also reinforced with a whooping 90 gsm of Coreloft synthetic insulation, which is extraordinary when you look at the industry standards from this point of view. 

As if all these aren't enough, together with its cousin Alpha Lightweight Parka (Men's - Women's), Alpha Parka is also the only Gore-Tex down jackets Arc'teryx has ever manufactured. 

I know. Just shot after shot with no pause. Hard to believe how rich this jacket is in terms of performance and capability. 

Bring all these together and you get a jacket that almost looks and feels like it's from the future... and of course, a staggering price tag in return. 

Quick links: 

  • https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/mens/alpha-parka 
  • https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/womens/alpha-parka

No other jacket impresses me even nearly as much as the Alpha Parka (Men's - Women's). As long as it's dry and extremely cold out there, it can be counted on without any second thought. Not only is it the warmest Arc'teryx jacket of all time, it's also the only Gore-Tex Arc'teryx down jacket that Arc'teryx has ever manufactured. 

It also stuffs into itself and comes with a two way zipper to allow for more comfort and mechanical venting where needed, which makes it one of the most versatile jackets out there (hiking, mountaineering, ice climbing, walking around town, you name it). The only downside to this astonishing item is its staggering price.

Warmth

Arc'teryx Alpha Parka is the warmest jacket Arc'teryx has ever manufactured.

As if 296 grams of 800 FP down wasn't enough, this absolute unit of a parka is also reinforced with a generous 90 gsm of Coreloft synthetic insulation in moisture heavy areas.
