High loft insulation laminated to a stretch-woven exterior provides lightweight, wind-resistant, toasty warmth.

From Backcountry.com:
"The Arc'teryx Easyrider Jacket keeps you rolling through the gnarliest alpine conditions without a care. The full front zip has an interior windflap, and the high loft insulation laminated to a stretch woven exterior keeps you from feeling the slightest draft. The longer waist length provides further protection, and gusseted underarms keep the jacket from riding up as you climb. Multiple pockets and a quick dry chin guard are additional comfort-enhancing features, but what makes the Easyrider an excellent touring or mountaineering choice is its feather-light weight. *Available for US shipment only."

"I used this jacket in both Iraq and Afghanistan during the winter season. If you're moving and shaking, yeah, plenty here to keep you warm. HOWEVER, if you just sitting still, this jacket leaves much to be desired in the warmth department.

Another plus was the ability to shed weather right off your back."

"I've owned this for about a year. Here are some quick facts:

With a tee shirt it's ok down to about 5 or 6 degrees celsius.

Holds off a medium rain shower for about 20-30 minutes before you feel some dampness inside.

The two handwarmer pockets are massive inside and extend right up to the shoulder, thats a great design, you can get a lot in there."

"The jacket is made of really nice Polartec Power Shield High Loft material. It is the typical soft shell from the outside, but the High Loft means it has a fur like interior. I can understand why some of the reviewers talk about how warm it is. That is what it is designed for."

"Before buying this jacket, you need to make sure that you understand what your needs are. This is the warmest of the Arc'teryx softshells. If you are going to be active in slightly chilly weather, this jacket is going to be overkill for the vast majority of people."

"This jacket is unbeatable during cold weather conditions. It is very warm and very light -- so you feel very free in range. Nothing but great.

Concerning the collar problem -- Nick is right, but it's the only negative part of Arc'Teryx jackets. SO What."

"I own both this and the Gamma SV and I would say that this is more useful since it has the insulation built into the jacket. Most of the time I find myself going for the Easyrider over the Gamma in all ranges of temperature that I would want a softshell."

"This is perhaps Arc'Teryx's warmest fleece jacket--having a powershield shell, and high loft fleece innards and seems more for casual use rather than field use. Powershield is a wonderful material--my favorite soft shell fabric--and the inclusion of powershield will create a robust jacket that will last a lifetime."
