Exceeded expectations

Arc'teryx Thorium AR Hoody - Men's
This jacket is everything that I would expect from mountain hardwear. Extremely high quality for its intended use. Very light weight, but doesn’t sacrifice anything in the “nice to have” area (double hand pockets, waist cinch, etc.) I fully intend to buy this jacket again in the future when I’ve eventually worn mine out.
great wind jacket

Arc'teryx Incendo Hoody - Men's
This jacket is super light?,great as an add to a backcountry pack. Does well in a light rain, not going to keep you dry through a downpour? at all. Good end breaker and super light. Exactly what you would expect.

Cozy bag for a cold sleeper
I have been using this bag for colder camping. I am alway cold when I sleep, especially winter camping. This is one of the few bags I've found that will keep me warm even through the coldest nights.
On top of being warm it is also fairly light and I don't have to think twice about bring it on overnight trips in the back country or big climbs.
I love that I don't have to sacrifice a lighter pack for comfort, with this bag I can have both:)

Scarpa SL Active Backpacking Shoes - Men's
Phenomenal boots so far! I haven't had them long, and I'm currently in the process of breaking them in. They don't take much break in, either. I've always been interested in the Scarpa SL, but I've never been able to commit to them until now. About 10 years ago, I bought a pair of the SL M3 boots, but had to return them because I don't fancy the feel of 2x4's strapped to the bottom of my feet. Once the SL Activ was released, I tried them too, a couple times, but could never commit because they always felt just a little too roomy and sloppy for my feet. Now, with the latest version of the boot (the SL Active), they're definitely a winner for me. Notice the difference there; Activ versus Active. That's deliberate

Simply the best

Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody - Men's
I absolutely love this piece. Can wear it with different weights of base layers to about 45F degrees before needing mid layers or shells. As it is getting colder now down to about 25F I am thinking of investing in the AR version as it has twice the insulation. Best synthetic insulation for all body types.
Perfect for Cold Conditions

Arc'teryx Proton LT Hoody - Men's
When you put this jacket on you’ll know right away warmth will not be an issue or whatever you’re doing. At the same time you’ll also feel like you won’t overheat and yet very little wind will likely creep in. If you’ve read the hype toting jackets like these as the ultimate cold layer it’s because they’re all correct. Any outdoor activity and even higher output ones like climbing and backpacking will be complimented by these perfectly engineered piece. Arcteryx you never disappoint.
Super light and warm

Rab Zero G Jacket - Men's
This Rab Zero G Down Jacket is very unique. It only weighs 11 oz. and the size L has 4.5. oz. of 1000FP RDS Goose Down. This jacket is so light it seems impossible. The 10 Denier
fabric is also lightweight, but seems to be tough. I have the large and the fit is just fine. The jacket is warm, comfortable to wear, packs down small in the included stuff sack. Unlike other reviewers I have not noticed any cold spots. Two things that might be deal breakers.

Great jacket

Arc'teryx Norvan SL Hoody - Men's
This jacket is awesome! I have a couple of rain jackets that I run in but they've always just been okay... They get the job done but they're not exactly enjoyable to run in. Most rain jackets are way too warm for running and the crinkly waterproof fabric is loud and obnoxious. This jacket isn't like that at all. It's not crinkly, it's not too warm and it's soft against your skin if you want to wear a tank top or short sleeve underneath. My previous rain jackets weren't very compactable either. This one packs down smaller than an avocado which is great for long runs or trail runs with a pack. Or, for hikers who want a super light emergency rain jacket. I recommend this jacket to anyone who lives somewhere with rainy spring weather and still wants to get outside regardless of the precipitation.
Delightfully warm

Arc'teryx Rho AR Zip Neck - Men's
I bought this as a base layer for skiing and it hasn’t let me down yet. I use it mostly on cold days, wearing this, a medium weight fleece and shell jacket. Really does the job and is super comfy. While it is certainly a bit pricey, I feel it was money well spent, especially when the wind is howling on the ski lift.
Best hiking pants

Arc'teryx Lefroy Pant - Men's
These pants are great, super lightweight and dries like a dream. My dad wears them for hiking, fishing and even just going about his every day life. They also seem pretty durable. True to size. I hope they keep making these!
