  • Hey question once again..whats the difference between this and kepler?

  • Yup I hear you on that one. I will check this jacket out. Is this considered a softshell? Thh have the Kepler as well.

  • Yes! It is a soft shell! It has a neat feel to it!

    Keep me posted here, and what your impressions are

    once you see it!

  • For the money arcteryxt was very thin correct? It's like a plastic bag almost? So this jacket is much better value?

  • A plastic bag is stretching it a bit! (Pun intended!)

    But no doubt for $50. more you get way more value!

    Remember, Arcteryx Venta SV - NOT Water Proof, Less Breathable.

    PS: Paying $400.00 for an Arcteryx jacket that says MADE IN CHINA

    just feels wrong somehow???

  • The Atom LT is classified as a Mid-Layer jacket! Hence to cold! To Windy! Put a shell over your MID-LAYER jacket! I love my Mountain Hardware Snowtastic jacket, and have gotten complements in Best Buy just walking around! It has taken me almost 3 months of much trial, and error to find the lightest warmest, newest, best fitting, versatile gear for my body, and this is what I found works for me! Hope this helps, and has answered your question!

  • I have layered all the below pieces under my Snowtastic and was able to have great movement, breathabilty, and warmth. The secret is the Atom LT. Super light weight,

    and is crazy warm while it still breaths! Reviews of the Atom LT complain of the side panels letting air in! DUH! That is how it breaths, and that is what the R1 is for!

  • what are the pro and cons between this and the arcteryx vents sv? Doesn't the sv fit better?

  • Yes! I have to agree! The Arcteryx Venta SV did have a better over all fit!

    But having my Snowtastic jacket now for about 2 months, it feels feels like a tailor made

    piece. Here is what I layer it with if it get's in the 20's or so.

    Base - Under Armour "Fitted" EVO Coldgear Fitted Mock! "WARM

    Light Mid-layer - Patagonia, R1 Pullover "This is my favorite piece VERY Versatile!

    Insulated Mid-Layer - Arcteryx, Atom LT Hoody. PS: The hoody is insulated as well! Has come in handy!

  • Thanks for the great review!

  • pockets pockets pockets ;)
