Not good fit

By jtcash August 17, 2011

I hate to give bad reviews, and I have never had anything bad to say about Arc until now.

I am average size - 5'8" and 39" chest - and normally wear a medium for any brand. The sleeves on this are ridiculously long. The sleeves run down to the midpoint of my fingers. The cuffs, as many others have mentioned, have no velcro or elastics so they don't stay up on your wrists (unless you have big wrists). This is such a poor design. Even for climbing, the sleeve length would be too long.

The chest is also smaller than other medium sized Arc jackets, even those jackets that are supposed to be skin tight (ie - Gamma MX). It is possible that I got a poorly made jacket.

I had to return this because of the poor sizing and cut. This doesn't feel like the usual Arc quality...feels more like a potato sack, especially with the long sleeves.

2 thumbs down.
