Does anyone here own this jacket? I've recently found this jacket for a very reasonable price and I am now contemplating purchasing it. I had been thinking about buying the Alpha SL pullover but now that I found the LT for cheap, I'm wondering if it's a better buy. Thanks.

Any leads on where it's on sale?

One advantage of a jacket over a pullover is that it's drier to remove a soaking wet jacket, than pulling a wet pullover over your head. The LT would be more breathable as well.

After I buy mine, I'll be more than happy to let you know. I just want to ensure I get one.

The Alpha SL and LT jackets are totally different jackets. Not to mention Alpha SL and Alpha SL Pullover

The Alpha LT is more on par with Alpha SV.

I have both the Alpha LT is a wicked full-on hardshell for skiing and climbing, sl is great for backpacking where you just need protection but I do use it a lot for climbs where I might need it on the decent or in the afternoon. LT fabric is bomber and made in Canada. For like 2 oz I would get the LT if your getting it for a deal.
