Good if you’re an ice climber, not a soccer dad - Arc'teryx Alpha IS Jacket - Men's

Jeff R.'s Review of Arc'teryx Alpha IS Jacket - Men's
Extremely lightweight with a decent amount of insulation. Nice long arms. I’m 6’3” 215 and the XL fit well. However I returned this item. I would normally never buy this but jumped at the sale price. I didn’t buy it to ice climb but to watch my kid play soccer in the freezing rain, and I love Arc’teryx products because they are one of few brands that fit my sleeve length. I returned it because: it is extremely crinkly sounding (like a trash bag), the hood is way too big (unless you wear a helmet which I don’t), which also makes the collar very big when worn down, the cuffs are the slightest bit loose (and are non-adjustable), and other than the hand warmer pockets (which are nice) there are only 2 other pockets. I also got the Fission SV to compare and I’m going to keep that one - better for my needs (quieter, less ridiculous hood, more pockets, cheaper). The Fission SV is slightly heavier but I’m willing to accept that. Thanks.
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Crinkly, huge hood
Best Used for:
