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.

This jacket is great. It's very warm (though not windproof), and comfortable. I love how light it is for the warmth it provides. Other fleeces I've had were always much bulkier. Arc'teryx stuff also fits the female body much better than any other brand I've purchased. If I layer underneath it I can wear it out here in New England as an outer layer during the winter. The DWR is good enough to repel snow and rain as long as you aren't in a storm for too long. The pockets really warm my hands up. And I love the zipper guard because I no longer catch my chin as I zip my fleece up. It's expensive but worth it.

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.
