I would use the Arc’teryx celeris jacket when I’m training for miscellaneous inline marathons that I’m currently training for. The jacket would especially work well when I’m skating in the rain, as I dislike having to wear more heavy duty/ industrial jackets.

If I’m lucky enough to win this awesome jacket, there isn’t much I wouldn’t use it for. Lakefront biking here in Chicago in a torrential downpour? Trail running in the rain back home in East Tennessee? Late season skiing in Colorado? Packing it for protection from the elements while traveling worldwide? All of the above and more.
That jacket would be my new best friend.

My ladies’ Celeris would be a perfect complement to my indispensable Arc’Teryx Theta AR when we go backcountry camping in the Canadian Rockies — next week Crypt lake in Waterton, our favourite park. And, eventually, our climb up Mt. Kenya.
