The Arc’teryx LEAF Hide Dry Line debuted at SHOT Show and provides full weather protection and concealment using new GORE-TEX® MultiCam® print textiles and performance designs. It now includes both the Alpha (Jacket, Parka and Pants) and Gryphon Series (Halfshell and Pant).
The Alpha Parka features a longer hem with Arc’teryx features that are far from standard including chest pockets
This photo shows you the production model with color matched zippers. Arc’teryx has shown a great deal of attention to detail.
The Gryphon Halfshell is the ultimate hybrid hooded jacket that combines weather-resistant, durable hardshell fabric across the yoke and sleeves with softshell seamless torso and Roll and Stow sleeve system.

Good call on making a parka. The alpha jacket is way too short in my opinion (even shorter than a TAD spectre).
Just got my Alpha jacket the other day and I find the length perfect. Just short enough to have access to the stuff on my belt, but long enough to conceal my gun if I need to. Glad to the LE in LEaf is considered.
Depends on what you’re doing. The parka would probably be best suited if you’re static for extended periods and won’t be rucking with a waistbelt. Not saying one is better than the other; it’s just another tool in the toolbox.
