Arc'teryx Trident Jacket - Soft Shell (For Women)

The style is attractive, something akin to a boomer jacket, but I found the fit to be small. The xsmall hit at the top of my hips (I'm 5"1'), so didn't provide the protection I was looking for. Also, the fleece lining is very thin, so wouldn't likely do well in colder weather.

LOVE, love , love this jacket! Very cute AND very functional - top quality product even in wind and light rain. However, it is a soft shell, which means it's not intended to keep you warm in really cold, wet or windy weather. Perfect for days in the mid 30s and above with a sweater underneath if you plan to walk about, not stand around idly. Used an old boyfriend's Arcteryx soft shell last year, which has a boxier fit than this very tapered and fitted women's piece, and finally sprung for my own after the break-up. I'm fairly fit and athletic, which means not much bust or it may be a bit tight. Arcteryx makes great, useful, cute gear that's really pricey, but you can feel good about buying it at STP with their great prices [...]

returned item. picture didn't suggest that it was cropped, but it is very short in length. hits at hip but i like jackets longer--at least mid-butt to avoid cold air from sneaking up back of jacket. good looking though, stylish and wonderful color.

Top quality jacket.

I wear this to walk our dogs three miles a day. It gives just the right warmth on 20 to 30 degree days. I have not had a chance to try it in colder weather yet. The sleeve length is perfect, which is unusual, seeing that I am six feet tall and women's jacket sleeves are usually to short.
