If you don't know ArcTeryx Products, you won't believe this jacket. It shocks the heck out of me that they can manufacture a shell of this thickness (not much) while keeping…

Holly Moose poop, $475 for a jacket! Never thought I’d buy a jacket that cost this much, but wish I would have purchased it earlier. I live in Germany and while I’ve only…

Don't listen to that other review. Moosejaw was awesome in getting me this jacket. I had gotten the previous year's model with rewards points and it didn't fit but by the time…

Arct’ryx do it again! With all the elements you come to take for granted with Arct’ryx, quality fabrics matched with a simple, but fitted, cut. However, the real stand out…

I was felt completely comfortable at -22 F (-30 degrees C) with everyday wear under a jacket. It is fully wind- and water- proof, plus keeps the heat inside. Adjusting the hoo…

The jacket is surprisingly light and it isn't bulky. It can be easily stowed or packed. The core loft performs well to heat you up. The warmth spreads almost immediately after…

This shell will 100% keep you dry while out in wet weather. The only reason I did not give it "5 stars" is because it could be a little longer in length. I have been wearing a…
