This is the best jacket ive ever had, it keeps me warm during the winter and if it gets wet it dries in less than 5 minutes. It's also very durable and great for skiing. A mus…

I bought this jacket in hope that it would work as a winter jacket combined with a thick sweater beneath and possibly a windproof layer for windy days. I went biking to wor…

The fit of the jacket is awesome slim but not to slim, 5"10 142 pounds, small fits perfect. The micro blue color is way cooler than the pic gives it credit for. The quality o…

Indeed, this thing sheds off rain likes it's its business! My only problem is with the placement of the pockets--not exactly good for storing your hands, but not bad for stori…

I've had the strato for a little while and it seems to be larger around the mid section than other arcteryx clothing. I'm 6'2 and 170lbs and I have a few arcteryx items that…

I am 5'9" 182 lbs and usually wear a large. I might have been able to go with a medium here due to the "regular" cut of this jacket - "regular" at Patagonia sometimes means a…

Even though this is a thin jacket that does well in the wind(windstopper fabric), the sewing on this jacket is terrible. Arc'teryx should stick with Canada made.…

This thing is a great raincoat. It doesn't offer the kind of abrasion protection that GoreTex does but then again it doesn't cost nearly as much as GoreTex either. Add in th…

What's not to like? It's a North Face, it's toasty warm, and it looks good. If you're looking for a warm jacket, this is it. The 700 fill down literally wraps itself around yo…
