Arc'teryx Trident Softshell Jacket - Men's - 2006 BCS

Just got mine in Pine; There's a white pin-stripe along the seam, up the arms to the back; it's on the back side so it's not seen in the picture (although one of the detail shots shows it.) The lining is a sort of short, felt-like material; same as my Sigma SV. It's warm, but makes it tough to slide on over some shirts. It has a drawcord at the waist. The arms seem a bit long, but I rather like that to keep covered when reaching. Myself, I didn't find it large around torso, but I'm getting a bit tubby in my old age (bought a large; I'm 6'0" 200lbs.) As with a lot of Arc'teryx stuff, I'm not sure it's worth paying full list price for, but at discount it's a good buy.

I'm a big fan of this softshell. Great spring/fall all around jacket. Great for moderately cold weather, definately need to pick up a more heavy duty shell with thicker lining for winters. I bought the pine and the pictures don't do it justice. It's darker than the pictures I saw of it, they must be of an earlier model. Better looking jacket than I initially thought it would be. I'm 6', 180lbs and bought the large. Fits great, I don't notice any bunching and it allows for full movement without any discomfort or anything being exposed. Excellent cut, looks great, I've recieved numerous compliments.

Pros:
Great water-resistence, totally stops the wind, great stretch ability, very stylish, good sleeve length for long-armed folk.

Cons:
A bit large around torso unless you're layering (which is good for cold weather) some bunching of material occurs under armpits, but maybe I'm just too skinny for the medium.

Overall:
Good for moderately cold weather, but in real cold stuff you'll want more insulation. A top notch soft shell!

While I didn't keep this item, I can see where others will find it entirely adequete. I'm 5'10" 190 lbs, not too big, not too small. perfect size for street hockey :)

This jacket had sleeves that were a bit long and a fit through the body that did quite work with my build. It seemed tighter in upper and looser in the lower . Warm enough for it's weight, though I didn't wear it out. The fit just didn't sit right on me. If you've any width to your shoulders, get something else.
