When Arc’teryx introduced their high-tech winter gear to the fashion world, most winter sports enthusiasts we’re impressed. Behind this stylish coat is an assortment of breathable and insulated materials, designed to keep you warm and dry with a minimal amount of material and weight. It can be compressed to fit into a backpack, and rolls out looking full and wrinkle-free.
The majority of insulation in this jacket is made of 850 fill European goose down. However, taking in the consideration that most winter jackets will see winter weather, Arc’teryx has designed a down alternative, known as Coreloft, that has been made for the areas on a coat that are known to get wet. These areas include the underarms, tops of the shoulders, and sleeves.
Coreloft and Arc’teryx will help you stay warm and dry no matter how hard you play, and the craftsmanship is about as fantastic as you’ve come to expect from a brand like Arc’teryx.
