Great product
a year ago
Nice and light for hot rainy days in the keys. It has a great range of motion and breathability for fishing, and you don’t end up more wet from sweat than from rain if going without. Lots of your products seem to be cut for petite euro men, but this gives enough room to wear over bibs without being baggy at all.
Q: Pros:
A: Breaths well
Q: Cons:
A: None so far
Q: Activity
A: Offshore fishing
Q: Your Height:
A: 6,1
Yes, I recommend this product.

Gamma series

Love the Gamma MX, the previously LT and now the lightweight. The lightweight will be used for hiking during summer in the mountains, but wear it already. There will be changing conditions: sun, wind rain, snow. The Arcteryx Alpine Academy in Chamonix begin July will be a good test 😀🗻🚶🥾, I am confident.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight and still protective
Q: Cons:
A: Logo on the cap
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, climbing
Q: Your Height:
A: 174
Yes, I recommend this product.

A: Everything about the jacket/hoodie
Q: Cons:
A: Fits snug but I like it!
Q: Activity
A: Running, everyday use, airplane travel, activity dates ;-)

By far the best jacket I've ever owned!
2 years ago
This jacket is absolutely perfect for backpacking, touring the city or even for the harsh weather. Of course this jacket does not handle rain that well, but it's not supposed to either. This jacket is a really lightweight and small to pack, but performs extremely well.
I've always used a Gore-Tex jacket, but the problem for me has always been the fact, that Gore-Tex just does not breathe that well. I've found myself on a mountain at 5 degrees Fahrenheit with a completely frozen Gore-Tex jacket after a harsh and sweaty climb up. This jacket will never do that.
If you have something for the rain, this jacket will handle everything else. For me this jacket is perfect!
Q: Pros:
A: Breathability, weight, overall feel
Q: Cons:
A: Absolutely nothing
Q: Activity
A: Backpacking, skydiving, hiking
Q: Your Height:
A: 174
Yes, I recommend this product.

Light weight but tough
2 years ago
I bought this as my signature jacket when I am guiding clients as an International Mountain Leader. It is super light weight but performs like a much heavier jacket. I love wearing it as my first layer over my base layer, just to keep the chill off, a gilet on top makes a great combination.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight, tough
Q: Cons:
A: Slightly bigger fit
Q: Activity
A: Mountaineering, climbing, hiking, ski touring
Q: Your Height:
A: 1.78m
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Hoody
2 years ago
I'm very happy that I got this hoody. It is lightweight without feeling flimsy. It has a little bit of stretch but not too much. It has a nice silhouette, slim but not too skinny. The hood is just right. It doesn't stick out or flop around too much. It's great for chilly days with a light mist. I definitely recommend this hoody.

A: Lightweight

A: None

Ignore that negative review, I don’t understand why someone would complain about logo placement, when the jacket looks sleek and appealing to the eyes! The fabric used is high quality and the stitching is top notch. I would definitely recommend using their sizing chart as fitment is true to size
Q: Pros:
A: Perfect for a hike
Q: Cons:
A: None whatsoever
Q: Activity
A: Perfect for the range
Yes, I recommend this product.

STOP THE SILLY HOOD STITCHED BRANDING!
2 years ago
I know the brand is growing and trying to reach more people, but have some dignity and stop plastering the logo in 2 places. this beautiful product just used to have the chest badge and name in 1 location. why split it in 2 places? so people both walking behind and in front of you can see the obnoxious placement? I know this made sense for high value ski products because touting it around on the slopes was a statement and the more high-value customers that saw it in that type of environment would convert into higher sales but for modest articles of clothing like this it really does ruin the discreet, respectable and "humbleness" of the product. Please. Less branding. Please.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I think the hood logo looks good and why not promote a great brand. If it is a problem go buy another make.

Very comfortable
2 years ago
I bought this as a softshell for my Atom LT hoody. Love this thing. Very lightweight and comfortable. A large will fit very nicely over several layers. I usually wear a fleece (size large), and Atom LT (L) underneath this when its cold and a bit windy or drizzly outside and have no problem with the fit. This jacket is definitely not waterproof, but very water resistant. It beads water off like a charm. Is also does a nice job of keeping the cold wind out. My only minor complaint is that the inside of the jacket doesn't have real stuff pockets, but that doesn't really bother me. The hood is nice and spacious and can fit a over a climbing helmet and can be cinched down nice and tight. Overall I think this is a great addition to my Arc'Teryx gear.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight, comfortable

Q: Activity
