Arc'teryx Diplomat ST Jacket - Unisex - 2006 BCS

Oh so warm! One of the coolest jackets I have. Don’t machine wash it, unless you have like a wool machine wash option on your washing machine, then I hear they turn out fine, otherwise you're supposed to dry clean it. It's not water resistant, so you have to bust out your rain shell if it starts pouring. It’s quite stylish.

I bought this to replace a very similar, though now obsolete North Face coat that was showing worse for wear. As soon as my wife, who is a fashion horse, saw it, she immediately wanted one for her own. So this coat is indeed unisex. The materials, construction, fit, feel and look are all superb.

The sharp metal zipper was a step below Arc'teryx's usual quality; the zipper soon snagged at the base. The collar was bulging on one side and didn't sit right.
Cannot recommend this product--though generally I love Arc'teryx gear.

I was not expecting the world's most rugged jacket when I placed my order. But was extremely surprised at just how well this jacket performed. Although it’s extremely lightweight, it stops every harsh blow of wind, and does a surprising job blocking rain. This is surprising considering its wool-ish exterior, not to mention this jacket is so stylish that I've been complemented each time I wear it.

My husband bought a Diplomat ST Jacket several years ago, and I liked it so much on him that I wanted one for myself. It is fabulous: warm, comfortable, handsome. Thank you.
