ARCTERYX FISSION SV REVIEW FREE

WARRANTY: Arcteryx really backs up their products with things like free repairs or vouchers for the purchase price of the jacket. The fission is obviously even larger on my frame, though it still seams reasonable if I work the adjustments. Arc’teryx Fission SV is good only if you don’t have a problem with spending over 500 on an insulated jacket. If they fit trim like they are designed, I might stick with the medium.įor me at this point I'm a medium in arc stuff, even the trim items. It is warm, water resistant, durable, dexterous, lightweight and packable. If they fit you loose at all, then I'd think a Fission in a small would make sense. Arcteryx Fission Sv is a good ski gloves equipments for Snow Sports. I don't know the Nemis, but the rest of those items are all trim fit. However, that could be because it is expedition cut to allow for layering. I got it when I was actually a large in other Arc gear and even then the Fission was quite big on me, it felt about a half size too big. How well do the mediums fit? Others can confirm/comment here, but for me I have a fission in a large.

Has anyone compared between the three for urban wear? Thanks in advance! Beta SV is an inch longer than the AR (31 vs 30 inches, or 79 vs 76 cm). I also won't be climbing or skiing anytime soon. I'll probably never wear a helmet for work, unless I'm riding a scooter and need a helmet, so these hoods will be massive on me. I'm hoping this is the jacket that will last me the next 8 years at least. But I also thought the Macai would be good because it had everything I need but it's probably one of the most expensive ones. I also wear a waist belt with pouches from time to time so that's why I included the Alpha IS. Can you technically wear jackets made for skiing/snowboarding or climbing for urban wear? Are there technical disadvantages to this ? My concern with the Fission is the high collar because of things like: camera straps, sling bag straps. The Fission SV uses the light but extremely durable N80p-x 2 layer Gore-Tex outer shell that provides excellent waterproof protection with increased breathability. Designed to make it more comfortable, stronger and just better. I guess my question is this: I tend to wear shorter cropped jackets (bomber style) because I'm only 5'8' and long jackets usually make me look shorter. The Fission SV has been the toughest, warmest and most waterproof jacket from Arcteryx Essentials range. I've picked out these three because they have gore-tex outer shells. I am a photographer, so I travel for work: I have to be active (I run warm when I do), meaning I move around a lot on my feet or sometimes be completely still while staying outdoors. I'm still going to replace my 8 year old atom LT with a newer hoody version this time, but I'm in search for a versatile yet nimble winter jacket, something to keep me warm all the way down to 0-5 F with the use of midlayers. My atom LT + goretex shell isn't quite cutting it anymore.

I will concede that it's not the most packable jacket around, so if that is an important criteria, then 2 separate jackets like a shell + Atom AR.I have a winter jacket choice to make and I was wondering if I could get some advice from users here. It's not super crinkly, which I find annoying when walking around town. The face fabric is pretty tough, which gives me peace of mind. Haven't taken it skiing yet, but I imagine it would do fine for resort slopes. I find synthetic insulation better for regulating temp than down. For light outdoors activities, it's good for a wide range of temps - for me, around 25F-45F, rain, snow, whatever. I like it for commuting or running around town, I appreciate how it's easier to take on/off indoors or regulate temp with the dual zipper. In urban environments, it is low-key enough to wear without looking like you just went skiing or climbing, especially if you get it in a dark color way. It is warmer than I expected it to be and suitable for winters in the Northeast US. I find it remarkably lightweight for what it offers, and comfortable to wear. The Fission SV is a versatile, practical jacket that is easy to live with.
