Arc'teryx Matador Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0542 | 0 in Stock

How well insulated is this jacket, and how well does it compress?...

By Ranked #4502 - Men's Softshell Jackets March 17, 2009

How well insulated is this jacket, and how well does it compress? I'm looking for a synthetic insulation jacket that I can put on after a day of backpacking. Ideally it should keep me warm at ~30F. Is the Matador good for that?

This is definitely compressible but is made more for skiing rather than a backpacking trip. Check out some of the Montbell products instead (ie. MTB0070).
