Hassle Free Layering
This hoody is built for abuse, extremely packable, easy to put on and take off while climbing in the alpine or at the crag.

Sizing issue
This is a strange review but I write to maybe help others. I have 20 years of Arcteryx gear that I absolutely love- usually. And that includes the old Squamish hoody which I still wear most of the time when a breathable shell is needed. But Arcteryx has decided that the fit needs revising so that size medium stays the same and Large is now larger. I am a standard fit jacket, but a large fitted jacket in the old system. I have found 2 items now that are fitted in the new sizing system and they are gigantic on me. At 5'11" and 180lbs, they are way too long in the arms and hem, way too large overall so it feels like I am wearing a parachute. Then I tried the medium and yep- too restrictive and tight. So if this is not your problem, you should absolutely get this jacket, it may be Arcteryx's most versatile. Not sure why the new sizing system was introduced, but it just doesn't work on some items for a guy like me.

Best value to weight ratio
The Squamish has the best value to weight ratio. It fits in my backpack and barely adds weight yet when it’s windy or an evening chill comes on it’s right there to help. I’ve worn it in broiling sun as a sun shield too. It’s great gear for the California lifestyle.
