- Is the Arcadia II fully waterproof?
- Yes. The nylon shell has sealed seams and a water-repellent finish, so it handles rain. It is not a heavy storm shell, and long downpours can eventually soak through.
- How does it fit?
- It is cut loose, so most shoppers take their usual size and still have room for a sweater. Those who want a trimmer look often size down.
- Does it have pit zips or vents?
- No. The Arcadia II has no underarm vents, which is why it can feel warm during fast walking or hiking.
- Can I pack it in a backpack?
- Yes. It is light and rolls up small, which is why owners use it as a travel and commute shell.
- What is it made of?
- A nylon shell with a polyester and mesh lining. The hood is attached and adjustable, and there are two zippered hand pockets.
- Is it warm enough on its own?
- No. It is a rain shell with no insulation, so it works as an outer layer over a fleece or sweater in cool weather.
