Description

Arc'teryx: Men's Hercules Jacket (Spring 08) - Altrec.com Product Description:

A mid-weight insulator of heroic proportions, the Arc'teryx Men's Hercules Jacket features high loft shaggy fleece on the inside to capture body heat. Paired with a waterproof, breathable shell it offers warmth for the coldest ski days. The exterior is smooth and exceptionally air permeable, making the Hercules Jacket an ideal layering piece. Shells slide on easy over it and the breathability makes it an excellent choice for climbing peaks or skinning to the top of untouched powder bowls. To further protect from the elements a laminated hem drawcord keeps spindrift from blowing in and no-lift gusseted underarms keep the bottom of the jacket in place so your midriff doesn't get a shocking blast of cold air.

Double layer of fleece on collar
Two hand pockets with laminated zippers
One chest pocket with laminated zipper
Two internal pocket bags
Articulated elbows for unrestricted arm movement
No-lift gusseted underarms help to keep cold drafts out

The real McCoy. Light, versatile and deceitfully warm. I was initially concerned with this soft shell's ability to keep me toasty in extreme cold, but rest assured that this bad boy gets the job done. Its breathability also works well in warmer weather with a t-shirt underneath. I highly recommend this soft shell for anyone looking for a multi-purpose, weather resistant jacket.

The Quality and Style makes you forget the price! I brought TWO. I had never purchased Arc'teryx products until I worked with the good folks at Altrec. I first purchased the Gamma SV, which is a great jacket but not as warm. I wanted something warmer, and I was amazed that this jacket is lighter,softer yet warmer. I wore it with a long sleeve base layer in below 20 temps and was not cold. This has to be the Best Jacket Made. It is funny because all of the North Face weares just stare at this jacket. I am 5'11", 215lbs and wear a size 42R sportscoat, and this jacket fits very well in a Large. The sleeves are form fitting, so it works well with thin layers. The body of jacket is loose but still form fitting. I purchased the Cobalt and the Slate jackets. The Slate is a very nice dark blue great with jeans. This jacket fit very well under my Killy ski jacket. The price was a non-factor and I actually forgot it after I opened the package and saw the jacket. It is that good.
