Question 1

I own the Monitor Coat in XL, but it feels roomier than expected. I’m 184 cm tall with a 120 cm chest, 52 cm shoulders, and 72 cm sleeves. For everyday wear with light layering, would you recommend M or L for a cleaner silhouette?

Luna · Accepted Answer

Hi Ivan, thank you for your question! The Monitor Coat is designed with a relaxed fit, so it can feel roomier than expected, especially if you’re used to a more tailored silhouette. For a cleaner profile while maintaining comfort, sizing down to a Large would work well. If you’re looking for a more fitted look, a Medium may be a better option. Since fit can come down to personal preference, you’re welcome to order both sizes and try them at home. We offer free returns within 30 days of purchase and delivery; full details are available here: https://arcteryx.com/us/en/help/returns. Hope this helps!

Question 2

I was told in store that there was a slight difference in the fit between the new model and the 2024 model. Is that correct?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your question. There is no difference in fit between the FW25 (model number: X000009523) and FW24 (model number: X000007774) Monitor Coat Men's. Both models feature our Relaxed fit and have the same measurements. For your reference, here are the key measurements for both models in size Medium (our base size):

Chest Width: 135.5cm
Waist Width: 136.5cm
Center Back Length: 84cm
Sleeve Length (from center back neck to shoulder point to bottom sleeve edge): 94cm

The only change between the two models is the fabric. The FW25 version uses a PFAS‑free GORE‑TEX ePE laminate with an FC0 DWR finish, replacing the previous GORE‑TEX ePTFE material that was used for the FW24 version. This update does not impact the fit. We hope this helps!

Question 3

What are the measurements for this revised version in sizes Medium and Large?

Dave · Accepted Answer

Hi Markus. We are happy to provide three key measurements for the Monitor Coat in sizes M and L:
Chest width: 135.5cm and 143.1cm
Waist width: 136.5cm and 144.1cm
Center back length: 84cm and 86.5cm

Question 4

is it made out of GORE-TEX 3 or 2 layer laminate?

Dave · Accepted Answer

Hi Luca, that is a great question! The Monitor Coat features a 3 Layer, 80 denier GORE-TEX ePE fabric.

Question 5

What is the fill on this coat? Or what cold conditions is this coat for?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Veve, thanks for reaching out. The Monitor Coat is a shell designed to keep you dry while navigating city storms, but it does not have any insulation. For added warmth, try pairing it with a base layer and an insulated mid-layer to create a versatile system that can adapt to a wide range of conditions. If you are looking for an all-in-one option with insulation, we recommend the Monitor Down Coat. It has a similar design but features 850 fill-power RDS goose down to keep you warm. We hope this helps!

Question 6

monitor for man its Goretex PRO or not ?

Sophie · Accepted Answer

Hi, thanks for your question! The Monitor Down Coat is not made of Gore-Tex Pro. Items made from Gore-Tex Pro will have this feature listed on their Product Description Page. We hope this helps.

Question 7

which mid-layer you'd recommend for European autumn, winter, colder spring days, preferably matching this coat esthetics. Is Cerium Hoody or  Euler Insulated Jacket Men's valiable options?

Austin · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Monitor Coat is a GORE-TEX coat designed to keep you dry for navigating urban environments. You can certainly layer a mid-layer underneath for warmth. We don’t necessarily have a mid-layer that we would specifically recommend to go under the Monitor Coat but we do have several options that you can look at. We have both synthetic materials and down mid-layers to choose from. We do have a complimentary return policy if you wish to look at the jackets in person and determine which one will best suit your needs. You can view all of our current options online. https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/c/mens/insulated-jackets

Question 9

Two questions:
1) How packable is the Veilance Monitor shell?
2) Should I size up if I'm wearing a suit under it? (typically a medium, 40" chest in a T-shirt)
My use case is as an emergency shell to pull out of my briefcase. I mostly wear suits at work.

Austin · Accepted Answer

Hi Hubo, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we do not have the dimensions for the Monitor Coat when packed. The jacket is designed to be small in size when packed and can be easily packed into the hood. It is tough to say if you need to size up without exact measurements. What we can do is provide the measurements of sizes M and L for you. We do have a complimentary return policy if you wish to look at the jackets in person and determine if it would work out for you. 

Size M 
Chest Width: 135.5 cm
Waist Width: 136.5 cm
Front Length: 79.5 cm
Back Length: 84.0 cm
Sleeve Length: 94.0 cm

Size L 
Chest Width: 143.1 cm
Waist Width: 144.1 cm
Front Length: 82.0 cm
Back Length: 86.5 cm
Sleeve Length: 96.5 cm
