Customer Reviews for the Hoody Arc'teryx Men's Hercules

Mikhail Kuperblum - November 18, 2009

Great jacket
Stylish, practical, and very light. Can be worn on the slopes or on the cold night in the city. It protects you from the elements and helps you be warm and look cool in the process. Great jacket!

It's very good!

A Good Item
A first-rate piece (like most Arc'teryx items), though it seems not quite as technical as most Arc'teryx pieces. Thanks to the high-loft fleece interior, it has kept me warm in single digit F temps in the Adirondacks at the start of a trip up a peak, and kept me warm again at the summit. Also kept me warm during Columbus Day snowstorm in the Adirondacks while camping in a lean-to. It feels less fitted than most Arc'teryx items, and more comfortable. The hood is also fleece lined, and it keeps my ears warm. Its exterior fabric feels like any other Polartec Powershield, but Arcteryx says it is Powershield O2, which it claims is more breathable. It does not have a wind flap, which is too bad, but I can't say it bothered me too much even in moderately windy conditions.

Quality and fit excellent
I was pleased to see the usual quality and attention to detail that I have come to expect. I purchased a medium and it fit perfect with room for a layer or 2 underneath (I'm 5'10 & 160lbs). I wore it to ski on a windy day at Killington Vt and it was warm and comfortable to wear. It blocks some but enough wind got through to make me re-think what I am going to wear as mid-layers next time out.

Quality gear, if a little pricey
I have to admit that I was taken aback at first by a $350 hoody with a "Made In China" tag, as I was buying Arc'teryx by reputation only. An inspection revealed that the construction was acceptable. I've had the Hercules for a few weeks now and can say a few things about it. It is very warm for its weight. I was able to replace a military surplus parka that I'd been wearing. With proper base layer, the Hercules was easily able to endure a few 10F nights without missing a step. Again, very light and very warm. It sheds a decent amount of water and absolutely stops almost all wind. I sort of wish that the main zip was taped, but that is not a major complaint. All in all, if you catch it on sale (as I did), then I can recommend this soft shell as a solid buy. The fit is spot on and it will also draw some comments from its looks.
