Disappointing, suffers from poor fit.

By Anon Ranked #56 - Women's Softshell Jackets November 14, 2006

I love Arc’teryx jackets, but this one disappointed me. I was really looking forward to wearing this beautiful softshell, but it doesn't fit the female body well like Arc’teryx jackets usually do. This jacket is really unflattering and tight in the chest. I'd say if you're a C cup or larger, this jacket won't fit you in the chest either. The pockets are higher than most jackets (like the gamma SV) to accommodate for your pack, but it's actually really awkward because this jacket fits much tighter than the gamma MX and the material near the pockets pops out even if they're zipped closed. I'd try ordering it in a bigger size, but as it is the sleeves are too long (another problem I've never had with any other Arc’teryx jacket). All of my other Arc’teryx jackets in the same size fit perfectly, but this one really suffers from poor fit. After trying it on with just a t-shirt, I can't imagine trying to wear any other layers underneath it. I won't be able to test any of its technical abilities because I'd rather spend my money on a better-fitting jacket. But this jacket may fit smaller chested women better.
