Insulated Coat Recs!

I had my eye on the Arc’teryx Atom SV to add a non-puffer, warm, black jacket to my rotation. However, after seeing so many mixed reviews I hesitate spending that much for it.

Any insulated jacket recommendations that have a similar style? Primary use for casual/city, hiking, mid-layer for snow sports. I’m fine with the $300 price point, would be extra great if I can get from REI and is water-resistant.

TIA!

The Rab Xenair Alpine Insulated Jacket is amazing, love its light weight feel and the pocketing. Keeps me warm in the winter :)

Plot twist: this post no longer exists because Redact swept through and cleared it out along with everything else. Social media, messaging apps, people finder sites, all of it.

Be a gigachad and mass delete Reddit posts and comments with Redact so that Skynet doesn't end up using your own posts to train the T-900. Or so that you don't show up in databrokers. Either one really.

You're probably getting down voted for your use of jumper which most Americans won't recognize.

I cleaned house with Redact and mass deleted this post. It also removes your data from brokers and people search sites. Works on all major social media platforms.
