Diode Water Repellent Insulated Bomber Jacket

[Employee of arcteryx] This is a solid mid-weight insulated jacket for day to day use on cooler days in the fall/winter. The fit feels true to size for a jacket, leaving some room to layer underneath as needed, whether a hoodie for a more casual look or a collared shirt and sweater for a smarter look. The material and insulation does a decent job at keeping out light rain and wind, though you'll probably want something with a hood if you're out for longer periods in more inclement weather.

I was looking for a jacket that was semi-warm, didn’t have a hood, and could be styled pretty easily. This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. I have long hair and I often get bothered with an unused hood interacting with my hair. I’ve had this jacket for 5 days now and I didn’t expect it to be as waterproof as it is. It’s a little silly to desire a waterproof jacket but not want a hood, but I’d say that’s an extra positive. It’s not super cold right now (50F at night) so I can’t fully attest to the insulation, but it can definitely layer well and holds its own warmth plenty. I was also looking for a jacket that fit good but more specifically looked good left open and this one nails that (probably due to the lack of a hood)
