Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Solano Hoody

I own the previous version with the pocket flap and love it. Love it. Absolute favorite shirt, work or play. Then they redesigned it and everyone is up in arms about the zipper. Not a huge fan of the zipped pocket as it goes from 'white or blue collar job' or even 'clergy' to 'oil can worker' shirt in a hot second. But that in and of itself isn't a deal breaker. I can live with that. The deal breaker are the enormous new plastic buttons that have inexplicably replaced the low profile metal snaps. This change does two things: First, the panel down the front that covers these monstrosities doesn't lie flat at all. This is problematic because it makes the shirt have waves in it and immediately ages it from day one like the fabric has been stretched out due to wear. Second, the plastic snaps stick out like warts and you can feel them on your front. Nothing about this redesign works. The overall double whammy creates a look of cheaper fabric (it very well may be the exact same material but it doesn't lie flat and smooth as before). If you enjoy looking unkempt, this is the shirt for you! Not a good look for a shirt that is trying to be dressed up. Would love to send this version back for a store credit as it is just going to be banished to my closet until enough time has passed where I can stomach donating this expensive shirt to my preferred charity thrift store. Literally the only thing I like about this version compared to the other is that it is true to size.

I own 12 skyline shirts, old style. All colors. These have been my favorite shirts for at least 10 years. The cut, the fabric, the color stripe inside of the collar, the indestructible logo on the back panel, the pocket with a flap. They don't wrinkle, they don't smell. Wash, hang, wear and repeat. What an amazing product from a great brand. Last year the design and material started going south. I still bought two in grey and black because wanted to try and still had good hopes for the updated design. I was disappointed. The fabric is thinner, gathers static like crazy and the buttons are not as smooth. Also the color stripe in the collar was gone. What gives? This year's model is just a disaster. The zipper on the pocket looks cheap. The cut and fabric are even worse than last year. Now I have to iron the shirt and it gets wrinkled so easily. No more stripe inside of the collar. Remember the plum color with the green collar stripe? Remember the graphite black with the orange stripe? What happened to you guys?

I thought it was just me, but apparently every loyal Skyline wear everyday customer has recognized the reduction in quality. Luckily like many others I have stocked up on on my favorite colors of the old design. New or old potential Skyline wearers don't waist your time. You'll be as disappointed as the rest of us.

The previous design was perfect, and I bought one in every color. I had hoped that this year Arc'teryx would feature the same design with new colors. And I really liked the "trim fit," but this year the description is "regular fit." Hopefully, Arc'teryx will take the reviews to heart and next year's Skyline will be more like last year's design and fit.

I have six of the previous skyline shirts. I liked them so much I even bought them as staff uniforms for my company. The new shirt looks cheap and the zipper doesn't help the situation. I bought two and gave one away. Please read these reviews and ditch the zipper and bring back the old shirt. The one pro is the snaps seem more secure on the new shirt.

Pourquoi faire preuve de si peu de crativit en reprenant les premiers modles de nos chemises prfres?Et ne pas laisser la version prcdente si aboutie et largement apprcie. Si toutefois vous prenez conscience de votre grosse erreur et songez revenir au modle si plbiscit, je vous suggrerais de vous inspirer des bonnes choses dj ralises, savoir une pice de textile diffrente sous les aisselles plus adapte aux agressions des dodorants. Merci

I own two of these shirts with the old design and I love them. I can hit the trail and look classy. These new shirts have a style that's too athletic. That's not why I bought the shirt in the past. It's easy to find a lightweight shirt that will keep you cool. The old skyline design was that with style. Just another disappointment in 2020 it seems. Hopefully Arc'teryx will get smart and go back to the old design next year. Because I certainly won't be purchasing this year's model.
