Arc'teryx Men's Apache AR Zip

Arcteryx Apache
Nice 40-60 degree pullover for around town or mid-layer for a chilly Friday night football game. True to size...I'm 5'11 and 185 pounds (44 Chest-32 Waist) the large fits perfect. I've already made a mental note not to tumble dry. If you have concerns about size or length...go with the XL.

Looks great and functional
I purchased the XL, I am tall; 6'6" and thin; about 210 lbs and both the length and width is fine. I use for underlayering during the winter and just around the house when it is cold. Looks great and functional

Fits well, looks great, keeps me warm
I like the way it fits and hangs. I get a lot of compliments on it. And it insulates really well without making me feel overheated.

Wonderful jacket for layering
This is a top-quality layering piece that fits well. It is comfortable without a bunch of extra fabric to bunch up. I purchased the XL size and am 6' and 210 pounds and it is the right size. This is great worn over a base layer or as a mid-layer with my Gamma LT Pullover to cut the wind. The zipper makes it easy to adjust so I don't get too hot when snowshoeing. I will be buying other colors of this top in the future. This top is Made in Canada.

excellent feel and versatile
This is by far my most comfortable and warm zip. I wear it around the house on cold northern Ohio days and if the weather is just a little chilly out I will wear it outside without a shell. Just Awesome!

Denali Pass
GREAT! It kept me warm and comfortable for 22 days on Denali June 007 expedition. The BEST. Excellent 2nd layer under my 900 down parka when traversing Denali's 18,500 ft. Pass and on to the summit! I plan to purchase another one soon for my Hamalyan trip. Arc'teryx YOU are The BEST!

Excellent and more
I used it in cold weather and in extremely cold weather as a second layer. It is perfect. It is also versatile using it as a sweater, as a second layer, and casual. One of my very best buys.

"Next to skin" fit, yet very comfortable and warm. Great to wear it in the slopes...impeccable looks if you want to wear it at nights. Ideal mid-layer for very cold days. Statue and Sangria colors are simply AWESOME. I was expecting nothing less from Arc'terix.

A Favorite
This sweater is deceptively warm and flamboyantly stylish. Sizing is a little tricky because, as described, it runs a little small, but not so much that you would size down. Suffice it to say, this is designed for a fit body. I highly recommend ordering this in the statue color - It is beautiful and unique.

Great piece of clothing!!
This was the second Apache AR sweater that I purchased, I loved them that much. The fit is definitely fitted, not loose. But it fits nice. They are very warm and the type of fleece should not pill. I am very pleased with this purchase. BTW the Statue is actually a very light teal green color, looks good. The other colors seem to look like they should.

nicer then a normal fleece
As with most every Arc'teryx products the Apache AR Zip is excellent, I have two of them in different colors and really like their Tech look that is dressier then a fleece.

Apache AR Zip
From its classic looks to its simple comfort and fit, the AR Zip is top knotch. Had a chance to wear it in colder windier climes recently and it was all I needed during a long hike. And the fitted cut to the shirt added to the protection provided by the Thermal Pro fleece. Like all my outdoor performance and technical clothes, I can't wait until winter to live in my AR Zip. May have to add another Zip to my growing Arc'Teryx collection.

Warm, looks great!
This is a non-compressible mid-layer. Great for town wear and IMHO better looking than the Covert lineup made of the same thermal pro.

excellent mid-weight fleece
this is an excellent piece, with a nice non-polyester feeling to it. very warm, and perfect as a pullover or sweatshirt alternative. It's not the most compressible, so I mainly use it for town wear or over a tee and then with a shell.

Great for layering
Very light, compact, and quick to dry. The fit isn't exactly small, as some claim this manufacturer's patterns to be. Rather, it is close-fitting, although unconstricting. The small-diameter sleeves in particular make it especially easy to slip another garment over this, which you may well want to, as it is more of a pullover shirt than a jacket.

This is a high quality insulating layer. It is a little expensive compare to other brands, but Arc'teryx made high quality products.

Good looks, nice feel to it
A great looking pullover that is versatile. Fits really snug but not tight. I'm 6'1" 190 lbs and the large works pretty well. Could be comfortable in 40-50 degree weather with this over a single layer (t-shirt)

Great~
The Arc'teryx Apache AR Zip is so nice that I've bought more than one. It's warm, has a unique look and feel, and it is made with quality craftsmanship. The only drawback is that it has a very slim profile, so if you are overweight, the sizing might not work for you. Yes, Arc'teryx products might be a little pricier than other brands, but they're worth it!
