Arc'teryx Solano Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0555 | 149 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great windbreaker

By Ranked #160 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets December 1, 2009

This is a very thin jacket that does well in the wind. It would keep you dry during a brief shower, but not in a steady rain. The polyester lining helps to keep your torso warm, but it's really nice that the sleeves don't have it (so that it's relatively easy to put on over a long-sleeve baselayer). Really, this is a high-quality, breathable, no-frills windbreaker. I gave it 4 stars primarily because it has only the two hand pockets (no chest pocket, and no internal pockets). It's fit is fitted (slightly more than the Gamma AR or MX) so there's not much room for layering.
