Arc'teryx Fission AR Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0142 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

They goofed, its TOO warm...

By Ranked #229 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets November 21, 2008

I bought this jacket and ended up selling it. I couldn't believe how light it was when I got it. and its sure good-looking and fits like a glove. However after the first run, I was burning up, wearing only a Patagonia capilene base layer and a heavy fleece underneath. At one point I had to take the whole jacket off because I was too hot. My recommendation.... these jackets made with Primaloft ? They should all have core venting. Add more pit-zips and I'll buy a couple. I DO have my eyes on the Fission SV though, wish they made it in more colors though.
