The outer material is very high quality, pictures can't do it justice. The coreloft insulation is super soft, springy, and gives the feel of the perfect balance between weight…

Bought this for the hubby because he needed something he could just throw on in our cold WY winters without having to layer up. I was hoping it would be like my North Face Red…

Not only is it a great jacket to have in your pack, but it also is great on a night on the town. This jacket not only keeps you warm but also doesn't feel bulky like every oth…

I've had the strato for a little while and it seems to be larger around the mid section than other arcteryx clothing. I'm 6'2 and 170lbs and I have a few arcteryx items that…

A very nice addition to my closetful of Arcteryx gear. Worn it a couple of times already in central New York beginnings of winter. Almost too warm for the 30s with just a ss T…

This is my new go to jacket. It is hard to believe how warm this jacket is considering how little it weighs. I am 5'9" and 155 lbs and a medium fits just right. I live in…

The construction is well-considered and there are some nice features that I have grown to expect from Arcteryx products.
The fit is amazing, it's lightweight and extremely p…

I bought myself this so I wouldn't die while waiting for the bus on cold Brooklyn days. So far, I am alive and well. People often tell me that my jacket is too light, and th…

I bought this jacket in hope that it would work as a winter jacket combined with a thick sweater beneath and possibly a windproof layer for windy days.
I went biking to wor…

This Jacket is great! I'm 5'10" 185 lbs with broad shoulders and the Large fits so well... just fine with only base layers, but plenty of room for a puffy underneath. I wore i…

Like any gear that blurs boundaries, it does most of what you want, just not as well as the ideal layer. So it breathes and wicks, but not aw well as a Paty R1 Hoody. It pro…

I had the chance to try this jacket on recently and I found it to be an amazing piece of equipment that I can't live without. You can rock it on it's own or use it for layerin…

This jacket rocks! I sweat when I ski and don't like bulky jackets. I ordered the L and it was a little snug in the chest and back. Going to reorder XL which I tried on. F…

This soft shell is light as the day is long! It is also very stretchy. This will be a great mid layer for an Alpine climb or a light shell in the summer. Great Choice!…
