Description denali jackets of Arcteryx Fission AR JacketThe Arcteryx Fission AR jacket?s Gore-Tex 2L Pro Shell is fully taped with Gore-Seam tape and filled with PrimaLoft insulation to cut frigid conditions to pieces. Designed for alpine climbing.We've found that good clothing can make or break a camping/hiking/skiing trip. The layering system works well when you use the right materials. For the base, a good set of wicking polyester or polypropylene underwear or sports shirt. For the middle insulating down jackets layer, fleece works well. For sitting around, Polartec 200 or 300, or for working hard Polartec 100. For the outer shell we both have 3 Ply GoreTex XCR jackets. Paul has the Arc'Teryx Theta AR while Helen has a Mountain Hardwear Ethereal FTX. These are light, waterproof, windproof, breathable and you guessed it, expensive. However they are good for all year round, and are just as usable in the city as out on the trails. You'll appreciate moncler discount them when you are out in bad weather and they are keeping you dry. We also both have Mec Windstopper fleece jackets that are light and keep out the wind.For backpacks we use Arcteryx Bora 65 packs(65L). This pack has a seperate compartment in the bottom for sleeping bag and /or tent which we find to be useful. The top lid also detaches to become a fanny pack or waist pouch. When we are day hiking our lids hold the camera, binoculars, water bladders, filter, food, first aid kit, and moncler jackets when not in use we strap our GorTex jackets and hiking poles to the outside. This works well as we don't get sweaty backs from carrying a small backpack. The side pockets are elasticized and are great for holding tent poles, hiking poles, water bottles, or even snorkeling fins. The long, zippered front pouch works well for holding wet stuff and has a drain hole at the bottom. I also tried the Bora 95 and 80 but found them to be too big for our needs. The Bora 65 has all of the features in the smallest/lightest package. If you pack smartly you should have no problem fitting enough stuff for a four day backpacking trip. This assumes north face denali two person hiking were you can share stuff. If you hike solo then a bigger pack may be needed. A couple of MEC pack covers keep things dry in the rain. Our packs are well used and have been around the world with us and have given us zero problems. Well done Arcteryx! Be aware that the hip belts come in mens and womens so make sure you get it fitted properly.When you're looking to do some tough climbing in soggy conditions, it's time to beef up your protection from the north face jackets elements with the Alpha SL Jacket from ARCTERYX.

Even if the sun is baking the pavement in the parking lot, don't let that stop you from taking a jacket.      wwl
