The Men's AR Jacket is a synthetic insulated mid layer jacket, designed to be worn either as an outer layer in cold, dry conditions or as a mid layer in cold, wet conditions. Significantly warmer and more protective than a fleece jacket, the Men's AR Jacket is insulated and breathable enough to be used as a super warm mid−layer on frigid days and protective enough to be an outer layer while belaying or hanging out at camp. An extra thick dose of synthetic Coreloft insulates but packs small.
Developed by Arc'teryx, Coreloft is a synthetic insulation made of staple fibers in mixed sizes that are crimped to trap air and retain warmth.

Approx. weight: 420 g / 14.8 oz
Materials:
Coreloft 80 (80 g/m²) insulation. Made with highly crimped multi−denier siliconized polyester yarn, this lightweight, breathable, and thermally efficient, 100% polyester staple fiber it is very compressible and has excellent loft retention.
Gossamera 100% Nylon ripstop fabric with water repellant coating
In the cuff area where the stretchy material is joined with the Tyono denier in a delta-/triangular-shape, the stitching was either sloppy or simply defective, which resulted in the sleeve cuffs being bumpy with some excess material protruding!
When you get a garment like this you don't want to even dare imagine what will happen while climbing a difficult wall or reaching for an ice screw on your harness. With bumpy sleeves due to manufacturing blunders like this, snagging or catching onto something is easily possible. Admittedly, the area and the materials are perhaps difficult to control during the stitching process, but at this price tag I think one is entitled to expect more from Arc'teryx.
A better alternative: Rab XENON, equally warm and light and which compresses into its own pocket!
On a final note: Barrabes is taking over 10 days to issue a refund to a Paypal account, which is clearly a reason not buy here again.
