Made for cool-weather climbing, the Arc'teryx Clarkia AR Women's Insulated Hoody is a relaxed, comfortable jacket that punches above its weight in warmth. A soft knit liner and light synthetic insulation keep you cozy between burns, while a burly canvas exterior shrugs off rock and rough handling. It is the kind of layer you live in at the crag from morning chill to evening cool.

Why we like it:

The combination of a soft knit lining and tough cotton canvas is what makes it special; it feels relaxed and comfortable next to skin but takes abuse like a workwear piece. The streamlined hood with hidden adjusters is a tidy touch.

Features and Functions:

The Clarkia AR uses 40 gram synthetic insulation that punches above its weight thanks to a burly cotton canvas exterior, with a soft knit liner for next-to-skin comfort. A streamlined hood with hidden adjusters, flapped zippered hand pockets, and inner knit cuffs make it ideal for all-day bouldering and cragging in cool temperatures.

Fit and Sizing:

A relaxed, oversized fit gives easy, casual movement and room to layer underneath. True to the relaxed cut; size down if you prefer a closer fit.

Bottom Line:

For fall climbing and cool-weather hangs, the Clarkia AR is best at comfortable, durable warmth at the crag. A casual-feeling insulated layer tough enough for real use on rock.
