Jackets by Arcteryx are known for their quality, workmanship and style. You don’t want to mess with mother nature so be prepared for any type of weather with a jacket that will keep you warm and dry. The fit and attention to details on their rain jackets is some of the best in the business.
In Colorado’s high country you can run into sun, rain, snow or sleet all within a single day. It can happen in a matter of minutes. It’s really crazy! Having a jacket that will keep you protected from all of these elements can be the most important piece of gear you’ll ever carry in your pack. Well, next to water anyway.
You may start out a hike at a sunny 50 degrees without a cloud in sight and end up a couple thousand feet up the mountain with sleet or snow. Don’t ruin your day by getting cold and wet. Pack your Arcteryx jacket and keep on trekking.
If you’ve ever read anything about how to dress for hiking in Colorado you know that layering is the key to success. Hypothermia can happen even in the middle of summer.
Starting off with a good base layer that wicks sweat away and adding an insulating layer followed by a protective layer is the standard for staying comfortable. Your Arcteryx jacket is the protective outer layer and it needs to keep you dry without causing you to sweat.
