I needed a new light jacket/mid layer and this one is working great so far. Just enough insulation to add as a first layer over short sleeves, even warmer if you're already in a long sleeve base layer, but breathable enough to not overheat while doing moderate activity. Packs nice and small (folds into one of the pockets if you really want to pack it down). Got it in green and love the color.
Bought it around a month or two ago, originally when I got the jacket I thought the insulation was a bit less that expected but it seems to function quite well while moving. I enjoy the insulated pockets as this is good to keep snacks and battery warm while on alpine missions or cold crag days. I really like the stiff cuffs as you can push them up and also not get them destroyed while climbing. really like how the armpits are not insulated as it allows for a better moisture dump while on the move. my issue with this is I'm questioning the durability due to some small fraying occurring already and the hood. I find the insulated hood a bit useless as its made to fit over a helmet, therefore while wearing it without the helmet the fit is not super-snug. I feel that when wearing it over a helmet it doesn't serve a huge use.
Perfect active insulation piece if you run hot. It has *just* enough insulation in the core to keep you warm over a big range of temps. Quantum Air face fabric breathes super well. The lack of insulation in the arms helps to regulate temp but also improves freedom of movement when climbing or steep hiking. The cut is slim but not restrictive; enough to layer a light fleece underneath for a boost in warmth. Overall very impressed and the Cirrus has already replaced another popular active insulation piece in my layering system because that one is just too hot. I’ve used this for bike commuting down to 0F (which is really pushing it for that application, just on the edge of comfort), ice climbing at 15F as an action layer, and steep alpine snow routes. Definitely my new go-to for active pursuits in cold weather. Build quality is great with attention to detail.
I use this jacket for everything! It can serve as a casual light hoody or techinical midlayer. I run pretty hot so the fleece lined arms provide just enough warmth while the light insulated body keeps my core slightly warm. It works great for me as a ski midlayer or cold morning bike jacket. It packs fairly small so it's easy to shed when the day warms up. Super stoked on this jacket.
Fit is somewhat snug. I wasn't really impressed with this jacket, esp. the fit ...The whole jacket just seemed very ordinary and not so special in any way. Fabric and fit didnt dazzle me at all. The color Dark Bolt in this material looked very dull too, not at all like in the pictures. Just very ordinary across the board.
Perfect for bring active in winter. Primarily use for fat biking. Good down to around 15 if you are working hard. Hood fits perfect inside helmet. Would work for midlayer skiing, skinning, cross country skiing, of cool spring/fall days. Medium perfect for me 5'11" 170.
Got a large and the fit is great. I’m 6’1 175lb. Wear this as an everyday jacket and a midlayer when snowboarding. Only thing is I wish the arm were a little more insulated like the core of the jacket is. Overall very satisfied.
Stylish and very comfortable, lightweight and breathable. It's not meant as a heavy winter jacket but great for those cool weather days. It's also packable so a nice jacket to throw in the bag when traveling.
This item replaces an Arcteryx Proton FL which did work well but the hood design was not very comfortable. This item is not as fragile and overall the build is more robust. Pleased so far.
Fit is solid. Got the green and the color is vivid which I like. 6'3 210ish and went XL perfect in length and arms.
