Ranked #876 - Men's Rain Jackets
December 5, 2010
I like anoraks and have been looking for a good goretex option in one, so the arc'teryx pullover was the ticket for me. First paclite garmet and it's really nice. Took it to the UK for a trip and it was super in the rain, but I'm a bit cautious about pushing through brush on hiking trips with it. The shell is really fits true, but there seems to be a big size difference between products made in Canada and those in other countries. XL from Canada fits different than arc'teryx products from overseas.
Super nice pullover. My one gripe is that there is a weird odor with the product out of the box. Smells like old cigarette. Maybe it's just the odors from production and it seems to be wearing off. I have a atom LT hoody which matches up well to this and it has the same unique smell. Seems to wear off over time, but maybe those cheaper facilities allow smokers....
