The lightest in their insulated waterproof lineup, the Arc'teryx Men's Fission SL Jacket uses the highest quality materials available and a streamlined design to keep you warm, dry and performing at optimal levels when you're in the mountains. An exterior shell constructed with Gore-Tex Pro Shell 2-layer fabric keeps you dry and non-quilted ThermaTek insulation is laminated inside to eliminate baffles and cold spots. The fully insulated, helmet-compatible storm hood adjusts for customized coverage and a 2-way waterproof zipper up front accommodates climbing gear while a snap at the bottom maintains protection from the elements. Watertight pit zips are there for ventilation when activity levels pickup.
Including the simple features you need cutting out extraneous bells and whistles, this non-nonsense winter jacket has 2 exterior pockets with laminated zippers and 2 large drop-in mesh pockets inside. The bottom hem has a one-hand adjustable drawcord to seal out snow and icy wind and the cuffs have laminated, die-cut Velcro tabs that won't catch or tear off and reduce bulk. Articulated elbows and an athletic fit reduce bulk too, and still give you room to layer up underneath and move when you're swinging a tool. When it comes to alpine climbing, don't skimp on your jacket. Go for the best-in-class Arc'teryx Fission SL Jacket for men.

Awesome jacket, As for me, it's the best Arc'teryx jacket, of course, its price is most expensive. But it is absolutely worth with its price. Due to its materials , it's waterproof. secondly, its insulation has a high tech, it's very warm in winter. Moreover, it looks so cool and has a very high quality, I love it very much.

light and warm
This used to be the most expensive jacket arc'teryx put out, yet it is worth every penny. Very light, but super warm and comfortable. Waterproof outer shell makes it perfect for winter activities. The cut is a bit thinner than my other jackets, so I can't put much thermal layer under it. But I really don't need to put much under, because it is so toasty warm. I wish there were more colors to choose from when I bought it.

Worth Every Penny
This Canadian made jacket is THE jacket to end all. I bought this at the tail end of the season to catch some of the last snow in Idaho. My only concern with this model was the question of durability. I'm not the best skier, and plan on taking my share of falls (and did) - but not a tear to be found at the end of the day. I still think I may revert back to my Arcteryx Atlas SV for hunting in the heavy Tennessee brush come deer season...but for all around comfort, packability, breathability - this jacket delivers; and IMHO is on the reasonable side of price. (Until you've been cold and damp...and would've given your front teeth to be warm and dry - you'll have no understanding of what is expensive, and what's worth the investment. This one's easily worth every penny!) 5' 11" 175lbs. (L) is on the money with room for a sweater or mid layer.

Fission SL
After wearing this jacking through two arctic snow storm this year. I must say I'm extreamely impressed with this jacket. Ultra warm, ultra compressible, and very light. This jacket is not quite as compressible as down but very close not to mention this jacket is completly weather proof. I think this is the best jacke I ever owned. The arm pit zipper is excellent for ventilation. Inside pockets are well placd and large enough for hat and gloves. I would highly recommand this to anyone. I would defintly consider buying one for my wife. Just wish Altrec carry this jacket for woman.
