Description of Arc'teryx Seeker Comp Softshell Jacket - Men's:
|
In the Arc'teryx Men's Seeker Comp Jacket, hard- and softshell materials join forces to fight the good fight—for warmth and comfort in the backcountry. PTFE fabric at the shoulders, hood, and hem and a DWR finish throughout provide waterproof breathable protection to ward off heavy snowfall. Meanwhile, Consoltex S3 Lite softshell material around the core gives you breathability and comfort when you're skinning up. Strip your skins, stash them in the large internal pocket, pull up the helmet-compatible hood, and let the power skirt keep out the fluffy stuff while you make turns. A RECCO reflector will help keep you safe at resorts that have compatible equipment. *Available for US shipment only.
|
|
Bottom Line: A hardshell/softshell hybrid that keeps you cool on the way up and dry on the way down.

| Seeker Comp city review: Helsinki, FINLAND 10-22-06 |
| Alain (11): |
| Hello Gearheads!! I got my Seeker Comp on October 20th - a cold, windy & rainy day here in Helsinki. Like the Gamma MX no water got through what so ever. I really like the Sidewinder zip and how it covers my chin with space for a neck gaiter. I didn't feel any wind or any dampness... I was wearing a t-shirt and a sweat jacket under the Seeker Comp. The temperature was 5C, but it felt like -1C with the wind chill. My body temperature was just right - no overheating or cooling whatsoever. The next day the rain and wind were more intense. I wore Arc’teryx Ether Crew SS and Patagonia R1 Pullover under the Seeker Comp. Once again I was very comfortable and didn't overheat. The wind chill factor was at -2C, and the rain was coming down at a steady clip. The Seeker Comp does breathe very well... like the Gamma MX. Arc’teryx says the jacket is made for the backcountry. I think if you layer properly, it will be great inbounds as well. The RX (prescription) would be a) your base layer and b) a mid layer like Patagonia R2 or Arc’teryx RHO Top for cold winter days. You would use a mid layer like Patagonia R1 or microfleece on a warm spring day. I love this jacket already! I can't wait to ski with it. I will post an on slope review after I go skiing with the Seeker Comp. Move over Gamma MX. Seeker Comp is the BMOC now. |

| Amazing 02-19-07 |
| dlk1100 (1): |
| I got one of these, in grey, about a month ago -- and took it to Squaw Valley for a four-day trip.
A storm socked in the mountain for four days, with rain halfway up. While I stayed above the snow/rain line the whole time, I remained super-dry. By the end of each of the first three days, being in the wet snow conditions had soaked my Garmont gloves, and gotten a bit into my Ride pants. The Seeker Comp -- still beading, not an inch of soak-thru on the whole of the jacket. A kid working at a shop at the base of the mountain was stunned when I came in on the third day -- "you're dry?!?!!"
Add on the angled zipper (no chafing lips and chin), the super-cool look (slim cut and stylish), the helmet-friendly hood...this has got to be one of the best jackets out there.
P.S. on the fourth day the skies cleared and it was a three-foot fresh-tracks Monday. |

| A conundrum: what is this jacket for? 02-03-08 |
Rumdoodle (8):  |
| Nice fit, quality manufacturing, but utterly useless in the outdoors. I've field tested this item several times while backcountry skiing - what this jacket was supposedly designed for. Even mild breezes went right through it, and you'll freeze in a winter wind unless you have a windblock layer underneath (in which case, why wear a parka?). It is also only as 'waterproof' as the DWR; if you lean against anything snowy or wet, the body soaks right through. I found it highly breathable, yes, but so is cotton and wool. I even tried a second jacket to be sure that these criticisms applied to more than one - parka 2 was no better than parka 1. So here's the conundrum: what is a $375 jacket for if it neither blocks wind or keeps you dry? I sent them back. |
