Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rush Jacket

Bought the jacket to replace my sabre LT! It fits way better at the hips!The shoulders and chest are fine for layers but It is still to long for me , i bought a medium( i'm 5,7 170lbs) Super for skiing and hicking!!

I order COLOUR Elevation, but its not the same color, the top of the jacket is grey and not black. Is it normal ? Maybe the picture of the website is more dark. The quality is perfect and the size as well ! (XL, 187cm, loose fit style) Thats the kind of technical ski jacket I was looking since a while. The price...

Compared to a Beta AR, this feels way more baggy. I do like the longer length for skiing. Used it for 3 seasons, very durable. The powder skirt works well when I fall (and I guess the icy New England conditions are a good test of durability) LOL

Love the jacket but I'm 5,7 175lbs athleticthe sleeves and shoulders are ok but the lenght!! Way to long!

Overall solid construction and everything you expect from an Arcteryx piece. Though I don't understand why did you decided to remove the chest pockets? I am really frustrated not having chests pockets like the previous versions of this jacket. Next time I would consider a jacket with better functionality.

I just received my Rush Skyrider after being backordered. I was surprised about the color difference between the website and reality, where the real color is more blue-green (darker turquoise) than blue and the difference between the dark and the brighter sections is not as distinct as on the web. Regardless of this, I like it and will update the review as I break it in.

I bought this to replace my 15+ YO Theta AR (in the classic Sangria color) that finally gave up the ghost when I washed it last. So far, so good. We're not into ski season yet in CA, but wearing around town and in the rain, this seems as solid as my Theta. Definitely stiffer and crinklier, but I expected that. I wish the fit was a bit trimmer. Maybe not quite Alpha AR/SV trim, but not quite as baggy. I really wanted handwarmers *and* the left bicep pocket, though, so the fit is what I get for that. It fits "true to size" so the extent that the arms are the right length and hem is the right length for a ski jacket. As expected there. The cut is just a bit baggier than ideal. Skyrider color is snazzy and to my eyes true to what it looks like on the Arcteryx site.

Wore it almost 100 days last winter between resort and backcountry and have no real complaints. Durability and waterproofness live up to the usual arc and gore pro standards. Feels well constructed despite not being one of the made in Canada articles but I can't confirm yet if it'll stand the test of time like their old products did. Hopefully it does or if not hopefully the warranty/repair department has stopped being so finicky since covid is calming down. I like the pocket placements as they don't interfere when wearing a pack and the internal storage pockets are great. Fit is decently long and with the skirt all snow is kept out always. Colours are bright and vivid, easily seen in the backcountry (my jacket's colour-way anyway) and hadn't faded one bit even with multiple washes. Considering it's a ski-specific jacket I would love some sort of mess in the pit zips for warmer days and spring tours but that's not really a complaint against this jacket, more against every high quality shell on the market bar some Norrona I think. One big negative for me NO TWO WAY ZIP. So incredibly frustrating having to unzip 3/4 of the way from the top just to access my beacon!! Or when trying to get into bib pockets! Would have 5 stars if not for this. Such a small and easy thing completely overlooked.

This jacket is perfect except it needs a small external pocket for cell phones and small items. The large pockets allow smaller items to move around too much when you are skiing.

I have the newest version in size large. I'm 5'10 180lbs athletic build and the large fits perfect with room to move around while backcountry skiing and walking. The goretex is super durable and works and breathes great. The pockets and ventilation are on point too. I have the red and tan color and I must say the jacket colors look way better in real life than in the internet photos. My only gripe is the collar fit. The collar when zipped up all the way can be a bit restrictive, especially when wearing a mid layer like the ATOM LT with a zip up or a baclava (which one always wears when out skiing). When the hood is up over a toque or a helmet it's totally fine but sort of feels a bit too tight when down, fully zipped and wearing a baclava and helmet. Other than that this jacket is dope! Well done arcteryx. I'm sure this jacket will serve me well for many years. The addition of some eremovable elasticated wrist cuffs with thumb hole might be a nice touch as well but I appreciate the design now as it fits over a pair of mitts really well.

I love this jacket! It is my shelter all winter long, but the reason I wanted to leave a review was to help others with the fit. I am 6'3" 180lbs and normally wear slim fit clothing. I recently purchased a large which was the size of my previous arc'teryx jacket. This one however was MUCH larger in the sleeves, and chest. The length was perfect on me, but I ended up exchanging it for a medium because there was so much extra room in the arms, and chest. Not to mention the sleeves went past my finger tips. I'm really happy with the medium but wish the large was bit slimmer

I have about 10 shells - rush, alpha sv, Patagonia powslayer, beta lt, etc. This is by far the best. Compared to alpha sv, the hoodie different. When fully zipped up it doesn't cover your mouth or nose so easier to breath comfortably when working hard skiing) Only drawback is lack of Napoleon pockets. Please please please add one or two in next generation and I'll buy another one! Would make this the perfect ski jacket. Also maybe use the new goretex pro stretch coming out this year. I have it in phantom king. Sick color. Black baccara looks even better. 6'2" 190. Large is perfect. Don't downsize - this is a shell and should pair with nano air or proton lt with a base layer under.

