Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rush Jacket

love all of my Arcteryx gear such a great company , have alot of Leaf as well , hope to see more come out soon , keep up the great work ....

Diese Jacken trage ich nicht nur zum Wintersport, sondern auch bei meinen Bergtouren egal welches Wetter!

I have been an active wearer of this jacket for about 2 years now and it is still holding strong. It has great wind protection, I have yet to see a drop of water penetrate and I have not had any issues with wetting out. It is a solid jacket, great for backcountry skiing, everyday winter wear, and is the perfect (and sylish) shell to layer even on the bitterly cold days (whether its freezing raining, or snowing). It fits perfectly overtop of multiple layers and is sized to do so without feeling like you are swimmingin material. This is the most amazing jacket I have ever owned!

Ordered this jacket last fall for use this season. After one season I am already in love with it. The blue colourway will be a timeless classic and I am pleased with how it actually looks vs. how it appears on a screen. The updated jacket with the heavier Goretex is nice for peace-of-mind during tighter tree runs, or when carrying the board/skis on touring days. The front pockets are quite large which is nice, but the internal stash pocket is what I found most useful. The mesh pocket easily accommodates a variety of sizes for whatever item you want to throw in there (action camera, toque, tools, beverage). The hood is easy to use and truly fits over any size helmet. I found it cinches down nicely to stay in place without interfering with peripheral vision. My only complaint is that when I purchased the jacket, I used an older molder (c. 2014-2015) for sizing as the shop I worked at did not have any in stock. Normally I would take a medium, but I decided to buy a large based on the older model I tried - in order to help with range of motion during heavy layering. I snowboard and felt as though a medium might ride up the back too high when bending forward for grabs...etc. I assume that Arc'Teryx updated the sizing on the jacket, though, because the large I received is much roomier than the large I tried on. The sleeves seem much longer and with more room, and it sits a little bit lower down on my waist. If I had my time back, I would have stuck with size medium, like with all my other Arc jackets. At the end of the day it is not a big deal, and I still am in love with this iconic jacket.

Aprs plusieurs annes avec une Sabre Pull-Over (trs ample) et une veste Millet NeoShell (qui s'est vite dgrade) j'ai voulu une veste tout aussi efficace que ma Sabre mais avec une coupe plus ajuste. La Rush a su me convaincre. La coupe est longue lgrement ample, mais somme toute plus ajuste qu'une Sabre. Les poches extrieures et intrieures sont bien places et assez grande (mme si je ne trouve pas d'intrt aux poches de manche lorsqu'elle sont aussi hautes). La capuche trs grande est parfaite pour y abriter un casque et les serrages permettent de l'ajuster. Techniquement, la veste est solide, parfaitement tanche, avec une coupe adapte aux mouvements. Le tissu est un peu bruyant par contre.

Decided to go with Arc'teryx this year from previous OR brand jacket. I kept reading so many great things about this brand, and the reviews are true. Excellent winter weather protection when snowboarding, and each pocket is placed exactly where you need it. Let alone I have had a few full on days on mountain whipping through some glades and getting smacked by trees - but no scuffing or tears on the Rush jacket shell. Light, tough, windproof, and keeps you warm with minimal layers underneath. Bit of an investment, but an investment in this kind of quality is worth it.

Absolutely amazing shell. This does the job of several cheaper solutions, and does it with better quality than any. I'm 6' 185, athletic, and the medium fits me with enough room for base layers, and a snug but acceptable fit with a heavy down layer. Arms are loose enough to give full movement with no pulling even with heavy down layer. The powder skirt is a little snug on my 33-34 inch waist, but acceptable. Typical Arc'teryx quality in every detail.

Had my Rush shell for a year now. 90% used for skiing, but do use it for general outdoor protection from the elements. Live in southern BC so it has seen all types of weather. Don't wait if you're thinking about it. I spent months debating and finally pulled the trigger, haven't looked back. Has held up through it all keeping me dry/warm without overheating as well as ample room for layers but can easily be worn on its own (5' 8"/135lbs Size S). Looks and works as good as the day I bought it and cant wait to use it for years to come.

From top to bottom this is the finest clothing made.

