Great jacket

By Geoff Ranked #583 - Men's Softshell Jackets March 4, 2009

I recently used this jacket for a ski trip to Utah, where the temperature ran between the high 20s in the morning and the mid- to high-40s in the afternoon. It performed excellently under those conditions and is especially versatile because of the underarm vents that allow for more temperature control. This is my first Arc'teryx jacket and is consistent with all the pluses and minuses I've read about them -- very light, extremely windproof but also very bare in terms of functionality. There are enough pockets for me -- partly because I use a backpack to carry goggles and other extras -- but I would love a sleeve pocket for my lift pass. My only other vague quibble is that because of the way the non-detachable hood is attached to the jacket, it looks best when the jacket is more or less fully zipped (like in the pictures); otherwise, it tends to flop around a little. A small aesthetic issue for what is otherwise an excellent jacket. I'm off to Colorado soon and can't wait to use it again.
