Rating for this product: 5 August 2, 2010

I own a men's gravity softshell, and bought one for my girlfriend. She's gotten tons of compliments on it. I'm giving this 5 stars because the jacket is just so awesome, but I wish I could get her one (non-black) with darker colors so she wouldn't be as worried about getting it smudged / dirty.

Not the same

Arc'teryx Alibi Short - Men's

Arc'teryx Alibi Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 February 18, 2010

I already own a pair of these, waist size 30, and I just love them. I saw them on sale again at backcountry, and ordered another pair, expecting them to have the same fit as the first pair. Alas, I was in for disappointment - While the waist is still 30 inches around, there was less fabric elsewhere in the shorts, leaving them tight around my thighs. So tight, in fact, that I can hardly raise my knees....making these a poor pair of shorts for climbing. I looked at the label, and the older, well fitting shorts were made in thailand, while the poorly-fitting shorts were made in china. It's almost as if the Chinese makers fiddled with the patterns in order to save a little extra fabric.

Durable shorts

Arc'teryx Gamut Short - Men's

Arc'teryx Gamut Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 5, 2009

Arcteryx shorts are a little weird for me. I run about a 29-30 inch waist, but 30 inch shorts from arcteryx make me look like I'm in an advertisement for some diet product. They don't fall down (thank goodness) - they hold at the right height, held by my hips. So, last time, I got 30-inch alibi shorts, they had this problem. This time, I got a couple pairs of gamut shorts with a 28 inch waist, figuring I'd send them back if they were too small. Well, they fit, and I think I like them better at 28 inches than 30 inches, but they're slightly tight. The gamut shorts feel like they're cut different than the alibi shorts, with larger leg openings, and shorter legs (they feel more square than the alibi shorts). The fabric and quality are quite good, and I'm happy I bought them.

Not too bad.

Arc'teryx Outline T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Arc'teryx Outline T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 5, 2009

It's a fairly comfortable T-shirt, and fits about as expected (medium, 5'10", 150lbs, narrow waist). The T-shirt has a nice feel to the fabric, and is a pleasure to wear. One drawback though, is that I experienced a little problem with spot bleaching (think from clearasil....). A few of my other shirts have fallen victim to the same problem, but others have survived for years with no problems. The advertised price is a little steep for a t-shirt, but unless you go for, say, organic cotton and that perfect fabric feel, you get an above-average t-shirt for the price. Wait until you can get it on sale though.

I bought this for my girlfriend's birthday, since she's always borrowing mine (I have the men's port/afterdark) It's pretty much what I expected, based on my experience with my own...warm, comfortable, what I throw on when I get home from work, and my go-to base layer when I'm out-of-doors and it's fairly chilly.

Just thought I'd mention that the 'raven' color is lighter than the picture would lead you to believe. It's more of a 'tan' than a dark brown.
