Was excited but a little disappointed. It is a great jacket. Technically, very light, super warm. Why I didn’t like: 1. 5'11, 181 pounds. 41 to 42 inch chest and 31.5 waist…

This is a great lightweight outer layer jacket that could also double as a lightweight mid-layer. It offers some warmth, but on cold days wearing some merino wool underneath…

At temps in the mid-50s and below this jacket is comfy, but it is too much for warmer days. I have worn it in the rain, and I found it too be too hot for my liking. It did…

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…

Picked up my first Arc'teryx soft shell about 10 years ago and finally decided to get a second one. I wear these a daily basis in the fall, winter, and spring. By far my fav…

I am a huge fan of this jacket. It is cut like it was tailor-made for my body. I am about 6’2” with a wing span closer to 6’6” (Jay Bilas called me “long”). A medi…

Polartec Power Shield Pro is some amazing stuff. I rock and ice climb in this jacket and have yet to permanently scuff it. Line the Polartec with fur and you have a really gre…

I've used this jacket for casual wear around town in a light rain and was more than satisfied. But, I've also used it in a layering system to spend 4 hours in a 20 degree phot…

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…

I can sum up this hoody in one word; Perfect. I like that it is just a durable stretchy shell hoody and is knitted in the athletic fit just like my Beta SL. I love my Epsilon…

The Zion is an incredible jacket. It breathes better than any shell I've ever owned and has proven itself completely waterproof in the 2 months I've owned it. I have used this…

Jacket has an athletic/slim fit. Might be too tight in the chest for some. It is very breathable, but don't think this jacket is wind proof because it is a softshell. You w…
