Question 1

Fit is revised, does this mean the jacket is not fitted anymore, as it used to be? is the squamish similar to the gamma lt been made wide and short? can you please share the dimensions of L and M (width, length)?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Henk, thank you for your question. The Squamish Jacket uses our fitted fit, which is designed to stay close to the body through the chest and waist. In recent years, the men's fit has been updated with a revised fit. Medium sizes remain unchanged. Smaller sizes are now slightly tighter fitting, and larger sizes are now slightly looser. For your reference, here are the key measurements for sizes medium and large:

Size M
Chest Width: 113.5cm
Waist Width: 108.5cm
Center Back Length: 76cm

Size L
Chest Width: 121.1cm
Waist Width: 116.1cm
Center Back Length: 78.5cm

Please note that we offer free shipping and free returns within our authorized return window, so you’re welcome to order multiple sizes, try them on at home, and return any that don’t work—completely free of charge. We hope this helps!

Question 3

Should a brand new Squamish Jacket be washed first before use?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Bobby, thanks for reaching out. It is not necessary to wash a brand new Squamish Jacket before first use. The jacket is ready to wear out of the box and comes with an FC0 DWR finish that helps repel moisture. We recommend washing the jacket only as needed and following the care instructions provided on the garment to help maintain its performance over time. We hope this helps!

Question 4

Can you fit an Iphone 17 pro max in the chest pocket ? Thanks

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Steve, thanks for your question. An iPhone 17 Pro Max should fit inside the chest pocket on the Squamish Jacket. The pocket measures approximately 20 cm x 13 cm (height x width), and with the iPhone 17 Pro Max coming in at about 16.3 cm x 7.8 cm, it will fit comfortably with room to spare in both dimensions. We hope this helps!

Question 5

I actually already own the jacket, but I'm puzzled by something. Inside it has what looks like two large pockets, except they aren't because the bottoms are open.  What are they for?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for reaching out. What you are seeing inside the Squamish Jacket is the internal construction of the external zippered hand pockets. The fabric panel on each side is the inside pocket bag attached to the external zippered hand pockets. Since the pocket bag is only secured around its edges and pocket opening, it may seem like a separate piece of fabric when viewed from inside the jacket. We hope this helps clear things up!

Question 6

is the Tyono 30 fabric more durable than pertex quantum?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Roland, thanks for reaching out. Both are high-performance, lightweight nylon fabrics, but they excel in slightly different areas. Pertex® Quantum is renowned for being incredibly lightweight and breathable in down jackets and is inherently downproof. Tyono™ 30D is generally used for its enhanced durability and abrasion resistance in synthetic insulation pieces and windshells like the Squamish Jacket. Tyono™ 30D is generally more durable than Pertex Quantum as it is a higher denier fabric. We hope this helps!

Question 7

Does it have a head cover?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Felix, thanks for reaching out. The Squamish Jacket does not feature a hood. If you are looking for a version that does, we recommend checking out the Squamish Hoody instead. We hope this helps!

Question 8

Is it narrower in the mid section than previous (hoody) versions? I'm not happy with everything becoming "fitted!" I'm a very strong and fit hiker and I don't have a runners body! The old version of the hoody, which I have several, was perfect!

River · Accepted Answer

Hello Richard, the Squamish Jacket has identical measurements to previous versions of the Squamish Hoody. You can order the same size for the Squamish Jacket as you did for your older Squamish Hoody to get the same fit.

Question 9

how breathable is it please, I run in the rain in warm weather?; it does not need to be fully  waterproof if it is quick drying.

Dave · Accepted Answer

Hi Richy. The Squamish Jacket features a Tyono™ 30 denier shell that provides weather protection and breathability. That said, for added breathability and running-specific features, we recommend the Norvan Windshell Jacket.

Question 10

What is the SPF of the Squamish jacket fabric (Tyono™ 30 denier shell)?

Austin · Accepted Answer

Hi Brad, thanks for reaching out. The Squamish Jacket is not SPF rated.
