Whether at the top of Forbidden Peak in the Washington backcountry or carving first tracks through beautiful Wasatch powder, this jacket gets it done. With the exceptional weather protection and breathability of its Gore-Tex Pro fabric, this jacket is a far cry ..." Read Full Review »

"As with all ARCTERYX products it is very well build, however it did not work for me. At 6'2" with 36" inch arms this jacket was really short in a large and an extra large, just check the size chart before buying, ARCTERYX has a ton of jackets similar with a longer cut and longer arms. "
