Arc'teryx Kappa SV Hooded Insulated Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0687 | 0 in Stock
2 Star Rating

over hyped - poor design

By Ranked #1229 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets February 6, 2010

I bought this jacket, found it is over hyped.

engineering wise, it is fairly good and quality product.
But it is ugly design, especially the hood, it is enormous - ugly huge, I mean it.

dude, I was wondering who had such big head to be pocketed in such huge hood. For people think to by the jacket, pay attention to the hood when you receive it.

jacket returned.

Hoods have to be big to fit over a helmet. Unless you don't wear a helmet when climbing.
