Ranked #586 - Men's Softshell Jackets
November 24, 2008
I've had this coat for a little over a week and it's definitely the most awesome coat I have ever owned. I walked a few miles around town last night in 25F temp, 20mph sustained winds, and 30 mph gusts and I was perfectly warm. I only had a thick short-sleeve cotton shirt on underneath. The Windstopper material honestly cuts out all of the wind. While it is definitely thin, I believe it is extremely warm for how thin it is due to its technologically superior fabrics. If you get cold, all you have to do is cinch up the 3-way adjustable hood and strap up the velcro cinches around the wrists. If that's not enough, cinch up the adjustable waist cord. If you get hot, zip open the pit vents. The jacket is also very easy to move in due to its gusseted underarm design.
Buy this coat. You will not be disappointed with Arc'teryx. The quality is as high as it gets and the design is very well thought out.
I am 5'11" 190lb and the large fits perfectly.
