In short
Good for
- Cool three-season hillwalking and wild camps, as a warm next-to-skin or light mid layer
- Camp evenings and lower-effort days: the zip and tall collar let you vent or close the neck
- Winter days when a warmer base is wanted and the extra weight is acceptable
Strengths
- 185 g/m² Torrent jersey knit, brushed inside (warmth score 6), per Arc'teryx
- Deep front zip and tall collar for venting and neck cover
- Laminated chest pocket for a phone or a pass
- Polygiene odour-control treatment, per Arc'teryx
Weaknesses
- 245 g is in the 240–279 g band (weight score 4), heavier than most base layers
- No independent hands-on test of the current version found, so comfort, odour and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Arc'teryx Guest Services said on 2026-10-20 that Black in size M has no restock date, so it may sell out