I have a large selection of garments from Arc'teryx. So I decided to purchase a new Rush jacket (Cyborg) and a pair of Sabre pants (Yukon). The fit and look is amazing. Waterproof but still very breathable construction. The most breathable so far! The jacket is a perfect fit with outstanding attention to detail. Good zippers, nice pockets, useful hood/hem. I am athletic 180cm tall and 85kg and medium is a great fit with a thin down jacket underneath. However, the jacket stains easily. Much easier then prior garments and the stains stick. A minor problem as the products will show patina eventually. Nevertheless, my main problem is with the inner fabric of the jacket. It is to soft and wears easily. Especially the double fabric in the neck region of the hood. After a few days of skiing it is tearing (attached pictures). The fibers in the fabric tear and is separating from the layer underneath. I cannot imagine what it will look like after a few years of intensive use. I mean, it is on the inside of the hood with little abrasion except for a soft neck warmer and possibly also the smooth buckle for the helmet (A POC). Non of these are abrasive! I have contacted the retailer for a refund (there are only a few Rush in medium available in Sweden) or exchanging the jacket (if there are available jackets).

Frher habe ich bei Arcteryx immer die Gre S getragen. Jetzt muss ich immer nach XS suchen. Bitte unbedingt alle Jacken auch in XS produzieren oder alles auf frher umstellen. Danke.

Bought this shell in a large. Tried the medium, but was a little snug. I am 6 ft 185 larger shoulders so I tend to go between large and medium based on desired fit for layer/activity. Wanted a little more freedom of movement in this shell so went with the large and am very happy with it. The Rush jacket pairs nicely with the Saber pants. Nice interface with the powder skirt and buttons. Rode plenty of trees and still looks new.

As a regular skier, couldn;t have asked for more from a shell jacket. Very lightweight and easily packable, but durable at the same time, particularly on the shoulders for carrying skis. I feared the hood might flap at the back, but even when going fast (happen to be an ex-downhill racer), stayed put behind my neck and was of no nuisance. When you first wear it, though, does crinkle a bit, as if made of paper. The cuff adjustors are really sweet, and great that it comes with a powder skirt.

I purchased the Rush for multiple use in summer an winter, mountaineering and skiing. So far it has been tested only for skiing. The ample fit is very suitable for layering. Even three layers underneath leave storage room for the large hand warmer pockets that expand from neck to hem. The pocket management in general is very useful for skiing: goggles, gloves, money, snacks, ski pass, even an extra layer would fit. The peak of the hood can be folded in so that it serves as a neck warmer. Hood adjustments can improve the fit for that purpose. Unfortunately, the otherwise very comfortable hood impaires a little the sideward vision worn over a helmet and string releases, especially in front, can hardly be operated wearing gloves. The hard shell noises impaire hearing and communication compared to a soft shell, but are tolerable. The new gore tex pro in 80D ist very soft and should be used for the whole jacket, as the 40D feels a little like a pastic rain cover and sounds like it, too. The arrangement of the fabric doesn't seem reasonable, as elbows and wrists are usually under heavy duty, but not (fully) covered with the 80D fabric. Finally, the snow guard doesn't stay under the belt line in the front, did lift up the under layers and did let snow enter the pants on one occasion. It should be attached lower. Secondly, a universal attachment seems fair and reasonable to me, so the jacket is compatible to other brands. Arcteryx has already attached a lable that warns you not to pull. Ad a button and you already got 1 fastening and it doesn't boost the jacket to a different weight category either. Otherwise this shelll has served very well, as reported by the other reviewers, stayed dry, was breathable and didn't show any sign of use after one week.

Great jacket, but there are a couple reasons to seriously consider switching to the Alpha SV, as I did. The main reason being the increased durability of the Alpha while weighing less. The pocket location on the Alpha is more suited to wearing a pack or accessing in general, never needed the "hand warmer" pockets of the rush. Also the powder skirt is not necessary for me as I usually wear a 1/2 bib, if I really need to keep it out the Alpha has a hem cinch and a waist cinch. The stash pocket for goggles was nice when walking from the car but anything more than that and I put them in my pack or in my thigh pocket anyway since that location is a bit awkward. Also the Alpha SV allows a little more more head movement when wearing a helmet and everything is cinched tight.

Amazing quality shell jacket and construction as ever. Just wish the cut was better (arms too long, body slightly too long). Also the pockets could be much better: pocket on wrist for ski pass - upper arm makes it hard to get through lots of machines without having to lean down. Chest pocket on the outside thats large enough for a large phone - one on either side ideally. The pockets on this one are blocked when i wear a backpack so cant use. The inside pockets are useless. I really need 2 larger pockets with zips so i can safely put my max size phone and other items away safely). With these changes this would be the perfect jacket for me.

Overall I like the jacket. Tried it out the first time this past weekend and it performed well. Where I think the jacket could be betterpockets are too high, jacket could be a little more trim fit and hood is hard to adjust.
