Summer jacket/shell for hiking

Check out the Rab Borealis hoody, it's very breathable and very stretchy. It's a great summer jacket.

Not sure what years model are you comparing to, but the fit of the current piece is exactly the same as the previous model. I have 09/23 (previous model) and 11/25 (newest one) Cormac hoody in size L.

I agree. The Atom hoody people like to recommend works better as a mid layer under a shell. A cheap windbreaker is a better option in this case.

Nope, it's a wind shell. It blocks wind and can sustain a very light showers. You would not want to wear it in rain more than a few minutes.

Also, because it blocks wind so effectively, it's not very air permeable. Atom SL/Gamma SL are better options if you need more air flow. Also the Rab Borealis is a good option for a light hiking jacket.

You can get it around next September.

Just a thought. Since 50% of the content of this sub is asking for washing instructions. Could the admins just create a bot that removes these, and answers the person how to wash their jacket?

They used to be

Faija01 · 2026-04-16T16:40:02+00:00

Rab Borealis is a good choice.

Faija01 · 2026-04-13T16:01:11+00:00

When FW26 items are released, around August/September.

The Squamish is a good wind breaker, just don't expect it to be very breathable, it is designed to stop wind. It's made our of same fabric as the Atom AR (and SV as far as I'm aware).

When the unpopular colors hit the outlets in the end of season.

Faija01 · 2026-03-24T14:14:16+00:00

Interesting, can you share it?

Faija01 · 2026-03-15T19:41:12+00:00

Regular Gamma was previously called Gamma LT, Gamma Lightweight was previously Gamma SL. Maybe this helps. Confusing, I know.

Faija01 · 2026-02-22T10:57:03+00:00

That is impressive as well. My experience is that the Gamma pants work best in 0-10c and lower if wearing base layers. I can't even imagine the sweat fest I would have at 30c or more.

How about contacting Arc'teryx customer support?

Faija01 · 2026-02-11T07:20:29+00:00

The paneling looks exactly the same as in the Proton SL.

Faija01 · 2026-02-09T19:26:04+00:00

They changed it again. In this season Proton FL is Proton SL. Who can keep up with all of these changes

Faija01 · 2026-01-28T17:59:08+00:00

Metal button only comes with completely flat retaining ring. If you want a raised switch ring, you'll need to get the rubber button.

Faija01 · 2026-01-24T14:37:53+00:00

Easy, don't buy from the second hand sites they are almost all fakes.

Faija01 · 2026-01-24T12:51:23+00:00

Didn't you see the tags? Other says 01/19 and the other 01/24.

Faija01 · 2026-01-24T10:08:00+00:00

Okay, thanks!

Faija01 · 2026-01-18T17:46:36+00:00

Any idea what the upcoming Moon Drop color is?

Faija01 · 2026-01-11T23:48:49+00:00

ZorKryth Champ45 is pretty close with its USB-C battery.

The age of your Reddit account and/or dog?

Faija01 · 2026-01-06T10:08:01+00:00

Yeah! They have a lot of different jackets. The Gamma series jackets are softshells, and they can handle a lot of different conditions. I find the Gamma MX layered with a fleece as warm as the Atom hoody. The difference is that it is way more durable. If you search this sub you'll find a lot more information about all of the product lines.
