Arc’teryx alternative
I considered a new Arc’teryx delta jacket but the fabric felt very plastic- like . Chose Rab Tecton jacket and happy with my decision . It is very light ,two hand and one chest pocket , fabric feels like "proper fleece " And is deceptively warm for its light design. But any wind will cut through it without mercy . No surprise there . I’m 187 pounds ,5’10" and tried L and M sizes . Decided for M that is good fit for t-shirt under but no layering. L would have too long sleeves . Rab offers top quality craftsmanship. On its own looks good ( teal colour) and fits under a windbreaker shell making it good for a quick hike or urban adventure . Altitude Sports sale plus membership discount made my purchase a steal ,it total half price of delta jacket. Nothing to dislike
