Question 2

What is the denier/ripstop rating on the face fabric for this jacket? How durable is it designed to be?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Omineca Short Jacket is designed as an ultralightweight down jacket for multi day hikes. It features a recycled stretch nylon fabric with an abrasion-resistant ripstop construction. The face fabric is a 47 gsm recycled nylon mini ripstop. We hope this helps!

Question 3

Is it waterproof or resistant?

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Ayse, thank you for reaching out. The Omineca Short Jacket is water‑resistant, not fully waterproof. It’s treated with an FC0‑DWR (PFC‑free Durable Water Repellent) to help shed light precipitation, but it does not have a GORE‑TEX membrane. This means it performs well in drizzle or brief exposure to moisture, but it isn’t designed for sustained or heavy rain.

Question 4

Chaud jusqu’à - quel température?

Amelie, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Bonjour Gina, merci pour votre question. Nous n’attribuons pas de cote de température à nos vêtements, car le niveau de chaleur ressenti varie considérablement d’une personne à l’autre selon plusieurs facteurs, comme le niveau d’activité, les conditions météorologiques, les couches portées et la tolérance individuelle au froid. La veste Omineca est conçue pour offrir une chaleur ciblée grâce à une construction thermomappée qui aide à optimiser la régulation thermique selon les différentes zones du corps. Elle est également légère, compressible et facile à transporter, ce qui en fait une excellente option pour les activités à faible intensité, les randonnées de plusieurs jours ou comme couche isolante de secours. Le duvet, quant à lui, offre généralement un excellent rapport chaleur/poids ainsi qu’une grande compressibilité, ce qui en fait un choix privilégié pour les conditions froides et sèches ou les activités à faible intensité. Pour obtenir des conseils sur la façon d’optimiser votre système de superposition selon différentes conditions, nous vous invitons à consulter notre guide des couches : https://arcteryx.com/ca/fr/shop/layering-guide/. Nous espérons que ces informations vous seront utiles dans votre choix.

Question 5

Is this jacket packable?

Joseph, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, thank you for your question about the Omineca Short Jacket. While it does not come with a dedicated stuff sack, it was designed to be highly packable. The jacket utilizes lightweight down insulation and compresses well for storage in a pack when not needed, making it well suited for backcountry use, hut trips, and multi-day adventures. We hope this helps!

Question 6

What is the down fill weight for a size L and XL please?

Joseph, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, thank you for your question about the Omineca Short Jacket. The down fill weight is 72.91 g for a size L and 78.19 g for a size XL. We hope this helps!

Question 7

can you please provide the measurement from armpit to armpit as well as across the hem for sizes small and medium?

Amelie, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Sarah, thank you for your interest in the Omineca Short Jacket. We'd be happy to provide the measurements you're looking for:
Size S: Chest width: 111 cm (pit to pit would be 55.5 cm), Across the hem (relaxed): 110 cm.
Size M: Chest width: 116 cm (pit to pit would be 58 cm), Across the hem (relaxed): 115 cm
If you're deciding between sizes, please note that items purchased through Arc'teryx can be exchanged or returned within 30 days of purchase, provided they are in like-new condition with the tags still attached. We hope this helps!

Question 8

Can you make a jacket with just synthetic materials instead of down ? I really love the new short down jacket but won’t wear it with a goose’s feathers.

Beth, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Carly Rae, thanks for your question. We understand that down isn't the right choice for everyone. While the Omineca Short Jacket uses responsibly sourced down insulation, we also offer a number of synthetic insulated options. If you're looking for a similar cropped silhouette, we'd recommend taking a look at the Elec Insulated Jacket Women's. It features Coreloft™ synthetic insulation, which delivers warmth without using down, and has a comparable modern, cropped fit. We also have a broader selection of synthetic insulated jackets that may be a great match depending on your intended use and warmth needs. If you'd like help finding the best option for your adventures, our Guest Services team would be happy to help. You can reach us through the Contact Us page on our website, where our team can provide personalized product recommendations based on how and where you plan to use your jacket.

Question 9

What temperature range is this jacket good for?

Blake · Accepted Answer

Hello, and thank you for your question. The Omineca Short Jacket is designed as a lightweight, packable insulated layer for a range of outdoor activities, including multi-day hikes and hut trips where you may want reliable warmth available without taking up much space in your pack. Arc'teryx does not assign specific temperature ratings to its products, as comfort depends on factors such as activity level, layering, weather conditions, and personal preference. In general, the Omineca is intended to provide lightweight warmth in cool conditions and works well as an insulation layer that can be added when temperatures drop or during rest periods. For colder conditions, it can also be layered with additional pieces to increase warmth and weather protection.

Question 10

What is the back measurement on a size large and how do you measure back length?

Blake · Accepted Answer

Hello Eliz, and thank you for your question. The Omineca Short Jacket has a center back length of 56.7 cm. We measure back length from the center back neckline straight down to the bottom hem of the jacket.
