If you have the right body type, this is a great jacket. It is a very well made light weight full-zip fleece jacket. The pockets are functional and all the zippers work well. The fleece is very nice because the outer finish is a light corduroy that does not pill. This jacket and a light rain shell will take you through all but the worst weather conditions.What is unique about this jacket is the fit. If you tend to always fall between a medium and large, and are tired of mediums with the sleeves too short, or only comes down to your belly button, then this jacket could be for you. I'm 5'11" and the sleeves are perfect and over jacket length fall just below the waist.
While most people probably use lighter jackets like these for layering, I like to wear this piece on its own, in a casual setting. This cardigan is warm enough to keep you comfortable in a cool restuant on a spring night, while also contributing to your stylish adventurer look. Personally, I rock it with a polo, shorts, and some driving mocs. It fits pretty true to size, but I would definitely agree that it has more of a relaxed fit; the fit is a bit more loose than some of the other Arc'teryx products I own. I really like the two interior "drink pockets" as I call them too. Overall, great product.

There are a lot of men's sweaters out there, but Arcteryx stands out as providing not just a sweater, but a layering piece that you will want to take with you everywhere! This piece is very well-constructed with multiple panels (including a separate one in the underarm area) so that you can move freely without feeling at all constricted by the top. It fits closely, and it fits well! I also love how warm it is given that it is relatively thin and lightweight. Finally, the pockets are placed well, and the zippers work quickly and smoothly.
I bought size large. I am 6'2" and weigh 180 lbs. i am tall and lean built. i thought that size large would be a good fit looking at other reviewers but size medium would have been perfect. the sleeves are long and the shoulder length is little longer than my shoulders. It keeps me cozy and warm in mild weather but you can use this as an inner layer when it gets cold. i don't like fleece and soft shell and this is in between them.
Got this fleece a few months ago, and I am very satisfied with it. The slim fit is very nice! It layers underneath a shell perfectly for cold days; and works great over a t shirt or baselaeyr for temps in the 40s to 60s.

I got this as a replacement for a North Face fleece that I purchased four years ago. I liked the fact that the Arcteryx cardigan could be dressed up a bit. I wasn't looking for something hardcore to withstand the elements this go around. Bottom line is that this has exceeded my expectations. It's incredibly versatile so I end wearing it out at night after hockey, to the office, and out with the bride, as well. My body type is fuller through the chest and shoulders; kind of like a barrel. This fits great and fits my form well. Arcteryx products have never let me down and I expect that I'll be wearing this for years to come. Highly recommend it.
this is a great light weight fleece jacket/sweater. i use mine under my patagonia down sweater for an insulating layer. t-shirt, caliber fleece, and down sweater and im good almost all winter(almost). for fall and spring i wear it under a rain jacket. on warm days i wear it as a jacket alone. i own it in size small and medium. smalls chest is tight, mediums arms are long. the different sizes suit me for different situations. im 5'8" 150lbs. i wear the med. most.
