Tougher than your average softshell and more breathable than a hardshell, the Arcteryx Womens Venta AR Softshell Jacket boasts heaps of versatility and a sleek design. Arcteryx used highly breathable Windstopper Soft Shell fabric with a soft knit backing for temperature regulation in cool, thin air. The Venta AR Jacket sheds moderate rain and snow and stops the breeze dead in its tracks. Its clean, fitted construction layers well over your inner layer, and it slips under a hardshell if Mother Nature throws a heavy storm at you.
