Arc’teryx Rush LT Jacket Review

Extraordinarily lightweight, the Arc’teryx Rush LT Jacket is a breathable, packable and rugged GORE-TEX Pro backcountry jacket, the lightest shell in Arc’teryx’s Whiteline collection.

The Rush LT Jacket is designed to meet the demands of the backcountry – light, durable, and featured for long uptracks and aggressive descents. The minimalist design keeps its weight at scant 405 grams, but the Rush LT still provides GORE-TEX Pro protection and is built to withstand the rigours of rugged backcountry terrain.

The helmet compatible StormHood™ gives full head protection and easily adjusts for a secure fit with outstanding freedom of movement and peripheral vision. External pockets are easily accessible while wearing a pack and WaterTight™ pit zippers are angled for easy access. Intuitive Cohaesive® hood and hem adjusters are exceptionally easy to use, even while wearing heavy winter gloves.

It’s the perfect jacket for deep powder adventures, hardcore descents and long days on the mountain; light, durable, breathable protection from the elements on the mountain and with a minimalist design that does not slow you down. This backcountry jacket is the ultimate in lightweight, breathable and packable.

RRP: £550
