I really appreciate which details were paid attention to in this jacket. The cut and fit is exceptional. This jacket moves with you well as in it doesn't ride up when you raise your arms out and gives you good freedom of movement. It's warm, probably somewhere inbetween 200 and 300 wieght fleece, but is exactly the opposite of bulky. This jacket looks sharp on it's own, but also is the perfect layer under a shell because there isn't a bunch of extra fabric around your arms, your gut, your armpits, etc to content with the shell. The sleeve pocket holds a phone or mp3 player well, and the hand pockets are actually enormous - they cleverly run from the waistband up to the seam at your collar bone, and are large enough for a 1 liter water bottle with room to spare. And the pulls for the drawsting waist are found inside. The zippered hand pockets are at a great spot, too, high enough for a harness or pack, yet still at a comfortable and natural level for handwarming. Arc'teryx kept thier name and logo subtle yet visible so you don't feel like you're a walking advertisement, but if people want to know who made such a great jacket it's there. A lifetime warranty makes it a complete package. well done.

I like to use my fleece jackets as a stand-alone layer on days without precip and as a form of insulation under a shell. The Maverick AR is fantastic for both; constructed well and versatile. If I'd change anything, I would add a chest zip pocket...I've had one on every fleece jacket and have been used to the convenience. Still, a great jacket!

I bought this on SC last year when it was on sale at 50% off. I wouldn't buy unless it was on sale. It's just a fleece, no superior fabric or anything. It's got Arcteryx brand and has a nice cut but honestly it's a fleece jacket, nothing more nothing less.

In all honesty, this is a hugely overpriced fleece with the name Arc'teryx slapped on it.

I have a Columbia and North Face fleece that are 65 dollars and 75 dollars respectively and feel warmer in those.

This fleece only has 3 pockets, two on the side, and one on the arm (which I will never use...). No internal pockets.

Not very impressed...

Very nice jacket. I bought this to go under my Arcteryx Theta AR which is a size M. I normally wear a large, but in the Theta Ar I needed a medium. I first bought the Maverick AR in a medium thinking it would be sized like the Theta Ar, but I had to return the Maverick AR for a large. Nice jacket, I like the nailhead finish and the long arm length. It does seem a little pricey for a fleece jacket, but I'm hoping that the nailhead fleece will last longer and not show as much wear as my old north face fleece jackets did.

Got this just in time for a fall whitewater trip. When we got back to camp I was near freezing and this thing warmed me right up in minutes and kept me warm into the late night. It has laminated pockets and waterproof zippers. Can't say enough about how much I like this jacket. Time will tell about the durability but so far so good...
