A light but warm jacket that packs into a very small space when needed. The water and wind repellent fabric combined with the armpit breathable mesh fabric make it a good choice for almost every weather. Combined with this, Arcteryx's high quality and neat appearance make the jacket worth five stars.
Very versatile and warm-feeling cry. It can be considered a head jacket and does not look like a Michelin man. In windy weather, the sides shed a little cold, but in a small movement it is not noticeable. A great jacket for cross-country hiking trips in both Finland and Central Europe. Price quality in place.
Quite a great all-around jacket that, when combined with a shell jacket, withstands even the harshest frosts. The "poorness" of wind resistance is mainly due to the open sides. If this is a problem then you should check out the SV model. The jacket has also withstood the harsh surprise rains of winter, although it has not been designed for it.
Comfortable to wear, surprisingly warm and breathes well. From these features at least beats e.g. Patagonia Nanopuffin. Also dimensioning better, no splitting in the middle, sleeves long enough and cuffs excellent. I am not yet able to give a decent estimate of the wind resistance and durability.
