Rush Jacke Herren

Use it as my daily when not working patrol... super light weight and functional.

Dont Rush into buying “strongest gortex”. I purchased this jacket on Thursday December 22nd and went slack country skiing, Sunday December 18th. To my dismay, going a snails pace skiing across the mountain my jacket was caught by a branch and torn into. With a hole now 2 inches wide and down (think triangle), my jacket has been compromised for performing. After reaching out to Arc’Teryx the team was willing to offer my tape to fix this hole (a copied and pasted response albeit because they gave me the alternative for a big hole to call them). With a final resolution to put a Gortex patch over the issue, a band aid solution for a brand new 1000$ jacket. If you are considering spending your hard earned money on a performance jacket. Think twice as the birds top of the line jacket rips like butter, and they will only fix it with tape.

I bought this jacket a few weeks ago. I love the colour way is different then the mountaineer colours.

I was very excited to receive this top-line ski shell. The first day I got the package, I tested all the pull strings, and they were all fine except for the one on the hood. One side of the string broke off from the end piece that holds them together. I wasn't using extreme force or anything close to that. Very disappointed that I found quality issues before I even started skiing. I was debating between the Burton gore tex pro jacket and this one, I trusted Arcteryx quality but gotta say this is very disappointing. Would not recommend spending tons of money and risking the chance of going through something like this.

C’est mon deuxième manteau Rush et je suis bien satisfait. Bonne qualité du matériel et bon design. La grandeur recommandée est exacte et donne une bonne aisance tout en permettant d’ajouter une couche intermédiaire.

Wasn't easy to order, tried twice and second time was the charm. Worth the wait. Amazing snowboarding coat

Meet all the needs I wanted! Delivery is pretty fast!

So, I tried to give this feedback direct to Arcterix, but they fobbed me off and said leave a review on the website, so here it is. To set the scene, I've skied for over 30 years, at about 30 different ski fields in over a dozen different countries, and I average about 3 weeks a year (or so) so I have a bit of an idea of what I'm talking about when it comes to ski gear. Now, I like Arcterix - I like the fact they have a decent selection of shells (both jackets and pants); the quality is very good, the colours are great and I love that they use GoreTex (and GoreTex Pro) but their jackets (particularly) lack features. My first gripe is that the hood is not detachable. If you have a look at all the skiers, on any particular day, at any skifield in the World, nobody wears the hood - except if its snowing heavily, or raining. If it's raining, most people leave, and of those that keep skiing, most do wear the hood as it keeps rain from soaking through the vents in your helmet. But then, how often do you ski in the rain? If it's snowing heavily, my estimate is about 15% of people wear the hood - which means 85% (approx) don't wear it. And why would you? Snow doesn't soak through the vents in your helmet (like it does if it's raining). You don't get cold because you have a helmet on, and the hood restricts your peripheral vision. And when you turn you head left or right, the hood doesn't move with you so you can't see to your left (or right). And if you simply don't wear it (like 85% of skiers) it flaps around in the wind, and fills up with snow. For God's sake, make it detachable. I bought a new jacket this year, a Marmot jacket - with a detachable hood. It's brilliant. The hood re-attaches is about 30 seconds if you need it, and if you don't - no hood filling up with snow, or flapping around. Just fold it up and stick it in your side pocket in case you need it. Next, the pocket Arcterix puts on the upper arm, to store your pass. Really, on the upper arm?? I think every single manufacturer in the World puts it on your forearm (except Arcterix), so that to scan your pass on a higher or lower (than usual) pass scanner, you simply raise (or lower) your wrist. Very easy. However if your pass is in a pocket on your shoulder, because you own an Arcterix jacket, and the scanner is higher than your shoulder, you have to try to jump up and down (wearing your skis, or your board) to get high enough for the scanner to read your pass. Same problem is there's a lot of snow, so the scanner is lower than usual - ever tried bending down to get your shoulder low enough to scan your pass when you're wearing skis (or boards) and the scanner is at waist height? Not easy. Pleeeeeeaaase put the pass pocket on the forearm. It's just so much easier. On the subject of pockets, the inside chest pocket is not big enough to store most phones, especially if they have a case. Why do I want to take my phone out of its case everyday so it fits in my ski jacket, then put the case back on the phone when I take my jacket off? Wouldn't it be simpler to make the pocket just a little larger? And put a little insulation on the front side of the jacket, between the phone pocket and the shell, to make the phone battery last a little longer in the cold. And put two, inside chest pockets on your jackets - I need somewhere to put my wallet AS WELL as my phone. Oh, and I need two side pockets to put 'stuff' in, like a handkerchief (because my nose runs in the cold) and a chocolate bar to munch on when I'm hungry, and to put my car/accommodation keys in. It's all pretty simple stuff, if you think about it. My new Marmot jacket has all this stuff. And it's a shell - why can't you do this as well, Arcterix? I'd love one of your shells, and your pants, but until they're more 'user friendly' I'm going to keep wearing my new Marmot jacket. Yes, the colour is a bit boring, but the features are brilliant. And I don't have to jump up and down to scan my pass.

I just received my Rush jacket in med size. I am 5’9’’ 160 lbs ans sizing is good. It’s a long jacket which I think is perfect for skiing/snowboarding. I don’t think the fit is large, it’s just a little longer than a more versatile style like the Beta because of its intented use. It’s light and the gore tex material looks and feel great. A lot of adjustments for the hood are possible. I’m sure I will like it!

I have logged 100+ days in my Rush and it is bombproof. Powder days, rain, and sub-zero, all taken in stride. I wear a M in everything (5'8" 170 lbs), including this jacket. It is a roomier fit, but great for layering, even with a Thorium AR on the coldest of days. A removable powder skirt would be my only recommendation. Pockets are terrific.

Favourite jacket, mainly used for backcountry snowboarding, but also for commuting in the rain and hiking. The length is perfect for snowboarding being slightly longer. Inside stash pockets are good for storing skin's in if heading back up for another round.

The Rush shell has come through for me as the best all round ski shell I've found yet. With burly fabric, a fit that allows layering options and features that have a versatile use for resorts and backcountry. While the jacket excels in wet stormy conditions that we get often in the PNW with its robust fabric and 3 layer goretex. I've found it very useful as a backcountry shell for cold dry conditions as it allows me to layer up. The new version has two internal stuff pockets that can fit skins, gloves or a couple of sandwiches. Typically I'll wear the Rush in the resort over a wool baselayer and my Proton LT. A vest or fleece works well for colder conditions without feeling crammed into it. My one gripe is that the powder skirt is a bit tight and could be removable. We don't get super light snow out the PNW so I never use it snapped together but will clip it to my Sabre AR pants if I remember
