Excelent piece of outerwear!!!! By 4,000 Bagger from Keene NH on 11/13/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable, Good Cut, Warm Best Uses: Daily Use, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Wore this hiking one of NH 4,000 footers on 11/11/09 temps in the 30's to 40's and it breathes extremly well, I was very impressed by they way it regulated my body temp to a comfortable degree.

By Jon from Park City, UT on 11/13/2009 Best Uses: Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The fit and finish on this jacket are excellent from what I can see. The cut allows for a good range of motion without being excessively baggy, and it could be worn it with a midlayer if needed. I'm 6'2", 215 lbs, and wear a size 42L sports coat. I ordered a large, which fits perfectly.
The insulation in this jacket is not as thick as the down in my Cloudveil Down Patrol jacket, which is approximately the same weight (36oz- 37oz). The Arc'Teryx is definitely more sleek than a puffy and weighs a bit less than I thought it would for a jacket with a goretex pro shell. I haven't worn the Arc'Teryx in very cold conditions, yet, so I don't know how the insulation performs compared to a puffy. Other reviewers (some not on this website) have said that it's a very warm jacket and probably too warm for conditions much above freezing if you're skiing/boarding. I think that's probably right.
As with a lot of Arc'Teryx jackets, this one has a limited number of pockets - two on the side for your hands (these pockets are fairly spacious), one on the chest, and one fairly large, zippered pocket on the inside. I think Arc'Teryx limits the number of pockets to cut down on weight and bulk - I happen to like their relatively sleek designs, but some prefer having a lot of options for gear when it comes to pockets.
Overall, I think this is a great jacket.
By Ezzie from LA,NM on 11/13/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Stylish Best Uses: Casual Wear, Extreme Conditions, Sports, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Occasional Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't so snug around the hips.....but in the end, I sent it back. I LOVE the color (subdued greens), the flattering design and all the great features. I couldn't seem to stow the hood in the collar without it buldging...minor issue.

By Acrosscountry from WA on 11/12/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Layering, Lightweight, Water Resistant Cons: Inadequate Protection, Wind gets through Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It is a bit short in the body and so lets some wind up the back. It's great for rain though, has a great hood and keeps nice and warm (when it's not too windy).
Unlike some others, I found it to be a bit tight in the chest. I'm not exactly flat chested, so this may not be a problem for everyone. The cut is super cute and the colors are beautiful.
Soft and comfortable, I can layer the small over and under and use out and just around town.
I'm happy with it.
