This Phoenix model of Arc'Teryx Shirts is great! Even after six hours of heavy rain I remained resonably dry (I felt just slightly more damp than my arc'teryx pants that kept me absolutely DRY). The arc'teryx jackets seems very breathable (much better than my REI pants)and packed down nicely, in my bag. Two thumbs up!
I hike in the N. GA, TN, and NC mountains during late spring, late summer/early fall. Sometimes late fall. also some hiking in FL. Pretty much during the rainy seasons. I gave my first Phoenix Shirt of Arc’Teryx to a friend (I lost a bet) and regreted it since.
Great Shirt. Very lightweight, just throw it in your bag and forget about it. Perfect for any weather since it's a layering piece. I've worn it in 5 degree weather with just a sweater on underneath. Awesome product, also extremly water-proof since the seams are taped and the shirt is made out of PreCip material.
I was looking for a lightweight yet somewhat functional rain shirt. I happened onto the Arc’Teryx Ether Crew LS Shirt. I was drawn to both. However, I gave the Phoenix the nod and was glad I did. The Oracle was very competitive, however, the pockets were too large and awkward.
