Arc'teryx Maverick AR Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0870 | 60 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Good fleece

By Ranked #830 - Men's Fleece Jackets February 21, 2006

Despite what it the specs say I managed to pill the lower front of the fleece. Kinda expensive for a fleece that pills after a few months. I don't even run much, just a morning jog five days a week.

It's terrific as a covering over a T-shirt base layer. It's almost like another shirt. The thing I love the most is the soft felt lining on the chin guard. Props to that. Welded lining is also a plus.

It's fit for a "slim" person, meaning that it's almost like a wet suit if you're wearing anything long-sleeve under it. I'm a skinny runner (5'9" 145lb) so if a large is tight on me I can't imagine others wearing the same size. Although, I would believe anyone getting this high-priced of a "performance" wear is not a couch potato.

The only thing I wish for is more pockets. Oh well, that wasn’t what I bought it for, it’s supposed to be a base layer under my softshell.

Despite my huge concern about the pilling, this is definitely a great fleece.