I absolutely love this jacket! I have tried various layer setups for backcountry and resort skiing. This is by far my favorite layer. Last weekend it was awesome at the resort on a powder day with 30+mph winds @ 10 deg F. Then the following day doing some backcountry skiing with -46 F wind chill (5F high, 48mph gusts) it still kept me warm all day with just an R1 and two LS base layers underneath! I didn't even find the need to put on my puffy when switching over. By opening the pit zips all the way while skinning, I stayed cooler than I have in softshell jackets or goretex active w/o pit zips. One of the most crucial features for me is a hood that fits over my helmet while allowing free range of motion and visibility.

Upgraded my shells to Arc'teryx a few years ago and this Rush Jacket is my year round go to for weather protection. I use it split-board mountaineering and snowmobiling and as a rain shell in the summer. It has held up to several YEARS of abuse already. I am so impressed. I just wash it as instructed and it comes out looking great after all the grime and grease I get into it over the season. No tears in fabric, no zipper issues. Just a bomber jacket that will last 10+ years. Awesome work.

THE BEST skiing Jacket I have ever owned , and I have Two Rush Jacket previously had a Stingray but one thin I will tell U Rush To Own IT !!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U GUYS

A shell for the worst weather Mother Nature can throw. After 4 years, I've worn this jacket 75 miles fishing offshore to skiing blizzard conditions. Ski 70+ days a year and use this jacket 80% of the time. Pockets are monsters, I can roll a 100 weight fleece up and store in a pocket if the CA sun gets to much. Great pit zips that can be zipped/unzipped with one hand. I'm 6-0 and 188 lbs with a 44 inch chest. I bought the XL but I like the extra room for layering. You get what you pay for and this one is worth the price.

Choosing a shell is choice paralysis because there are so many options. I live in the Pacific Northwest where a typical day in the mountains is rain, wind, snow, fog, ice, sun, or any blend of those conditions. This shell has a good combination of three outside pockets, two inside pockets, helmet optional hood adjustments, heavy & light Gore-Pro fabrics. The attention to detail in the construction is apparent; additionally, Arc'teryx offers excellent after sales service if needed. This jacket won't make you happy, it's not "bombproof," it's not the best thing ever made, but it will allow you to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.

Ne cherchez pas plus loin, la Rush est LA veste de touring ! Lgre, respirante, robuste, offrant une libert de mouvement totale. Avec cette veste, plus besoin de s'encombrer d'un windstopper, grce au nouveau Gore-Tex Pro et la conception en 2 paisseurs, elle est assez respirante pour la supporter la monte. Dommage, avec sa couple ample, qu'elle ne soit pas propose en XS... Cher staff, pensez-y ;)

Living in the Wasatch, working at one of the resorts and being outdoors most days, I've acquired a number of jackets and shells. The Rush is my favorite. It is nicely adjustable, proportionally excellent, ruggedly durable, lightweight and form fitting. I haven't found another shell with such a great combination of those factors. It may not have the pockets and add-ons some jackets do but then its simplicity is one of the things I appreciate about it. It has all the pockets and features I need for skiing and most outdoor activities. I just haven't found another brand that is so refined and embraceable. I liked it so much I was wearing it every day, so I bought a second for a different set of colors.

This is a great jacket! The mix 80D/40D gives you durability and save some weight without compromising features! I'm 5'5" / 147 and the small fits great! I agree with some of the reviews that say the jacket is a little on the short length side, but that's where the powder skirt is going to help you and the slide&lock feature works great to attach to your pants if you don't like to wear bibs, it provides enough room for layering and and I can move without any restriction! The quality and detail in this piece is outstanding, the blue nile color is pretty much like shown in the picture. Pockets: the two hand warmer pockets are a little higher than normal, but not totally pack friendly, they can work with a pack, but are not the easiest ones to use with a pack, the internal stash pockets is handy and the zippered internal pocket is a nice addition for some snacks or wallet, no media pocket but I prefer to put iPod on my mid layer to keep it warm and save battery. I wish there was a big chest pocket, something like the one on the Theta SVX, maybe not necessary to be too big, but a chest pocket would be a nice improvement! The hood is big and easy to go over my medium smith helmet, the collar is high but not the most spacious. Sometimes I wish there was a little more space in the collar area since it can get a little tight sometimes, but not to the point to bother me. This is a great jacket, light, generous fit for layers, nice helmet compatible hood and I believe it's the least expensive Goretex Pro Shell from Arcteryx, what else can we ask for? Humm, maybe a chest pocket!

