So, what do you think about this Arcteryx jacket review? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for watching, God bless!
Actually had a chance to test this jacket out in 15F today! Very doable if moving, definitely want a shell if more stationary.
Went for a 8mi snowshoe trip just yesterday with my proton . About 1800' gain. It was around 17°f, and for the most part, it was perfect with an alpaca base on. It was pretty blue bird so had to unzip all the way to breathe as I did start to sweat about the treeline with no wind.
Phenomenal review, helped me make up my mind, been looking at it for a while!
Thank you for watching, glad this review was helpful!
Another excellent review my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Glad for your return dude. Keep doing great videos. We Love your reviews.❤
Hope you can do another for tactical boots.
The Zephyr MK2 is waiting for you.
Thank you, it means a lot! I have actually spoke with Lowa rep not too long ago about MK2s, they were supposed to send a pair. I'll reach out again, see whatsup, if anything I might be able to pick up a pair myself, been curious to check them out! Thank you for being part of this channel and watching this videos!
+1 on Zephyr MK2, would love to see the review!
Thank you great video
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for making this review much appreciated. What size are you wearing btw and your stats?
Thank you for watching! I got size XS, and I am 5'10 155.
thanks for review, is the fabric dwr treated?
Thank you for watching! Yes, the fabric is DWR treated!
Where are those green pants from with the black patches?
I got them from Amazon, the brand is called Ushare Outdoor... I don't think they are available anymore, but I am pretty sure they are a cheaper version of Revolution Race pants.
What brand are the black hiking pants?
These are Arc'teryx Gamma: amzn.to/3HLc3wg Haven't done a review on them yet, but definitely will sometime soon!
@@UltimateSurvivalGear thanks mate.
Wouldn't you be better off with a wind shirt and grid fleece for 99% of the stuff you described in the video? The Proton and its sibling jacket the Atom, are way too hot for active use unless its really cold, like below freezing, and at that point they aren't warm enough for static use, so you end up needing a layering system anyway. So why bother?
If you do a lot of climbing get a Techface or softshell, its way more durable then "Fortius 20". If you want a breathable mid, a Patagonia R1 will be about 8x as breathable as either the Proton or Atom. And if you need wind protection, get a windbreaker. You can get an Alpha 90 fleece and a wind jacket like the Houdini for half the price and weight of a Proton. But yeah, marketing and such...
Appreciate your input. I will take note of your suggestions and will try them out next season!
#JESUSSAVES Brother! Thank you for this thorough review, what would you recommend for a GXT hard-shell?
*GTX
Amen brother, Jesus Saves! Glad this review was helpful. I only ever had a chance to try one GTX hardshell jacket and that's the one I have now from Sweet Protection, I think Apex it is called. So far its been great, been skiing today in 10F comfortably. I will make a review for it!
