That is not a real test , sorry. Nothing short of a drysuit would pass that second test.

As much as I would love to comment on all that is inaccurate with this video, I won't. All I will point out is that the pronunciation is said as such: Ark - tear - icks, not whatever you are throwing around.

He should test it's 30 minute underwater ability.

law enforcement impressed you've survived to your age.

@StefanKukhuve SV are not better than AR or SL, its made for extremely severe weather conditions. Its made of the most bomb proof face fabric there is. If you dont plan on falling down a rocky scree slope anytime soon i would go with an AR, they are lighter, more flexible and still extremely bomb proof!

DUDE THERE'S AN OPENING WHERE THE JACKET ENDS, it therefore follows that water will enter :|
-
SV are better than AR and SL but wich is best of the theta SV or the alpha SV?
-
"The water came in from the zipper, that's to be expected a little bit" ... haha wow. The water clearly came in from the bottom of the jacket when he submerged himself in a pool.
The first test was bogus also. 10 seconds under a shower doesn't demonstrate much. Jackets that don't even claim to be fully waterproof could probably stand up to that. I'm no jacket tester, but something like standing under the shower for 5 minutes and trying to rub the water into the jacket would be better.

Pfft hahaha
This guy thinks this jacket is a wet suit or something lol

I went swimming many times in my Arcteryx jacket and water went throught, yes I went underwater all the way, lol.
-
Are you serious with this test?
Try stepping under the shower again and look up. I think that would give a very good picture about the waterproofness
And why didn't you dive into the pool and swim under the water?

Are you sure the water came through the zipper? I've got an Arc'teryx Beta SL jacket with the same, "waterproof" zippers and I've never had so much as a drop go through them in a driving rainstorm.

It's been almost a year I have this jacket now, I've tested it pretty much in the Adirondacks. On 1 occasion their was this downpore and I stayed dried. The water simply glides off the jacket. For the pool test, emerged in water, it doesn't stop the water from coming in cause its in a marine environment. But when not emerged in water, it works fine!!!
