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…

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 jacket is great fit/materials wise but the features are not as well thought out as other new snowsport jackets (crossbow, sabre sv, vertical sv). The problem I have is th…

Unlike other Arcteryx, this is the relaxed fit one. I always wear their usual large; but Micon Large is equal to usual XL for "roomier fit" and for better movement as they cla…

Arcteryx always makes high quality gear and this jacket is no exception. I previously had the stingray, and this jacket is better than that. It is thigh length so that means…