To start i am 174cm65kgmedium built with a 93cm chest measurement and a 34" waist. I normally wear a SMALL on most Arcteryx jackets but i went for a Medium on the 2013 model Rush. From other reviews i noticed lots of positive feedbacks regarding to the ski functionality so i would like to point out some feedbacks on this jacket apart from using it for skiing. Sizing. Arcteryx claims that the Rush has their Expedition Fit same as the Alpha SV. I own an Alpha personally and i can tell the Rush has a slimmer cut on the chest and the sleeves, more like Arc's Athletic Fit. It fits like a Theta AR or a Beta AR in my opinion. And this is also the reason why i went one size up. Dont get me wrongi am fine with both the Small and Medium but i was planning to wear some heavy layers underneath the Rush so i settled for the Medium. Fabric. I love the idea of combining 2 different Gore Tex Pro fabrics with the N80P-X on high abrasion areas. This eventually helps the jacket to be more user-friendly and super comfortable to wear. It also feels softer comparing to the full N80P-X Alpha SV. Hood. Adjustments. Typical helmet compatible Storm Hood. A couple of adjustments at the back and 2 drawcords on the front, which is located outside the jacket, which can be easily adjusted even with your gloves on. I am not a fan of the drawcords located inside of the jacket near your chin just like the Modon Jacket so no problems with the hood here. Hem adjustment is single-handed operated, typical Arcteryx stuff with a non-detachable powder skirt. Pockets. Zippers. A tiny pocket on the sleeve for your passes but i do not use it too often. A couple of handwarmer pockets. They above mentioned are equipped with Watertight zippers. Meanwhile the main zipper is Watertight Vislon, which i always prefer over the normal Watertight main zipper just like the one on the Stingray. The Vislon just zips like butter and i can definitely operate it with a single hand. 1 mesh pocket and 1 zippered pocket on the inside of the jacket and it feels great to always have a mesh pocket for your sunglasses or goggles. It is also more practical when you are wearing your gloves. Verdict. I use the Rush everyday from skiing to walk my dogs or even riding my scooter to work. As one of the reviewers say it does not make sense to compare the Rush to the Alpha SV since they are built for different purposes. However i can definitely say the Rush can also be used as an everyday jacket because of the more user friendly fabric combo, the pocket configuration and the cut. Thanks Arcteryx for building the Rush.

I was extremely pleased when I received this jacket. I think it's probably the best Arcteryx jacket for skiing that i tried on. Would highly recommend. It's purely a shell so you can layer how you want, which is my preference. I ski with the Patagonia powder bowl still for heavier days. Very impressed with the Rush.

I admit, I love Arc'teryx products and own several jackets but none compare to the Rush for skiing. Until this year I used a Stingray jacket (I also own a Theta and a few soft shells) as my primary but it was time to change. After looking at all the options I purchased the Rush and couldn't be happier. It looks great, layers great, has wonderful pocket placement. The combination of fabrics make a much nicer feel then just a hardshell #like the SV and Theta#. If you plan to ski with a shell, this is a jacket you must look at. For reference I'm 54, 5'8" tall and 145lbs. The "M" fits just great with enough room to put an Arc'teryx layer or 2 under on cold days.

I have only used this jacket a few days and I am loving it. I have the Supernova color, which I believe looks a lot better in person. The hood fits perfectly over my helmet and is very adjustable. The fit looks great and feels even better. I love how light the jacket is too, feels weightless and very flexible. Powder skirt is unnoticeable, but has not zipper, or snaps for pants, could pose a problem on deep powder days, but has yet to be tested by me. Overall this jacket has been perfect!

I was hesitating between the Rush and the Theta SV as my new skiing and 4 seasons backpacking jacket... After several shopping sessions where I have tried both jackets with multiple number combinations (and various types) of layers, I decided to go with the Rush. I'm 6'4" (185 lb.) and the fit of the Large is perfect, with just enough room to accomodate a base layer + fleece + Atom LT hoody combo. (The Theta SV had a bit too much unnecessary room around the shoulders). I've tried every other brand of Pro Shell out there (Peak Performance, Mountain Hardwear DryQ Elite & North Face... And nothings compares to the fit and build quality that I've found in the Arc'teryx Rush jacket! I'm so ecstatic about my new purchase and can't wait to enjoy the Rush for the many years to come!

I was really excited to get this and seems to be an amazing jacket but the color was not as advertised for the elevation color and the other colors don't fancy me.
