Arc'teryx Easyrider Jacket - Polartec® Power Shield® (For Men)

cut for a larger person than I am (5'9" 180) so I returned it. Looks to be a quality product though.

Great for skiing warm and comfortable. I wear this under my Theta AR jacket on cold days and I'm high dry and warm as can be. This is my second purchase of this product and the only negative thing I can say is the neck of this one is oversized; the one I bought a few years back has a smaller neck which makes for a better fit. Overall great jacket and price.

Great Jacked, on cold days I wear this under my Alpha AR jacket and I'm warm as can be. Sunny days the Easy Rider is all you need. Great product at a great price. Buy a few!!

First softshell I've ever purchased as well as first Arc'Teryx product. Had it a week and seems pretty solid. The insulation didn't disappoint; the warmth to weight is excellent. It cuts wind effectively and shed decent snowfall no problem. Was warm with a mid weight base layer down to 15F. The cuffs are perfect @ the wrist but way too tight when pushed up to the forearm. I have a large neck and even for me, it is cut too big when zipped up. The chest and inside pockets are on the small side. Most disappointing though was the stitching. I thought for a $300(retail) fleece jacket the finishing would be top quality, but was instead standard Chinese import. Mediocre quality control on the stitching and threading finishing details. Overall seems pretty nice softshell.

This is a great jacket. The outer afbric is quite durable and the inner fllece is very warm. Every part of this jacket is performance fir and fits snug. I am 5'10", 170 lbs and a medium was the perfect fit. The one drawback for fit is the neck. It is cut to expand from the base of the neck. The only use I can think of is so you can tuck your chin into the neck to stay a bit warmer. While this is handy when standing around, I am not sure it is really all that good an idea since this jacket is mainly going to be worn by active people. A very similar jacket is the Arc'Teryx Hercules, it is slightly less bulky, but also blocks a little less wind. In static cold or under a hard shell, both are outstanding.
