Great jacket
Lightweight, durable, breathable, and versatile. This jacket is one of the most frequently used jackets in my closet. I wear it during both work and play, and it has held up very well since I purchased it a few months ago. It even kept me dry during a light rain storm recently. Definitely a great jacket.

Great Jacket
Huge fan of the Epsilon ar. I have several other pieces from Arc'Teryx and this one lives up to the rest, despite that it is made in China. The only way you will know it is made in China is on the tab near the neck. Other than that the craftsmanship is there. This is a great jacket for those cool summer nights walking the dog or just hangin' around at the local pub. Try to find it on sale. Although, considering the high price of most softshells this one is relatively inexpensive. This jacket is for the minimalist who needs the added waterproofness of a light weight shell. The dual napolean pockets are handy. Granted it has no pockets on the hips, who needs 'em? If I need to hold anything its usually in my pants pocket or the napolean pocket. The soft fleece on the inside of the neck is great too. Go ahead and pick it up, you won't be disappointed!

worth the money
As I'm loving trendy sportsware, arc'teryx is a top brand. The Jacket is lightweight and tough. only the zipper is not so good especially for men for which it is on the wrong side ;-) I wear it most as a normal Jacket for going to work.

many uses
great lightweight jacket! It dries so quickly and practically comes out of the washing machine dry. perfect for cycling, running or an extra "just in case" piece. looks great around town as well. I'm 5'11" and 165 with a medium build and the medium fits perfect. It does have a little bit of an athletic cut to it. as an added bonus, "two frozen waffles can fit in one of the front napoleon pockets! you can't beat that!"

Lightweight Waterproof Handsome
This jacket holds its own in the Seattle winter. It's also good looking enough to wear to the bar after riding my bike all day. It's a well designed soft shell that's not loud or neon or screaming bike commuter. Looks good in the saddle or on skis or on a bar stool.

Water beads on it
Pulled my jacket out of the box yesterday and walked my dog in it. I wore it, not the dog. Liked how it kept me totally dry.

Kicks Ass
I love this jacket, it totally rocks. Arcteryx is the coolest looking, and this jacket keeps me warm when I'm running up mountains and the wind is cold.

Great all around jacket with slight issues.
I like this jacket a lot, its easy to throw on top of whatever I've got as base layer. Its very pack friendly. Once folded, it can get pretty small. The only one gripe I have with this jacket is that it only has 2 pockets. Also, this jacket cuts standard to size and offers plenty of area for under layer, so don't size up.

Great Jacket!
Id like to disagree with 'david' about this jacket because i dont believe the fact that the jacket was made in china makes any differnce to the quality of the jacket, because i still think its a great jacket and its quite warm(Ive used it for ice climbing in winter and it held up pretty well!), and for the cheap price its more than i hoped for! but its cut pretty short so if your tall you may want to get a size bigger than you ussually would because it has a habit of being shorter than the other layers you heave beneath it, but still its a great jacket! rob

Very decent for it's intended purpose.
I got this jacket over a year ago for a super deal, like $80, but I wouldn't pay full price for it. It has limited stand alone warmth, and nill on the wind protection. It stands against light rain, and snow well. I use it for fast paced activities, and it breathes very well. I don't own an ipod, but the two front pocket seem like they could hold something slightly bigger, but not much thicker. I would have liked the hem to drop down a bit more. I'm 5'11", and the size medium only comes past my waist an inch or so, but the rest of the jacket fits very nicely. All in all if your moving fast, it's cool/cold out, and you want something that is going to protect you from some unpredictable weather this is a very good jacket. Of course they came out with the hooded version a few months after I bought the AR. Maybe I'll find it for a super deal.

Nice jacket but nothing special though...
Fits well, fairly light weight, good for work-outs. Lacks interior pocket... It's got the Arcteryx name but does not warrant the high price...
