Arc'teryx Men's Kappa SV Hoody
Because as an outdoor enthusiast, you won't let winter weather, freezing days or howling winds get in the way of your backcountry adventure, summit bid or a big powder day on the hill, Arcteryx designed the Kappa SV Hoody for Men, an insulated, windproof jacket that was build for active pursuits in frigid temperatures. Breathable, windproof, and highly water resistant, thanks to GORE WINDSTOPPER and insulated with thick Primaloft Sport, trapping heat inside, you will stay warm and comfortable in the Kappa SV, and because it is built with joint articulation, you don't have to sacrifice mobility or range of motion for this all weather protection.

Great/warm jacket
I'm very happy with this jacket but I must say that I would not pay full price for it. I got mine fro $315 + tax on Altrec, although the prices seems to have gone up within the last week (back to $450). As fit goes, I'm 6'3" 180 pounds about, a slim but tall guy, and I wear a medium. In order to better layer I may trade it in for a large, I'd like to wear my R4 underneath it but this makes the jacket feel a bit constrictive when worn. The jacket's not bulky at all and fits like a glove, it's just that this fit doesn't allow for layering in my case. Overall I've found the jacket to be quite warm and very comfortable. The "Made in China" label is a bit strange to read on an Arc'teryx jacket and I feel should warrant a lower price, hence my suggestion not to buy at retail but rather to wait for a sale price. Regardless, the jacket has performed well thus far and is very comfortable, the copper color looks sharp on top of it all.
