The SV is going to keep you not only warm but oh so dry. I've worn this thing in the most rugged ice conditions on Mt. Washington, and at Lake Willoughby when the wind is ripping, snow is blowing, or the rain is falling and I've stayed completely dry. Highly suggest this for your kit.

A bit heavier than other Arcteryx options, but if I know that I will be wearing the shell all day, in severe conditions, Ill choose this.
