The material is largely composed of recycled polyester and has a rugged, modern shell. Schoeller Dynamic-Material serves as the laminate. Besides the hand pockets, the Strato jackets also have a small chest pocket to fit a cell-phone or an MP3-player.

I love it
I bought Covert Cardigan first. I love this one much better then the first one whatever on color, shape and cuffs The color and shapy matches my Beta AR Jacket very well.
Women's Strato Jacket
Great Layering piece for my Alpha SL jacket. The cuffs work great and do not bunch under the other jacket. the contrast color on the Strato matches my Alpha perfectly.
super comfy jacket
Love this coat. Actually a nice fleece jacket and does not pill. It is nice and thin yet warm so it can be layered easily. The fit is athletic (shows a waistline) and it is nice and long. Longer than another Arcteryx fleece I have. I only wish there were more color options. I would definitely recommend this jacket.
Great Fleece
Bought this as a birthday gift for my sister. She hasn't stopped thanking me for it since I gave it to her 2 weeks ago!! She loves it and says it is the nicest fleece style jacket she has ever worn. Arcteryx makes high quality clothing that can cost a lot of money.

Fitted cuffs, long tail, arcteryx quality.
So far, I've only taken this jacket out for 3 hikes and washed it once. I cannot comment on if it will pill (which was my biggest complaint for my '09 arcteryx fleece cardigan). My favorite feature of this jacket has been the fitted cuffs, which layer nicely under gloves. They also block wind from channeling up the sleeves. The cuffs fit my large wrists w/out applying any pressure to my skin - they're extremely comfortable. They would not allow for gloves to easily be layered under the cuffs (this might not be the case if you have smaller wrists). The other notable feature of this jacket is it's overall length. I have a short torso, so the jacket comes well past my waist. The back has a tail that provides more coverage for when you're in a bent over position. The tail does peak out from under my arcteryx beta AR rain jacket. Living in WA though, I tend to have on rain pants if I have on a rain jacket, so I just tuck the fleece into the pants to solve the problem. As for the overall size, I'm a petite size 4/6 and ordered a small. There is a fair amount of room in both the arms and the torso - I could easily fit another layer of fleece under the jacket. This fit looks good but I have to be careful on gusty days that I tuck layers in to prevent air from gusting up the torso. Overall, I'm extremely happy w/the jacket's quality - pretty standard for what I expect from arcteryx.
