Excellent outerwear for hiking and climbing on cool, calm days, this Arc'teryx Maverick AR Jacket has a streamlined profile that easily layers beneath your skiing and mountaineering shells without jamming up your mobility with extra fabric. Like the Arc'teryx Maverick SV Jacket, this one uses a slimmed-down gusseted underarm sleeve construction to enhance your range of motion. Beneath the front zipper is a wind flap to minimize breeze penetration on blustery days, but the Maverick AR Jacket lacks the same wind resistance as the SV--although you shave at least six ounces off on the overall garment weight. This is a great technical front zip jacket for cool dry conditions and it's indispensable when paired with a waterproof shell.
Good fitted jacket!
I love the fitted shape. The sleeves are a good length. I am 5'6" and the size Large jacket is perfect on me.
great fit for women, extremely comfortable
tried a couple of fleeces before I decided on the Maverick. it was also the priciest of the lot. but given the fit (beautiful tapered cut) and the soft fleece, I think it was one of the best investments I made. the fleece exterior does NOT pile wash after wash. though not entirely windproof, its great for exercise or as a layer under a waterproof shell.
Great jacket!
Bought this for my wife. She loved the fit, warmth and comfort, but didn't like the color. The jacket has a great look for women. It is not bulky like some other fleeces. Would be great under a ski shell.
