Compared to the Neutrino Pro above, for example, it's considerably heavier and more restrictive. And held up against options like the Canada Goose Expedition Parka, you get a lot less warmth—in fact, despite its name, we don't recommend the Arctic for temperatures below freezing. Finally, in terms of fit, we’ve found the Arctic to be slightly boxy from the waist down and recommend sizing up if you have broad shoulders. But these gripes aside, the Arctic nevertheless is a nice option for those who need the waterproofing and are looking to keep prices relatively low. DWR treatment, hydrophobic down, and an interior liner provide good protection in damp and windy conditions. In addition to that, it also dries 30% faster than untreated down and is able to retain 150% more loft in slightly damp conditions.
