The Arc’Teryx Men's Ultralight Jacket offers superb warmth at only 8.8 ounces, making it ideal for lightweight backcountry adventures of any kind. Stuffed with Exceloft synthetic insulation, this jacket retains warmth even when wet, but the DWR-coated Ballistic Airlight nylon shell easily brushes off light rain and snow. An included stuff sack compresses and stores the Thermawrap jacket in your pack so you can keep moving fast on your climbing, skiing, or backpacking expedition.
I definitely don't leave home without this arc'teryx jacket in the winter. No it doesn't get that cold in the Valley of the Sun, but up in the northern part of Arizona it gets wet, windy and snowy too.
This compresses down to almost nothing so I can store it anywhere. I almost wish I lived further North so I could justify buying the UL Down version!
Alien Technology! I've owned this THING for six years. I've bicycle commuted with it and a merino base-layer in the winter while living in Sasebo, Japan, and remained completely comfortable. Also have traveled in and about Seattle and New York State during the colder months.
I bought the jacket to replace fleece as a top layer in cool weather and a middle layer under a shell for cold/wet weather.
It's great arc'teryx jackets, very light, super packable and very warm for it’s weight and bulk. Perfect layering piece or just worn on its own. I use this with/under a Patagonia Guide Jacket and with the two it’s the best layering system I’ve ever owned. This is the first Arc’Teryx product I have purchased but will definitely not be my last.
I got this jacket to replace a 20 oz down jacket for summer trips. The weight is only 8. 2 oz in my size, and I thought the synthetic insulation would be better in damp weather. When it arrived, I almost sent it back. Light, yes, but so thin, I could not believe it could actually provide warmth.
