my favorite piece of gear

By adam gaydosh Ranked #1022 - Men's Vests May 9, 2007

I've had this vest for a couple of years now, and even though I had to pay I think more like $250 to be an early adopter, it was worth every penny. This is by far my favorite piece of gear. I wear it all the time, running, mountain biking, snowboarding, cruising around town - it never fails. I tend to overheat, so a softshell vest is perfect for me, I especially like that has the thinner material on the back for breathablity. I've worn this on a 30 min run in the pouring rain and was shocked that I was bone dry underneath. It's a perfect mid layer when I'm boarding (to about 10-15F), or outwear on spring days. I just washed it for maybe the first time in 4-5 years and that was only b/c I had to wash some other shells, it never stunk or lost it's weatherproofing, and has only barely started to not look brand new. Love this vest, it converted me to arc'teryx and I haven't looked back since!
