This jacket has performed well for a variety of activities, from cold weather camping to a forget about just-in-case layer to bring along backcountry skiing. The material feels comfortable next to skin, and provides enough warmth to throw over a light shirt and feel comfortable during a winter commute. I can't say that I love the styling or colors compared to other Arc'teryx pieces, and I've noticed that the synthetic insulation around the shoulders and cuffs has lost a noticeable amount of loft. I would rather have the full jacket with down, but this is a minor compliant. Overall a great jacket.

I own tons of Arc'teryx gear and would rate every item purchased in the past at 5 stars. This jacket, however, is a different story. It's warm as he'll, and fits like a glove, but after 4 days on a repelling tower, it's looking pretty shabby. I found a hole in the left pocket on the third day, not sure how it happened, but the fabric seems very delicate. Also, I am constantly finding the insulation penetrating the fabric and needing to be worked back in.

The jacket is super light. It packs down as advertised, and it is extremely toasty, but the fabric used seems much more fragile than anything I've ever seen put out by Arc'teryx. Sad, because for the price, I would have expected it to hold up better.

Purchased as a gift for our son. Needed jacket for skiing as well as everyday northeastern weather climate. This fit the need as well for fit and excellent quality. Worth every penny thus far. Time will tell regarding down fill issues.

High quality down, light fabric with synthetic insulation in the right spots and a trim fitting hoodless fit was exactly what I've been looking for.
I'm 6'2" 180ish with an athletic build, the large fits perfect under most layers.
For cool days at the ski area this works as a stand alone but keeps me toasty with a shell over it.
Pros: Warmth for its size. Packability, gets down to about the size of a pint glass in its stuff sack. Trim fitting is great for laying over a mid layer. Light, at 9oz its great for once counters. The had pockets are great, sit above a harness or hip belt.
Cons: Zipper is hard to start with gloves. Collar is a little tight.

All in all this is an awesome lightweight puffy for anyone looking for a warm jacket. From splitboarding and working at a ski are to using while belaying in the dessert in winter. Price is high but so is the quality

I'm 5'9, weigh 150 lbs with a runner's build. I was totally looking forward to this jacket after wearing out my Patagonia Down Sweater for years but found the fit on this jacket a bit off. It's fitted which was a plus, but the arm holes are very high and it's not like I have guns for arms. I've gone with a small for my prior Arcteryx jackets which have all fit perfectly but this one was a miss, at least for me.

is it canceled

Apre' dining and drinks have never been so warm! I haven't used this guy too far into the backcountry just yet but for those cold resort days and my favorite part, apre', this jacket is perfect. You'll be warm, dry, and in style. Bird delivers as always.

This was my first Arc'teryx product and the moment I got it, it was a cold night and I had to run to the store. With no hesitation I threw it on and zipped it up. I was comfortably warm before I could turn the heat on in my car. Invest in Arc'teryx. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH IT . Ill be buying a lot more of their clothing.

Never thought this jacket would perform as well as it does. It's super light and the most amazing part is that it keeps me warm when it's 30 F outside but it never makes me too hot, even when temperatures rise to 60 F.

I got this jacket for hiking as well as everyday wear. The light blue one came out nice, it was a little tight around the belly and loose around my chest. It has no inside pocket so a negative there. I have not used in very cold weather so cannot say how it holds up. the jacket lost a fair bit of feathers in the first few weeks.

The jackets looks great! Bought as a base layer for under my Arc'teryx shell. Form fitting, comfortable, warm, great looking with one major flaw! The down filling consistently coming out of the shell and unfortunately in many cases causing small holes in the shell. The jacket was worn less than 15 times and primarily as a base layer and has 9 noticeable holes that needed to be patched. I have a Marmot and Patagonia which have been put through the ringer with zero issues. They explained their fabric isn't as thick and if you put the feathers back in the hole goes away. I have to disagree. Arc'teryx didn't warranty the jacket charged me a $100 fee for a replacement. I understand even with the best products their can be problems and quality issues. So my issue wasn't that the jacket failed, but as a long time user of Arc'teryx products, especially ski gear, this jacket should be covered under warranty. Just have to think twice about whether the premium price is worth.

Quality jacket. Extremely light and packs up small. Used for a couple backpacking treks in winter. Not warm at all. My synthetic 60$ ripped mountain hardware is much much warmer. Returned.

It is great，i love it so much although it is not fit to me ，size too small for me .I shoud bought m intead of s，so pety。

Got this for my dad and he loves it. He was looking for a medium "puff" jacket with no hood and this fit the bill perfectly. Can't go wrong with Arc'teryx! It is a fitted jacket though so if you want to layer - I would size up.

Arcteryx clothing is weird on me. I purchase the small but was too small. I then purchase the medium, everything was good except the shoulders are too far apart. I had to return.

Love this jacket. Very warm and packs great. I have had no issues with the down coming out. Little tight around the chest/armpits, but that is the make of the jacket so cannot really complain about that. Wife loves the Admiral color. Highly recommend.

Bought the Fission SV Insulated Jacket in a size Medium and it fit great, so got this in a Medium and it was too small. Size up one size with this.
Other than that this is a great jacket. Works great under a shell or as a stand alone. Super light!

I got this for a friend who was starting a new job working outdoors, and this is what he had to say.
The Good: True to size, no frills, sturdy, nice stuff-sack pocket, warm in the capacity of a sweater, looks fly
The Bad: No interior pockets, leaks down early
The Neutral: It's tight around chest and armpits for his body type

This jacket has kept me warm in cold weather and the fit in the body is good. I weigh 185lbs and I am 6' tall. the sleeves are a little tight in the forearm area, but not too bad, could add another inch to the circumference. The jacket packs down small and is very light. I love the stuff sack that is in the pocket. There are a few shortcomings with the jacket though. It could use an elastic drawstring on the bottom of the jacket. In windy weather wind tends to get in through the bottom of the jacket reducing the eficiency of the intended purpose . The other thing is they need to lower the zippers on the pockets down about and inch or an inch and a half. When my hands are in the pocket I feel them sitting on the bottom of the zipper and after a while of this stress I can see the zippers bowing out on the bottom. fix these and this will be a great jacket. and when you do fix these gripes, feel free to send me another Large. Thanks
