THE BEST!
I hemmed and hawed before buying this jacket. Wow! A great Arcteryx piece that is worth every penny,(I did happen to wait long enough for it go on sale). It is light as a feather yet very warm. The XS is perfect! As a small person (5'3)it is nice when a company makes their XS to fit as such. I love this jacket and I am very impressed with Arcteryx in general. Highly recommended!
Awesome jacket
I got this jacket from my husband. It's a great hoody, blocks the wind, repels water and looks great. I get compliments all the time. If you get one jacket, it has to be this one.
Bestest Jacket
True to size. Not too long. Dynamite jacket. I've had several Arc'teryx jackets for various extremes, but this jacket is the best all around. Can be layered or worn with thin shirt. Just as described. Warm in frigid temps, without overheating. Great for biking or casual rain gear. I don't like the bulk of a hood, but this one is unnoticeable. A bit pricey, but I plan on wearing it to my grave.
Great lightweight jacket or layer
Love this jacket! Fit is trim. I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs and the small is perfect. nicely insulates and blocks wind. I'm using for xcountry skiing and out and about on bluebird days here in Park City.
My husband did well on this Christmas gift!!
I just received this in the Coffee Bean color (which is gorgeous!), size Small. It's a beautiful softshell jacket -- very lightweight, but I love the high pile liner. A word of warning in that it is quite fitted though, so if in doubt, I'd recommend sizing up -- especially if you plan to layer underneath the jacket. It hits right at the top of your hips. All in all, I think this is going to be one of my winter staples!
