Arc'teryx Fission AR Jacket Review:
Reviews:
Warm as hell
I chose this version because it has a hood but it stows so it's not flopping around everywhere like some other jackets I have. It's like a warm blanket and is long enough to cover my rear end. It doesn't have a chest pocket to put my phone in, but that is a small consolation compared to the other benefits (Gore Tex Pro, great fit, warmth, etc). Buy it. Now.
