Delivery time was very good
This jacket has not been used much but it was bought to replace a similar Arc Teryx jacket that worked very well.
It was used for walking and climbing in the Brish mountains
Nothing negative to say.

I own several arc’teryx products and because of they way they are made they are my go-to brand of choice!
This item is superb and is perfect for my usage which is mainly trekking and walking.
Very pleased and satisfied.
Thanks to alpine trek and their wonderful staff and of course to arc’teryx for producing wonderful products.

Fantastic jacket- bit expensive but super to wear. Do not like the hoody so much- useful but I look like one of my "cool" students- hope they make them without soon-
other than that? Best jacket ever (got three myself)

This lives in my rucksack nowadays - it packs down really small and is so light, I hardly notice it in there! It provides great instant warmth during hiking breaks, while packing up the tent on a chilly morning, while sitting in a Scottish bothy waiting for the fire to get going......it has so many uses! It is such a simple yet versatile piece - no fancy stuff, just elasticated cuffs, a simple drawcord and no more pockets than are needed. The only negatives I have about the jacket is that the hood isn't insulated (so be sure to pack a woolly hat as well!) and that I think the zip seems a bit flimsy.....and I'm not sure the few grams of weight saved by a lightweight zip really matters. However, 8 months on and the zip is still going strong, so perhaps it is more robust than it looks. But I'm being picky....this is a great jacket and I'd recommend it to anyone.
