Arc'teryx Griffon Jacket - Men's

The Arc'teryx Men's Griffon Jacket combines a soft mid-loft interior with a smooth softshell exterior to provide an excellent combination of warmth, breathability, and weather resistance. The Griffon Jacket works great as an outer layer or even a mid-layer in really cold conditions. Thanks to the smooth face fabric, this Arc'teryx jacket allows friction-free layering. When you want to move fast on the trail or have to break your own through deep snow, this jacket's top-notch breathability helps keep you from overheating.

Bottom Line: For active use in cold weather.

The Arc'teryx Griffon is more of a slim fit, as it's designed to be layered, but also works great as an outer layer in mild weather. Blocks about 50% of wind, sheds light moisture, and breathes really well. Also, the face fabric is smooth, so it doesn't bind under shell jackets. Versatile, tough, and comfortable.

Great Jacket

By:
July 18, 2009

This is a very breatable jacket. The outer shell is nothing like the MH Alcamy or TNF Apex. This jacket is great for cooler nights and spring/fall. The mid-loft interior is very comfortable and not to shaggy. I love this jacket and would recomend to anyone. I am 5'9'' 160 and the medium fits great.

Good Stuff

By:
February 23, 2009

Got the Griffon as a mid layer for skiing. It worked great on the slopes between some merino wool and a Theta AR. It also makes a great athletic cardigan. I can go all day wearing it without overheating. Right from the icy morning commute through work in an office building, then back home. It's pretty cool that way, mixing warmth and breathability. It's just uncanny how it keeps me warm without overdoing it.
The fit is pretty athletic. The sleeves have an elastic panel that hugs your wrist and makes a good seal. But, this arrangement means it can be a pain to look at your watch.
I haven't worn it in the rain, yet. But it sheds snow well enough.

Breathability ratings for various fabrics

By:
April 6, 2009

I jacked this from some forum where a bunch of outdoorsy engineer types were discussing breathability. According to wikipedia, CFM means Cubic feet per minute and is a unit of measurement of the flow of a gas or liquid that indicates how much volume in cubic feet pass by a stationary point in one minute.

Among other things, O2 is more malleable (less rigid) than regular Powershield. It is also less windproof but more breathable for better use as a midlayer.

Both are pretty much the same material, Polartec Powershield except the Griffon has Polertec Powershield 02. The main difference there is a resistance to pilling and the outside is very smooth with the 02 variation. Fit is very similar between the two and both are about waist length. Gamma AR features : Highly breathable warmth• Wind and moisture resistant• Waist length with drop back hem• No-lift gusseted underarms• Full front zip with interior wind flap• Laminated hem drawcord• Two hand pockets• One internal chest pocket• Moulded Zipper Garages• Soft brushed lined collar• DWR finish Griffon features: • Double layer of fleece on collar• Two hand pockets with laminated zippers• One sleeve pocket with laminated zippers• Articulated elbows• No-lift gusseted underarms• Stretch knit gusseted cuffs• Laminated hem drawcord

It will keep a very light breeze at bay, but it's made to breath. So, no, it's not windproof.
