Arc'teryx Maverick AR Jacket - Women's - 2007 BCS

I agree with the other reviewer who said the fabric is pilling. It also "attracts everything except men and money" when it comes to lint/pet hair/etc. The lint doesn't remove easily because of the nubby texture of the fabric since it almost seems to grip onto the lint more than other fleece textures. It is very warm, well cut, but definitely not wind resistant in any way. Defifinitely more of a layering piece.

only complaint is that it pills on collar & cuff after repeated washes. And yes, no fabric softener, gentle cycle, powdered soap, air dry.

This jacket has exceeded all expectations. It does a marvelous job of blocking the wind and wicking moisture away from my body. I expected to use it primarily as a layer under a shell but I have been pleasantly surprised to find that it works well on it's own even in very cold winter conditions. Even when wet, the inside felt dry. Felt a little small at first but it loosened up after the first wash. Very comfortable, practical, technical jacket. Nice cut too.

I really like this jacket. After trying on many other jackets, I decided to get the Maverick. Not only is it warm, but it is the only jacket that actually fit me (I'm petite). This jacket is more form-fitting than other fleeces. So if you want a jacket that is warm, stylish and actually fits, the Maverick AR is a great choice.

Thank you for such good service and prompt reply to my questions prior to purchasing my jacket.

I love it! It's lightweight, warm and perfect fitting. Good stuff.
