Best Arc’teryx Hardshell Jackets

There are many choices for him and her, with different features, materials, and a coded naming system that needs explaining.

What’s a Hardshell Jacket?

These rugged waterproof shell jackets repel the worst weather and keep you dry and comfortable. For Arc’teryx jackets they’re hooded and made from thickly-woven GORE-TEX. It’s an outermost layer, breathable, and shelters you from the storm. Layer them over an insulator and stay warm all winter. Wear it standalone with good hiking boots or hiking shoes and hit the trails in comfort.

Arc’teryx Naming Conventions

We’ll only deal with four abbreviations from Arc’teryx. SV stands for Severe Weather protection. AR gives All Round versatile protection. LT is a Lightweight, minimal design, while SL is a Superlight packability piece. Check the link for more about the Arc’teryx naming system.
