 Is they um? They make products that actually don't look out of place kind of walking around the high street, and you know i'd use this not just for kind of walking in the hills and the mountains. I do work, wear it as a an everyday piece. Okay, so i'll just tell you a little bit around how the jacket fits. Give you an idea of my kind of dimension, some five foot, five about nine and a half stone, and this is a size, small um and it's part of arc

 So i i think personally, i could probably uh fit a you know a reasonable, mid layer under here, quite a thick fleece or a lightweight down jacket. Um. So just bear that in mind when you're picking your own size. As i say, you probably have got a little bit more room under here than you realise, so if you you're in between sizes i'll probably size down rather than size up, as i say, you know size small for me, i think that i don't think they're doing Extra small in this and in the arms and everything it fits fine, okay, so just to summarize them so um

 Um keeps you quite comfortable inside, so you don't have to keep taking it off and taking it on all the time, and also i quite like how it's something that you can just wear every day. One thing that architects do really well with their products. Is they um?

You know i'd personally highly recommend this jacket. I'Ve had it um over three months now still looks in absolutely fantastic condition: um as you'd expect from an arc terex product

Arcteryx Squamish Hoody Review

 Is, it is a two way mechanical stretch on it, so that helps with you know the comfort of a jacket and making sure it doesn't bind on you in terms of performance. The jacket is more breathable than the patagonia Houdini, which would you view that previous test video that was the most air permeable or breathable at the bottom. So this sets the new benchmark. I'M gon na be layering up underneath this, so you know I shall there are trade-offs with that

 It'S a heavier weight fabric than the other wind jackets. We tested the interesting thing to point out on this fabric.

The jacket is more breathable than the patagonia Houdini, which would you view that previous test video that was the most air permeable or breathable at the bottom

 I put it through our air permeability or breathability test. Also, our hydrostatic head test for water resistance and I also tested the wind resistance I'll share those performance results with you later for right now, let's start off by talking about the fit and the features of this jacket for fit, I'm wearing a size large, I'm a Little over six foot tall 175 pounds, I have a 42 inch chest and a 33 inch waist. There is plenty of room in this jacket. It is cut large enough for me to easily layer underneath it underneath it right now I have a Patagonia r3 I'll

Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody Review

 As we say in canada, it's got a nice brim and it cinches very well in the back, so you can get a really nice snug fit and the hood is not going to go anywhere if a tube or beanie doesn't suit your fancy. It goes well over a ball cap as well, so i have my running cap underneath this again. The brim sits well on top of the hat brim and it is not going anywhere and i've been in gusts of wind on top of mountains that are easily pushing 70 kilometers an hour, and it has not gone anywhere myself. On the other hand, i've almost got blown off the top of the mountain a couple of times, but hey price you pay for uh, going over 3000 meters in alberta, our carrix uses a 30 denier fabric on the coat they have their own special name for it

ARC’TERYX SQUAMISH JACKET //  LONG TERM REVIEW

 I am six feet tall roughly 160 to 165 pounds, and i went with a large in this jacket arm length more than enough, but i bought this jacket in a size large so that i could put it over wait for the reveal my running pack in case. I need a windshell over top of my running pack, because i want to keep out the very light rain that it will resist, but it will keep that light rain off my running pack. I went up to a size large with this jacket for that purpose, specifically. In addition, i went with the size large because i want to be able to fit thicker layers underneath it currently i'm in just a t-shirt

 At all times, all times of the year as a wind protection, an extra layer for hiking specifically, but i also put in my backpack my running trail backpack as an extra wind jacket. I already have a running wind jacket that i use, but i'm going to put this in my pack at all times as an extra wind jacket, not only that i'm no fashion expert, but this is a nice enough jacket to wear around town and it's extremely comfortable. Breezed really well, as i mentioned before, especially when you're doing light output activities, if i'm taking my dog for a walk or i'm going for a walk around the neighborhood. Definitely going to put this jacket on well done: arcturix, another fantastic product, two very enthusiastic thumbs up from this guy; that's it for now dog walker fans

