Arc'teryx's top of the line riding shell in gray with dark gray insert panels in XL. Classic sidewinder waterproof zipper, high neck, waterproof pit zips, 2 waterproof zip pockets, plus interior pocket, snow skirt, waist cinch cords, welded velcro cuffs, see through upper left sleeve radio/pass pocket. 3L Goretex = utterly bombproof protection.

NOTE: It does not have a hood - Arc went through a bunch of iterations of this jacket, some with hoods, some without, some with hoods that went in the collar etc. before landing with the current "storm hood" configuration. I ride with a helmet and went hoodless.

Sizing notes: If you know anything about Arc'teryx, its that they favor an "athletic" (read "really" slim for outerwear) cut on their jackets. This is no different. I am a slim 44/EU in tailored clothes and a "large" in everything else. I tried on the L and it fit as long as i didn't want to layer underneath so I sized up. If you google around and read the reviews on this jacket you will see that it is a common move.

Legendary jacket at a killer price - these things are $600+ new! Only selling because I switched to soft shells a few years ago and this isn't getting any action - $150 shipped CONUS
