Not worth the $$$

By hidden Ranked #974 - Men's Fleece Jackets March 27, 2006

I tried both the Maverick AR and SV jacket's and I'm not sure I would say either is worth the money. I chose the SV because I found a great deal on it, and found it's fit to be superior. I can deal with Arc’teryx pricing, but I expect every detail to be perfect!
The AR is a far lighter jacket and with that comes freedom of movement, it feels great on. Actually I could barely feel it at all. The only aspect about the feel of the jacket I didn't like was the collar. It was too tight, so that if I tilted my head back and then forward my chin would run into the collar. After experimenting with it for a while I decided it could become a real nuisance. The big problem however was its look, and if you’re out on a mountain who cares, but for this kind of money it better look good too. It seemed as if the zipper was causing the material to cinch upward so that the front of the jacket rippled outward. Along with that it just didn't have the super tailored trim fit I am used to, and love, with Arc’teryx.
