Jon. Thanks a lot. I already have an old Sigma Ar. It is a medium and a little loose and not that warm and has perforated hand pockets which don't like. I tried Alchemy medium which is snug and seems warm. However, I thought would like to get hood on next jacket and stick with Arcteryx. Would like to have one go to jacket for general use for fall/spring time. What jacket would u recommend? Thanks. Steve

Steve. If you want to stick with Arcteryx and you want a hood I would pick up a Venta SV. It's made with 3 different kinds of Gore Windstopper fabric and will provide you with lots of weather protection on those fall days. Good luck!
