Protection for high-output activities

a year ago
I tend to run warm during high-output activities, and this packable layer has been a lifesaver in keeping the wind and elements at bay. I primarily use it for cycling and trail running. There have been instances where I encountered light rain or windy conditions, and this layer surprisingly kept me warm. It's light, highly packable, but don't underestimate its warmth!

Too thin and too expensive for its quality and look. Not worth it and not practical.

Bring this piece on every outdoor mission

a year ago
Love this piece so much. It's incredibly breathable, yet somehow manages to keep me protected from high winds when I am out trail running or even splitboarding. It packs down so well I don't even notice it in my vest. A must have piece for all outdoor sports year round!

Great light layer with a useable pocket!

a year ago
I bought this to replace an older well worn jacket of the same brand, model and size. Despite ordering the same size, I was surprised that it fits a bit more roomy than my old one. This is fine for me, but it makes me a bit nervous about sizing disparity year to year. I really like the pocket in the upper left chest as it is large enough for my plus size phone.

Great wind protection, very light, for running

a year ago
I just got this after loosing my Cita Hoody (older model, no longer sold). It is perfect, I love it. I use it for longer runs of up to 30 km in various temperatures, also around 0 degrees celcius with thin wool/technical shirt underneath. Love it. It is very light and protects well against wind. It even is slightly water repellent so OK in very light rain for a while. XS fits me perfectly - I am 165 cm.

Updated Squamish

a year ago
I own two Squamish jackets (2019 and 2020) and use those for running, hiking and biking. I disagree that the updated Squamish runs trimmer as mentioned in the description. Quite contrary, it runs more generous and, sadly, also longer in my opinion, and this was confirmed by comparing them side by side. So I returned the new one and ordered an older Sqamish in "like new" condition on the re-gear site.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This wind shell jacket is my must-pack item for all my trip, from hiking, mountain climbing, to just sight seeing in the city. It blocks the winds and sheds away the light rain as well.it is so light and packed so small but does the big thing. I bought two more as the gift for my friends. My favorite wind jacket ever!

Nice, but returned

a year ago
I really liked this, weight of fabric but I did return this. I didn’t realize it didn’t have side pockets or even a kangaroo pocket. It had a very small “breast” pocket that was positioned a little awkward. The color (blue) was also lighter than it looked online. Nice quality though.

Great for running

2 years ago
Very happy with it. Was comfortable running in the temperatures below 0C. Its lightweight, breathable and comfortable. Today I decided to be a little bit more adventurous and went for a fast paced hike in –26C (feels like –35C) in Edmonton. I was wearing a merino baselayer and a merino hoody underneath. I was sure I was going to regret it, but actually it felt quite warm and comfy. Of course you should not stop, otherwise you'll freeze :)

Great staple for running and cycling

2 years ago
Bought this for Running and Cycling, perfect for that. I am usually a size smal/medium, but sized up in this as Arcteryx products sometimes run kinda small in the shoulder area and the women's versions tend to run short. The color is more of a very icy/pastel glacier blue than white. Really love it though and perfect to layer over a delta fleece for running in the colder months. Keep that in mind when ordering.
