“Simple, light, athletic cut, warm jacket”

“This is a typical Arc'teryx piece: athletic cut with nicely tailored fit. No frills, no extras. Just a warm, close-fitting, technical layering piece. I am a "typical" size large guy (5' 11", 190#, long arms, wide shoulders) and find the size large to be about perfect. I do not find the sleeves to be overly long. They extend to about the meaty part of my thumb/palm, and this is a nice length when you raise your arms up. I wore this jacket under a hardshell quite a bit while snowboarding recently. Temps were in the mid teens to mid twenties and life was grand. The handwarmer pockets are easy to open and close. The collar stands up nicely and the whole jacket has a relatively low loft, dense insulation layer. The shell is a sort of 80's polyester weave that seems to pick up stains pretty easily. I have not tried to wash it yet. The only minor gripe is that you need to wear a relatively low bulk top under it since the jacket's sleeves are not that wide.”
