Worst Piece of Arc’teryx Gear I Own
I want to start by saying I own 13 pieces of Arc’teryx gear. They are all 5 star quality. The Kyanite is the bitter exception. The fit is excellent but the fabric feels like delicate sponge & the pilling is unacceptable. At best it will be worn as a mid layer to protect it from contact with just about anything. It began pilling from contact with a draw string. I am at a complete loss where the damage across the back came from. This jacket was purchased on January 14th and has been worn four times. It’s that bad.

Very comfortable, long as you want to wear it open
Power stretch pro is a fantastic fabric. Super comfy and stretchy. Wicks moisture so well you can get soaked and you won't feel much in terms of cold moisture. Fit is ok, typical fleece fit. I like that Arc has not put weird colored pockets all over this and just gone with a subdued look. However... the zipper is absolutely unacceptable. It works its way down in its own. Will NOT stay up. It's unfortunate that this has been used in several products recently. My wife took back the same fleece and hates her Atom for the same reason. Mine may have to go back as well. I'd stay away from these unless you're only goin to use it as a layer or like to constantly fiddle with an annoying zipper.
Another Quality Jacket From Arc'teryx
An excellent mid layer, the smooth face of the Polartec Power Stretch fabric allows easy layering under an outer layer without bunching up. The large fits me perfectly (6'3", 180lbs), not fitness bro tight, but no billowing gut either. The Bushwack color is a really nice natural green that I would never wear into the woods during hunting season as you would be invisible. This has become one of my favorite office layering pieces as it complements natural tones well, is warm but still breathes well, and fits great. I would not wear this as an outer layer if there's much wind as it does not block wind at all. Under even the lightest shell, however, it functions as designed wonderfully.
Not of Great Quality for the Price
Bought this from REI and after wearing for a few weeks in the woods I will be returning. Arc'teryx is a high end brand and you shell out major cash for it. That being said I was very disappointed with the quality of the zipper. I've never had a performance fleece or jacket where the zipper travels on its own like this one. I am pulling the zip back up to my chest from down by my upper stomach every five minutes when wearing it. This is even after sizing up from my normal size so it is not super tight fitting. Gave a three because the material and the wicking ability of this jacket is great. Would have been a go to piece for me heading into the mountains trail running or backpacking in colder weather if it weren't for the zipper.
love it!
Fits like all the other arc jackets (7+) I've owned. Size L, I'm 5' 11" 180lbs 43-44 chest, my arms are a little long, fit is still great. Power stretch is a great material, little more durable than most other fleece, plus the stretch. High breathable rating, which most should know does not come with wind proof at all. Arc teryx cuts there clothing athletic, over weight stubby people beware, no offense meant, somebody has to make clothes for people in shape. Cheers!
Great, lightweight jacket
Perfect weight for cooler spring/fall weather. It's not designed to...nor does it...block any wind. Perfect for layering under a softshell or windbreaker. Others complained about the zipper but I've not had issues. I think this may come down to buying the correct size. I have a 39-inch chest and a medium fits great. If the jacket is tight across your chest the zipper will move. Again, buy the right size and it'll be fine.
Great jacket with one major drawback
I was very excited to receive this jacket. The material felt incredibly soft and the stretch in the material allowed for a very comfortable fit. When i put the jacket on i noticed that it fit very well and was very flattering. This is why i gave it a three star review. However; I then zipped it up and decided to wear it around for a bit to see what i thought while outside. I noticed that the zipper kept moving down just while walking. It usually stops at the top of my stomach. I decided that this is just too big of a flaw to ignore and decided to return the jacket. If it had a better zipper that would stay in place this would be a perfect mid layer jacket in my opinion.
Sharp and functional
My wife glommed onto this at REI in Denver when we visited. She had mentioned that all my jackets looked too “outdoorsy” to wear at any “nicer” functions. I only wear outdoor gear, and avoid the expensive dressy stuff. This one pleased us both. Add to the fact that Arc’teryx fits my body type perfectly, and it was a done deal. The jacket works for mid-temps, and is functional as it is sharp. Good for dinner out or a hike in the canyon. I especially love that it has large but zipper-closed pockets, to keep my necessaries safely tucked away.
Comfortable, but significant pilling of the fabric
The sleeves are really long considering the rest of its proportions. The fabric is highly prone to pilling/fuzzing up with any friction from normal daily activity, and especially when put in contact with even slightly rough stone. I would not recommend this product if you care about such things. Also, the fabric is a very stretchy and light fleece, not dense or hefty like I thought it would be.
Comfortable mid layer
This may be the most comfortable zip up that I've ever purchased. The streachyness is unreal. Time will tell how it holds up throughout the season.
