hey Chris, I appreciate your wealth of knowledge so many jackets to cover - is it possible to have time tags? it would help having markers to go back & forth as you talk about specific models
Was a backpacking and mountaineering gear tester for decades. Think sometimes people use products outside of its intended purpose and when the product doesn't deliver the results they seek they blame the product when it was actually user error. My Alpha SV is great in precip but would be horrible in a mid summer deluge.
I can see your point, the Alpha SV is a great jacket, but was built with a specific purpose in mind. I use a beta LT in a size down as my summer rain jacket. I sized down because I wear it with just a tee shirt during the summer, a don't need it to be larger to fit over insulation layers.
@@meandmyjackets I have other various shells for various weather conditions. Westcomb, a bunch of deadbird stuff, OR, Norrona, blah blah blah. The whole different tools for different jobs approach.
Just wash things as needed. No harm in washing, Just use the right detergent, and get a DWR spray to keep your pieces like new. See my video on washing your gear, it shows how to wash, and always follow the directions for each of your jackets.
In addition to obviously fixing the occasional focus issues, please try to cut out the constant use of “okay’s,” “alright’s” and “um’s.” They make it very difficult to watch.
Wow. He is providing a lot of information covering everything Arc’teryx. He’s even standing in the pouring rain. You need to chill. Not like you’re having to pay for all of this free content.
I watch this channel before every Arc'teryx purchase. Super thankful for Chris and the work he does
Thank you for your support!

It would be great if you could provide an update on the Sawyer as it was the results I was most looking forward to. Very informative.

Great video. Really gave a great insight to water resistance of the jackets.
Thank You, I hope that it helped you!
Thank you for the experiment...hope you didn't catch a pneumonia 🙏🙏🙏
Very informative! How often would you wash your gear if you wore it everyday for work/school?
Just wash things as needed. No harm in washing, Just use the right detergent, and get a DWR spray to keep your pieces like new. See my video on washing your gear, it shows how to wash, and always follow the directions for each of your jackets.
@@meandmyjackets Thank you! I've watched lots of your videos and have bought a handful of articles thanks to you!
Keep making videos!
Thanks for testing
Thanks for these tests! Really appreciate it! Would be cool to also know which jacket keeps you the warmest in the different temperatures!
Ok, I'll work on that! Thank you for your input! 🙂
Great watch , thank you.
Is the outside the same on all Atom models? Is the outside of Squamish the same as Atom?
The Atom SL and LT are the same, The Atom AR is a Heavier material. The squamish is more like a nylon . very lightweight.
what do you think about arc’teryx squamish ?
It's a simple jacket, just a super light nylon shell. Great for blocking the wind. I do have a video on that jacket here on my channel.
time stamps pls
