Why Choose the Arc'teryx Nanton Jacket?
The Arc'teryx Nanton Jacket is where urban and outdoor styles intersect. They made this piece for cyclists who commute across town, but I purchased it to run in. It's made from lightweight Alwyn polyester fleece that keeps the cold and wind out while still allowing my skin to breathe.
It comes in a trim fit that layers effortlessly under shells or insulated jackets, while the articulated design and gussets allow for full freedom of movement. A mid-height collar and a full-front zip will let me seal in heat or let it out. There are hidden zip pockets to secure small items, and it has a longer back hem, worth mentioning, but not useful in my particular use case.
