Item #ARC0699 | 196 in Stock

Hey all, so I heard a rumor that new design Arc'teryx jackets...

Hey all, so I heard a rumor that new design Arc'teryx jackets were cut a little bigger, I wear a medium in my other Arc'teryx jackets, should I bump up for a large in this for layering or do they factor that into the design of the shell? Im 6 foot 180 and mediums fit perfect in other jackets, but they are softshells and I don't wear much underneath them.

The rumor you've heard may be a reference to some of the snowsports pieces Arc'teryx makes (called Whiteline). The Ascent collection (climbing inspired, such as this jacket) maintain the trim fit, but still allow for plenty of layers underneath. Go with your standard size.

I just tried mine on with some layering underneath. I'm 6'3", 185lbs, and I can fit a Patagonia R2 fleece and a Patagonia Micropuff vest underneath comfortably, still allowing plenty of movement.

i second Mike's opinion. I'm 6' 4" 185 and the large is dialed.
