Arc'teryx Men's Hercules Jacket (Spring 08)
A mid-weight insulator of heroic proportions, the Arc'teryx Men's Hercules Jacket features high loft shaggy fleece on the inside to capture body heat. Paired with a waterproof, breathable shell it offers warmth for the coldest ski days. The exterior is smooth and exceptionally air permeable, making the Hercules Jacket an ideal layering piece. Shells slide on easy over it and the breathability makes it an excellent choice for climbing peaks or skinning to the top of untouched powder bowls. To further protect from the elements a laminated hem drawcord keeps spindrift from blowing in and no-lift gusseted underarms keep the bottom of the jacket in place so your midriff doesn't get a shocking blast of cold air.

Warm but not as athetic fitting
Jacket is great. Pretty warm, but not as athletic fitting as I had anticipated. It repels light rain fairly well and protects against the wind. It matches well with the ArcTeryx Gore-Tex shell I have to provide true rain protection. Overall, liked it, especially with the discount.

The ABSOLUTELY most Versatile Fleece I have ever owned!!!
This is my favorite fleece jacket for a number of reasons: it is a jack-of-all-trades fleece that performs very well under a number of applications: 1.- Layering: it is very warm by itself, but there is enough room to put stuff underneath if you need to without making you feel stuffed. And you can put a shell on top if it gets nasty out there. 2. Cut: as you can deduce form my previous comment, it is not quite trim, but it is not baggy either. I am 5'10" and 169 lb, and the front length is below the belt (perfect) and the back is about the middle of my rear, my Hercules is a Medium. So it is not too short and not too long. My Alpha LT shell totally covers this fleece. 3. Although not technically windproof, it still has GREAT wind resistance, and although not technically waterproof, the DWR finish makes it rain proof unless you are standing under a waterfall. The seams are not taped, but it will keep you dry in light/moderate rain unless you are out for a couple of hours. A bit expensive but worth the money. NOTICE ABOUT THE COLOR: I hesitated to order the gray (slate) since I wanted black but this jacket is not made in black. I was gladly surprised to open the bag to find a very dark gray, significantly darker than what the photos show. It looks VERY nice, specially with jeans.

As advertised
Typical Arcteryx. A surprisingly wide range of temperatures in which this jacket is comfortable.