The Outdoor Research Ferrosi Hoodie is a fantastic value. It ticks nearly every box that a durable wind layer for climbing or hiking should. It is lightweight, wind-resistant, breathable, abrasion-resistant, and highly stretchy. It has great features for the price &mdash; including a pocket that doubles as a stuff sack, so you can clip your jacket to your harness when not in use. It moves incredibly well, owing to the ultra-stretchy fabric, and even though it isn't very water-resistant, it is among the fastest drying active softshells in our review. It even has UPF-50 fabric to protect your skin from the sun. Add to all of this the fact that it is a very affordable jacket, and it is no wonder why this jacket is the staple softshell for most outdoor adventure nerds.
Our reviews wouldn't be objective if we ignored a product's flaws, and the Ferrosi is not without its minor caveats. Compared to other softshells, it has below-average water resistance, but it does dry quickly and offers great 3-season protection. The fit is a little on the boxy side, so if you're between sizes, you might consider sizing down. We also wish that the hand pockets were accessible while wearing a harness or the hip belt of a backpack. All these concerns aside, the Ferrosi is a great breathable, wind-resistant option at a fantastic price for hiking, climbing, and cycling.

The Outdoor Research Echo Hoodie has some unique features that make it an excellent addition for any activewear junkie. First, this lightweight sun top has switched from the fold-over cuffs of old to well-designed thumbholes that are comfortable to wear, even when on the move. Secondly, the Echo has a hole in its hood for your ponytail. Though this isn't the most stylish look, it certainly is very functional. Beyond these two unique features, this hoody is absurdly lightweight and impressively breathable. It is one of only a couple of shirts we tested that we could comfortably wear in the hot sun without pushing up the sleeves &mdash; precisely why it's great for days when you're pushing hard or in more intense heat. 
For all its other utilities, the Echo lacks pockets and has the lowest UPF value of any sun shirt we tested; just 20 for dark colors and only 15 for light colors. Most others are 35-50+, so this is underwhelming. And while we adore the breathability of this thin, quick-drying fabric, it's not particularly smooth, and we've had repeated issues with snagging in past versions. Though this current version didn't snag during our testing, it's made of the same fabric, so we expect the same to occur. Still, while the Echo may not continue to look pristine through the years, the quirky traits this top brings to the table make it super useful &mdash; and we love the bold colors it comes in too.

The Outdoor Research Carbide shines in its extremely breathable and comfortable shell material. The 3L Pertex shield material is one of the most breathable and comfortable materials we've worked with. The DWR coating of this material is also convincing, providing excellent weather protection for its weight. Combine all of this with ski-specific features to take you from the resort to the backcountry, and you have a stellar value for an excellent price. 
While this stretchy 3L provides excellent breathability and water resistance, we did feel the more biting winds permeate this thin material. This more backcountry-oriented shell is so thin that we have some questions about how it will hold up to the test of time, but after over a month of use, we have no reason to believe it will perform poorly. If we had just one wish for this jacket, it would be that the powder skirt was removable. This upgrade would knock this jacket out of the park. These small criticisms aside, we believe the Carbide performs similarly to many high-end shells on the market at a fraction of the price. 

The Outdoor Research Aspire continues to impress us. It scores high marks across the board; from water resistance to breathability, it comes fully equipped with all the bells and whistles. It's an impressive contender, proudly sporting a smooth, soft fabric and flattering fit. The substantial Gore-Tex, Paclite integrated fabric design will withstand and keep you protected from even the heaviest of downpours. It comes fully featured with reinforced, sealed seams and water-resistant zippers. It also sports an adjustable hood, hip cinches, and both elastic and Velcro to seal around your wrists to keep you protected in inclement weather. Being so watertight might sound awfully stuffy, but don't be fooled; the pit vents extend the full length of this jacket and can be fully opened either from the top or poncho-style from the bottom for a quick and easy way to shed excess body heat &mdash; and are surprisingly comfortable. When it comes to balancing protection and performance, the designers have covered their bases, with the Aspire earning our highest accolades for its design, fit, and performance.
Weighing 11.4 ounces, the Aspire is one of the heavier jackets we tested. Considering all the extra zipper length on the full-length side vents as well as the waterproof, dual-direction main zipper, we think this weight is justifiable. It also packs down into its own pocket, complete with a clip for easy attachment to your harness or pack. For an impressive merging of wind and water protection with serious breathability, look no further.

