So I'm thinking that this is the Ventii jacket that Arc'teryx has on their website. We have reached the era of $1000 shells! The only thing I noticed that makes this jacket unique is the goretex pro shell stretch material and the trim fit (I would assume the trim fit is because the jacket does not need any layering because it is a standalone insulated waterproof shell). How stretchy is this material compared to the stretchiness of a polar tech neoshell garment or compared to the stretch of the new fortius 2.0 material of the gamma mx?

Paul, as usual, is correct on the naming change. This isn't a "shell" jacket, it uses Coreloft insulation, as well as a lining material that adds some warmth (Coreline). Part of the expense is the Stretch Goretex, which doesn't have the stretch of the Fortius (Gamma MX) but it is definitely noticeable. The other part is the feature set and construction. Lots of pockets, removeable hood and pow skirt, and all done in typical Arc'teryx style- very detailed, great fit and super precise seams (no exposed stitching) that other brands just won't do (even at higher prices). As for layering, I'd use a midweight baselayer for most days. If the temps are closing in on 0f, and Atom LT would be all you'd need to add.

This is indeed the Ventii. Arcteryx originally named it the Verto in the sales catalogue (for dealers) when they did their buying in the previous year. They changed the name in between (which happens quite often). It is only moderately warm (80gm/m2 of coreloft). For most condition a base layer and the jacket will be enough. As temps Depending on temps plummet you will still need to layer. No experience with the material. Brandon Carlile (Arc rep on this site is an excellent resource)
