Hi, I wanted to ask what size was the incendo jacket that was tested and what was the height/chest of the person that tested it. Did it run a bit small?

To be honest, using Alpha SV glove during running is not a professional choice. It is designed for Alpine climbing or skiing, rather than running. It is bulky and not that breathable when you run. A better option is venta glove which uses windproof materials.

In reply to Sam.

Agree that Arc’teryx gear is expensive. Pretty sure all the gear in this article is $1000 or more at MSRP. (I know I could look it up to be sure, but won’t bother)

That said, it is very good quality stuff, and the few Arc’teryx items that I do own are definitely favorites of mine to wear. Construction and materials are always great and hold up well. Looks and appearances are top notch in my view as well. If you can afford their stuff, or find it discounted (like I did), it is a good investment.

Big thanks to Runblogger for posting this topic. I’ve been looking at using my REI dividend and member discount toward some Arc’teryx gear this year, and this is a big help as solid reviews on their gear are hard to find.

Thanks for this awesome review! I will definitely be checking these products out for the upcoming rainy, spring weather.

Appreciate the reviews but Arc’Teryx gear is just way too expensive. If you have patience you can catch Patagonia and Marmot stuff on sale at places like steepandcheap.com for a fraction of the price.
