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…

Very very dissapointed with the quality on outside of this fleece. The material pilled after the 1st wash. Besideds that that fleece is cosy and warm and fits well, but cant…

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…

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…

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…
