Merino is the best fabic...great product By Aub the biker from Charlotte, NC on 11/05/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, High Quality, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Everyday, Travel Describe Yourself: High-end shopper Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great product from Arcteryx. I love the brand and like that they have branched into Merino wool. Smartwool Socks, Icebreaker Tops and now Arcteryx are all great quality brands. Got to love it. It is nice having a wool hoodie this fall/winter.

By Judy the dog walker from Athens, GA on 11/04/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Stylish Cons: Sleeves too narrow, Too narrow for large bust Best Uses: Casual Wear, Sports Describe Yourself: Occasional Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I wanted to replace a fleece that I have had for several years. This one ran narrow in the bust and sleeve width. I tried a large, maybe an XL would have fit better, but none was offered.
By TheWriter from Chattanooga, TN on 11/04/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Everyone else said this jacket was too short, but I didn't listen. Perhaps I should have. I love the color and the weight, but it really was too short in the torso. Plus, the chest felt too big, so I felt like overall it just looked kind of boxy.
Nice hoodie, made for tall and skinny. By Gearjunkie from East coast outdoorsman on 11/04/2009 Pros: Breathable, High Quality, Stylish, Warm Cons: Itchy Material, Oddly shaped hood Best Uses: Casual Wear, Everyday, Travel Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a pretty nice hoodie, particularly for the price. Not sure I would have bought it at full retail, but at [$] it's a steal.It's certainly made for tall skinny dudes, which isn't surprising for Arc'Teryx clothing. I'm 5'8" and a little more stout, so I find the arms a little long, as well as the torso. But the torso length actually works, it doesn't look as long as it feels. It's almost slimming...The hood is a strange shape, it's almost a balaclava shape. I imagine as technical wear, the hood will be warmer with less wind getting in because it's got good head coverage, but if you're expecting your 1970's cotton pullstring hood (the "Kenny" fit:-) ), it doesn't have that. In fact, there is no drawstring. All in all, it works. Fits nice, stylish. Itchier than an Icebreakers shirt so wouldn't wear it without at least a t-shirt baselayer, but not a particularly itchy wool... Breathable, will probably be excellent for skiing under a softshell or for fall biking around town.
By FunctionOverForm from Washington, DC on 11/01/2009 Best Uses: Daily Use, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Love the jacket but will have to return it due to the giant neck. At 5'10" with a 15 1/2 in neck I find this neck huge. I wish I could keep it.
By Chris from Boulder, Co on 10/31/2009 Best Uses: Extreme Conditions Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Great to wear to stay warm if you don't mind looking like the Pillsbury dough boy.
By William from Nashville, TN on 10/31/2009 Pros: Breathable, Warm, Windproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: STP...bar none, is THE way to go when buying high end gear. This is last year's model Arcteryx Atlas SV (w/ all the features of the latest model)-for a steal!
This is the warmest (and driest) jacket I've ever owned! Yes...Gore-Tex is king for staying dry, but I have to say - not a leak in this unit (in a pretty heavy downpour.) Also, not a need for that bulky midlayer. Nice.

By hawaii online gear shopper from Honolulu, HI on 10/27/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Extreme Conditions Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I would love to keep it - great fit, color, comfort, but living in the tropics, I was able to find a less expensive insulating layer to wear just a few times per year.
