Actually it isn't as slim as Arcteryx's Atheletic Fit, this is really the closest Arcteryx gets to a regular fit in their softshells. It is one of their longest softshells as well, just longer than their standard hip length with a droptail hem and hitting below the belt in the front. Since it is part of their Whiteline/Descent ski and snowboard oriented line, there is room for layering. At 6'2" and 170, I wear a medium, and my Gamma MX jacket is shorter and tighter fitting than my Griffon is.

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.
