Micro-seam allowance (1.6 mm) reduces bulk and weightĮxpedition with e3D fit for easy layering, svelte profile and functional articulation It is the best protection available for warmth and weight. The Fission SV is the perfect all mountain jacket for hostile conditions. The Fission SV is cut to the Arcteryx Expedition Fit block which is large and over cut to allow for winter/expedition style layering.
The end result is that the Fission SV feels fantastic on giving you a real sense of comfort and protection.
WOMENS ARCTERYX FISSION SV ZIP
All external pockets use WaterTight zips and the main zip has a WaterTight Vislon zip all of which are highly water resistant but not completely waterproof.Īrcteryx have applied their genius E-3D patterning which uses clever design and construction techniques to improve the fit, enhance mobility and reduce overall weight. There are also plenty of storage options with two chest pockets, two hand pockets and two internal mesh pockets. When not required the hood "drops" out of the way leaving the high collar to provide warmth and seal out the wind. Fill this garment with a highly hydrophobic Coreloft Continuous synthetic insulation and wack a super light air permeable PermaAir 20 liner and you get a super warm jacket that is all about driving and keeping moisture out! Which of course is what Arcteryx have done.Ī fully insulated and helmet compatible "Drop Hood" provides essential protection and is attached to an insulated high collar. The Fission SV uses the light but extremely durable N80p-x 2 layer Gore-Tex outer shell that provides excellent waterproof protection with increased breathability. Designed to make it more comfortable, stronger and just better. The Fission SV has been the toughest, warmest and most waterproof jacket from Arcteryx Essentials range.

Patagonia Frozen Range ( Men's - Women's) Now how do all these play out in practice?Ĭonsidering you only have a t-shirt under the Kappa, assuming little wind and casual use (no output), you'll most likely to wear it comfortably in temperatures over 7 deg F (-14 deg C). Though reverse engineering shows me that they aren't all that different from one another, as I explained in this post. Speaking of the performance of the insulator itself, Coreloft Continuous, it's almost impossible to determine its stance along other synthetic insulators like PrimaLoft and ThermaTek. So I'll limit the context here to the insulation.Ĭonsidering the fact that insulation density of other jackets in the market and in Arc'teryx line up mostly hover around below 100 g/m², 140 g/m² of insulation puts Kappa quite a bit ahead in warmth department. Insulation isn't the only factor that determines warmth (face fabric, fit, length etc also play a role though weaker) - though it's the most important one.You can see a list of Arc'teryx's all insulated jackets, their insulators and the insulation amounts in this guide I've put together. Coreloft, and specifically Coreloft Continuous, is Arc'teryx's most common synthetic insulator. Kappa is equipped with 140 g/m² of Coreloft Continuous. In summary if you're looking for a warm, comfortable, casual jacket you can use many years during cold and damp city days, then Kappa can be a great option for you (don't expect any breathability or packability, though). Being designed specifically for stationary use in damp areas, which is a pretty standard and common type of use, it's a shame that Arc'teryx never offered this absolute unit in women's counterpart. Along with Dually Belay, Fission SV and Nuclei SV Kappa ( Men's) is one of the warmest and most weather resistant synthetic insulated jackets Arc'teryx has ever manufactured.