 So some basic design features on how the fro Z was put together. You can see the two different two different colors here, and that is kind of setup is two different types of fabric. The body of this piece in the darker color across the back is extremely breathable. So if you're wearing a pack against this you're going to get a lot of moisture, vapor passing through you're, not going to have that same feeling, you get under a hard shell, where you're wearing a packer just sweating like crazy

 Maybe somebody who's doing some cross-country. Skiing and warmer weather somebody who's doing a lot of rock climbing, and I think, I'm just for general hiking and backpacking to be very comfortable piece to wear under a pack.

Outdoor Research Women's Ferrosi Hoody

 It is a wonderful weight, not too heavy, but not so light that it isn't helpful. The sleeve length works really well for me so it's comfortable using the thumb holes or not. It's got the right amount of stretch to be comfortable worn inside as a hoodie, or outside as a wind, water and abrasion resistant light jacket. I'm 5'7", 140# with and athletic build and often struggle to find a good fit because of broad shoulders, but the small fits me well

Even better than expected

 My only complaint is that the XS is pretty big on my 5'1, 98 lb frame (it looks like I'm wearing somebody else's jacket). I kept the jacket anyway because it's useful and fills a necessary hole in my jacket lineup--perfect for the windy days we get in Colorado.

Great, just a little big

This is my all-time favourite jacket for field work in the summer months (I am a biologist). It is very durable! I have to pass through barbed wire fences and bushwhack through the forest so my field work clothes get trashed - this is the first jacket I have owned that has not been a victim to fences and the forest! I have gotten it caught on the barbed wire fences and forest branches many times but have not had a hole yet - only snags. It it not completely waterproof, but if you got stuck in a light rain and quickly hike back to the truck, you are not soaking wet. This jacket is also very light weight which I love - perfect for when the bugs are bad on a hot summer day

My all-time favourite jacket!

 Working I'm inside outside back and forth all day long. Rain takes a long time to soak through, they dry instantly, and they move with me. A light puffy fits underneath when the temps drop. I run in them with a light base layer in western Washington winters

Now this dark blue material on the arms on the shoulders and the hood

 You'Ve got a full length zipper down at the bottom. You do have a stretchy draw cord that comes out to one side, so you can cinch that down. If you need to kind of hold in the heat a little bit more, you've got two hand, level pockets and one side of the pocket does have a loop on the inside. You can hang that from a harness or hang that from a back and that pocket turns inside out and the jacket actually stuffs into that pocket so nice hand level hand warmer pockets there

 If you're climbing it's gon na, come in contact with brush if you're wearing a backpack, you got backpack straps on there, so you really need durability in those areas, and this piece is durable. There it's going to last a long time going through the features here. You'Ve got a full length zipper down at the bottom. You do have a stretchy draw cord that comes out to one side, so you can cinch that down

 So as you're moving and you're building up heat, this material is going to breathe a little bit better. It'S a ripstop nylon with spandex in it as well, so you have full mobility with this jacket. It stretches in every direction.

 So you can warm your hands in there or the jacket actually stuffs down into one of these pockets, and there is a key clip on the inside. The pockets here are actually mesh on the inside. So if you open them up, you actually have an extra vent. So, if you're really moving fat and want to dump some extra heat open, those pockets have another chest pocket and that's great for something small like a chapstick

 So it's the perfect piece to almost wear year-round. The features here are really simple: you have a full length zipper and down at the hem. You have a stretchy draw cord that comes out to one side. The hem is dropped in the back, so if you're wearing a harness or a backpack with the hip belt, it's not going to ride up on you two hand level pockets
