Rush Jacket Men's

This jacket is outstanding and versatile, making it ideal for resort skiing, freeriding, and especially touring. It serves as the perfect shell for nearly every snowsport discipline. Made with 80D Gore-Tex Pro, it feels incredibly durable and capable of withstanding almost any weather condition. Despite its robust construction, the jacket remains light, breathable, and tough. Even with the characteristic stiffness of Gore-Tex, it offers excellent ease of movement, providing a full range of motion for your back and arms. I highly recommend this jacket to anyone seeking a do-it-all ski shell. It’s simple yet delivers exceptional performance in every aspect. Its fit stays relatively true to size, I would even go as far as recommending this jacket over the Sabre, as its simplicity and fit are just unmatched. (This jacket has no fleece lining or snow skirt, which, in my opinion, makes it more versatile as those two features can be replaced with good layering and a snow bib.

I use my Rush for a resort skiing shell and have been loving it. It’s incredibly light, easy to layer under and has amazing wind/waterproofing - especially with the storm hood up it really is a fortress. Sleeve pocket is great for an RFID pass and the jacket has a great amount of pockets in total. Fit is quite true to size in my opinion.

Perfect fit and style for backcountry skiing in all weather conditions

I’ve always been kind of between sizes for ARC’TERYX jackets(6’3”, 205). Having said that, the XL has always been a pretty solid fit and allows for some layering. In a large the sleeves and torso have always been just a little too short especially if layering. So naturally I ordered an XL. I really wanted to like this jacket but when it arrived I realized to my dismay that ARC’TERYX had oddly changed their sizing, and not in any way that makes any sense at all. They went ahead and made large which was already a little too small, ever since slightly smaller through the chest, and shockingly made the XL significantly larger. Make no mistake, we’re talking a significant upsize. Why they made the already fitted large smaller and then the XL larger still had me scratching my head. Maybe they have a sense of humor, if so I really do appreciate the effort. Seemed like a great Jacket, but until ARC'TERYX re-adjusts their sizing to something more sensible look like I’ll be getting my ski jackets elsewhere.

Love the color and design, but the DWR is worthless out of the box, water only beads up if it’s misting and wets out quickly

The Arc'teryx Rush Jacket in the "Black Magic" colorway is undeniably a sleek and visually striking piece of technical gear. Designed with Gore-Tex Pro fabric, it offers top-tier waterproof and breathable performance, making it suitable for harsh alpine conditions. However, my experience with the jacket has been a mix of admiration and concern. On the positive side, the jacket delivers on its promise of functionality. It's well-designed for skiing, snowboarding, or mountaineering, with thoughtful features like articulated patterning, a helmet-compatible hood, and solid wind resistance. The fit strikes a good balance between mobility and comfort, and the colorway is both elegant and versatile. That said, the durability of the material, particularly in the black colorway, leaves room for doubt. After just two days of wear, I noticed visible signs of abrasion, with the black fabric starting to show white scuff marks. This is surprising and somewhat disappointing for a premium jacket made with Gore-Tex Pro, which is marketed as a robust material for rugged use. Overall, while the Arc'teryx Rush Jacket is impressive in terms of performance and aesthetics, potential buyers should keep in mind that the "Black Magic" colorway may be more prone to visible wear. This could be a concern for those expecting long-term durability from such a high-end piece. If you're focused on performance, it's still an excellent choice, but for those prioritizing aesthetics or resistance to wear, you might want to consider a different color or alternative jackets. Pros: Premium waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex Pro fabric Functional design tailored for alpine sports Stylish and versatile "Black Magic" color Cons: Visible signs of wear and abrasion on the black fabric after minimal use High price point given the concerns about durability

At this price point you're getting a waterproof layer with No snow skirt, No snow cuffs, two way vents under the armpits which are actually not two way because both zips open on the same side and No radio/phone inside pocket (a thin mesh that can rip from the weight of the phone or corners of radio doesn't count). So I'm really baffled how you can call this a backcountry ski jacket that has no ski jacket features?

Love it! I bought the same jacket 18 years ago, got tons do great use out of it skiing, climbing, trekking in all weather. I’m already using my new jacket, it feels great and looking forward to another great 18 years wearing it!

Well-placed pockets, including a sleeve pocket for an RFID pass, and a helmet-compatible hood come in handy. Great Gore-Tex fabric, sealed zippers, and good ventilation. The dark magic colour is stylish. I know shell jackets are not designed to provide warmth, but in my opinion, this jacket is too thin/lightweight for a snowboard shell. The previous model was a hybrid of 80D and 100D, but this current version features only an 80D construction. Also, the lack of a powder skirt is a huge disappointment. I would definitely recommend The Arc'teryx Rush as a great all-around lightweight shell, but I wouldn't recommend it for snowboarding due to its light construction and lack of a powder skirt.

Awesome backcountry / touring ski jacket. Perfext for layering. My second Rush jacket but in my opinion, the last gen was better. They removed the powder skirt in the new version, what is the point, even just to remove a few gram!

Picked up the Rush jacket in black, size L and couldn't be happier. for reference, i am 5'11" and ~175 lbs and the jacket fits very well with layers (looks great too even without many layers). i prefer a slightly more relaxed style, however not too baggy. the jacket tickes all the boxes for me - can't wait to use it for everything.
