"Light on weight, heavy on performance" - Review of Arc'teryx Fission AR Jacket - Men's

I won’t review gear unless I’ve owned it for at least a full season of hard, everyday use. The Fission AR is one of the most indispensable winter products I own. It’s astoundingly lightweight, compresses easily and holds in an incredible amount of warmth without overheating. I wear it climbing in all weather, snowboarding and around town on cold days. I live in Maine and it’s usually perfect with no insulating layer under it, just a wicking base layer. The hood is a bit big for my needs (I wear a helmet, but don’t put a hood over it), and I do wish it had interior pockets. Sleeve gaskets seal nicely over my wrists. The waterproof zipper does its job nicely without a bulky storm flap. If it had a powder skirt it’d get an A+. As is it gets a strong A.
