Arc'teryx Trident Softshell Jacket - Women's
Brand : Arc'teryxItem : ARC0336
The Arc'teryx Women's Trident Softshell Jacket's polyester-faced fabric provides incredible breathability to keep you comfortable as you ski through the backcountry. Though it's water and wind resistant, the Trident Softshell Jacket is more suited to breaking trail under blue skies than hiking through a storm. However, this Arc'teryx jacket will keep you comfortable during those initial snowflakes and it is breathable enough to wear as a second layer under your hardshell when the weather gets real nasty.

Arc'teryx Trident Softshell Jacket - Women's
Disappointing, suffers from poor fit.
I love Arc’teryx jackets, but this one disappointed me. I was really looking forward to wearing this beautiful softshell, but it doesn't fit the female body well like Arc’teryx jackets usually do. This jacket is really unflattering and tight in the chest. I'd say if you're a C cup or larger, this jacket won't fit you in the chest either. The pockets are higher than most jackets (like the gamma SV) to accommodate for your pack, but it's actually really awkward because this jacket fits much tighter than the gamma MX and the material near the pockets pops out even if they're zipped closed. I'd try ordering it in a bigger size, but as it is the sleeves are too long (another problem I've never had with any other Arc’teryx jacket). All of my other Arc’teryx jackets in the same size fit perfectly, but this one really suffers from poor fit. After trying it on with just a t-shirt, I can't imagine trying to wear any other layers underneath it. I won't be able to test any of its technical abilities because I'd rather spend my money on a better-fitting jacket. But this jacket may fit smaller chested women better.
On the small side, the fit is good.
I really like the jacket. I ordered too large of a size (I ordered S instead of XS) based on the prior reviewers comments. As always, your body type will affect fit, so go with your instinct. It is also possible that just the larger sizes seem disproportionate compared to the smaller sizes.
