@farrarc0 – As a rugby player, mixed martial artist, and avid backpacker I could use a jacket like this! My University sits on top of a 10,000 acre plateau, and with the unpredictable weather we have, this jacket would be an excellent add on to my gear.

@jaymayy
Seeing as how I am about to take on the world in a grand adventure, this jacket would be more than useful for me. When traveling the world on a whim you kind of need to have something to keep you safe from the weather.
So. I think I would like a women’s medium if you will.
Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to take pictures while I’m in Mexico, Egypt, Russia, and all those other places bound to make friends jealous.

@Kathy_SixEight – I love these Arc’teryx jackets (and their shorts, too!). They’re great to use when we’re trail hiking in the mountains. They fold up small, so you can have them to hand if you run into one of those infamous afternoon showers that pop up around here in the summer!
