Joel W's Review of Arc'teryx Trino SL Hoody - Men's

Have been trying to find a good wind resistant yet breathable jacket for cycling. I cycle with wool base layers and have a couple jackets with a nylon shell for the chest. In certain conditions with high output cycling and a strong head wind, my chest area overheats while my arms get chilled. This jacket protects the front side of the arms form the wind and has more breathable material on the back side of arms and back. First outing with it was a 3 hour fat tire fondo in around 30 F degree weather with sleet and drizzle in the latter half. Went with a long sleeve 150 wool base layer and this jacket (high exertion), and stayed comfortably warm. The hood does roll back and snap in place, but not very neatly in my opinion. With the ongoing drizzle and having the hood down, moisture entered from the neck area and absorbed a bit from the precipitation. As for fit, I'm 6'0 225 lbs, athletic build (lean torso/17" bis), and went with L size. Definitely an athletic fit on me. A bit snug in the arms, but not bad. I wanted a more fitted jacket and this fit the bill very well. Jacket is more geared for dry, cold, and windy days. Good breathability trades off with good rain resistance.
