Arc'teryx Men's Rush Jacket

Arc'teryx Men's Rush Jacket

For off piste Big Mountain riding, the Arc'teryx Men's Rush Jacket provides the features set that the uncompromising skier/boarder demands to meet the challenge. Anatomically patterned and articulated for easy layering and exceptional mobility, this waterproof, breathable jacket sports durable high abrasion protection areas over its strategically combined GORE-TEX Pro Shell 3L fabrics. Its No-lift gusseted underarms keep the jacket in place, as its helmet compatible Storm Hood with stealth hood adjusters notch up the weather blocking factor. The Rush is also decked out with an internal chest pocket, internal mesh pocket, sleeve pocket with WaterTight zip, and two hand pockets with WaterTight zippers to hold all your backcountry essentials. When overheating, pit zips allow for easy venting, along with its WaterTight Vislon front zip. If a crater landing is suspect, laminated die-cut Velcro cuff adjusters snug up, a drop back hem covers, an adjustable hem drawcord cinches, and its powder skirt with gripper elastic and snap closure blocks up drafts. If the crater is near terminal a hidden Recco reflector makes recovery manageable.

Favorite Arcteryx hardshell
I own a few other Arcteryx hard shells. And out of the ones I own this one is my favorite. "What makes this one better?" you might say. Here are the reasons; 1. Improved fit. While I still really love the other Arc shells, this years version has a different fit. It seems more form fitting and less boxy, while still allowing room underneath to add layers. I am 5 foot 10 inches, weight 235 pounds and have a 48 inch chest, and the xl fits perfect. However, if you plan to be wearing a large down or synthetic jacket underneath, you may want to go up a size. 2.The fabrics and colors are awesome. I bought the sultan's palace and the color scheme makes the jacket look absolutely great. Also, this jacket has two different fabric types, 480 NR and 410 NR(I don't know what exactly NR means). The 480 is what most of the other extreme weather Arc jackets are made from. The 410 fabric is one they don't use very much, but I absolutely love it. It feels very smooth, and is less crinkly, it almost is like a softshell fabric, I hope Arcteryx uses that fabric more in their shells. 3. I really like the feature set as well. It has a great powder skirt, hood, pockets, internal recco reflector, the whole nine yards. 4. The quality is outstanding. If your thinking about buying an Arcteryx shell, look on the inside of the jacket at the seams and the taping. It looks absolutely flawless, and attests to the quality Arcteryx puts into every one of their jackets. If your in the market for a new shell this year, consider giving the Rush jacket a try, you'll love it.
