The Squamish Hoody by Arc’teryx is something of a modern classic in the lightweight jacket sphere.Technically speaking, it’s designed as a windshell midlayer that goes underneath more substantial outer layers. That said, it functions perfectly well as a standalone jacket on breezy spring/summer days and evenings. As it weighs next to nothing and packs down into a tiny bundle, you can just keep it stowed in your bag.Constructed with a robust nylon called Tyono 30, you’ll find that the Squamish’s strength defies its weight – not only in wind-resistance but also in durability and anti-abrasion. And of course, it’s fully breathable, allowing moisture to escape and thereby regulate your body temperature, even during high-intensity activities. Slim fit, yet unrestricted mobility thanks to the fabric’s stretch DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish Adjustable StormHood with soft brim Gusseted underarms for maximised mobility Snug, partly elasticated cuffs Adjustable hem Single zippered pocket on the left chest Packs away into its own pocket – super-compact Our model is 6ft tall, with a 38" chest, and wears a size Medium.Prefer brighter colours?
