Arc'teryx Squamish

So how do I sum up the Arc'teryx Squamish Put a jacket I Believe this jacket targets more of an alpinist because of the helmet compatible hood and the...

It's got a tiny little piece of wire that gives it a little bit of form here, keeps it off your forehead. This is my favorite all-around jacket that I...

This retails for 200 Canadian Paid for it with my own money. but you get what you pay for.

For example, I use my wind jacket (Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody) in the winter because blue skies usually mean at least -15C where I live. There the wind jacket is great because it breathes much better than my rain jacket when I'm skiing, running, etc.

I wear the Arc'teryx Squamish more than any rain jacket despite being in the PNW. I would recommend something more durable and practical for a first rain jacket though. The Helium is great on Lighterpack, but you will for sure destroy it this is your first time camping. I would also add if this is your first time camping Ultralight is not a great place to start.

This is why items like the Squamish, kor preshell, bd alpine Start etc are so popular, they are sufficiently durable and dry in a fraction of the time. They act very well in the wind and rain. But if wearing an item like a R1 or delta MX they don't act quite right, don't get me wrong, they work but I have found that material like the Delta lt micro grid pile do a substantially better job at presentation of moisture to windshells, allowing them to properly allow it out.

I like the fabric and breathability but I am returning it because of the fit. What other Arc jackets fit like the new Squamish? I am still looking for a more breathable jacket for running or high output hikes.
