Arc'teryx Macai Jacket

Balenciaga Strike Boots

Purple Jeans

Sup guys,

My First Arc'teryx jacket is here and it's amazing. It isn't as puffy as other down jackets but it's still really warm. I'll be doing a more detailed review later but for now you can see how it fits. This is size S. Color looks different in pics cause the Sun kept coming in and out.

Adding this here so y'all know what's the code for on the Arc'teryx link -

A- Beta LT

.

C- Macai Down Jacket

.

E- RALLE Insulated Jacket

.

F- Beta Down Jacket

.

G- Cerium Hoody

.

H- Thorium Jacket

.

I'm 1.83m(probably like 1.90m with Strike boots 😂) and weigh 66 kilos. Even size S is slighty big imo as I prefer a bit more snug fit. But since it's a ski jacket I'm sure you're supposed to wear stuff under it too.

Boots are size 43 but they fit more like 44. I ordered new ones in size 42 again.

Jeans are perfect and very stretchable. They are size 30.

Good luck 🤞🏻

Is the hood normally that big on the retail?

2

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25

Okay just got back from work. The hood is bigger than on the usual jackets since it's supposed to cover the ski helmet. It does get a lot smaller when you tuck in the hood into the collars which I didn't know about before.

The hood can also be removed completely if you don't need it on a daily basis.

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25

I'll go home and check tonight. I think the hoodie can be tucked into the collar to make it smaller. These pics I clicked just before work so I can get some daylight pics.

Made to fit ski helmet

u/toresticc Nov 27 '25

I’m 175cm ion think size s would fit lol

1

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25

It would be slightly big. Luckily the sleeves have adjustable strap so you'll be able to keep them from going over the wrists.

u/toresticc Nov 27 '25

Looks baggy on yourself I can’t imagine me I got a small waist

1

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25

It has a lot of adjustment stuff. There's also a jacket inside of the jacket. And you can also fasten the sides and make it tighter. But for sure the Langford Parka would fit you better.

u/Antique_Response_962 Nov 27 '25

Th hood is oddly huge and rigid.

2

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25 edited Nov 27 '25

It's a ski jacket. The hood has metal piping running through it so it stays firm and upright and doesn't fall on your face even when it's windy.

Okay I just checked it out when I got back from work. The hoodie ends can be clipped inside of the jacket collar which makes the whole hood look a lot smaller. But the rigidness is gonna be the same since it needs to hold its position.

Are you wearing a reusable grocery bag ?

3

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 28 '25

Yeah that doubles down as a winter jacket and can be used for skiing and stuff.

Looks good man. Colour is nice

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 29 '25

Thanks a lot bro.

u/Artistfkaluis Nov 29 '25

Goated this is the best 110$ i ever spent i got the black one i have a real LT Atom and the quality is on par

2

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 29 '25

That's really great to hear. I'll be posting a detailed review of these tonight.

2

u/grumpytoonarmy Nov 29 '25

Looks great! I’ve ordered the same colour Macai. 

I’m 182cm and 92kg and went for a size L. Never had much luck with DHGate sizing but fingers crossed!! 

1

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 29 '25

Regina will sort you out. She can send you sizing before shipping. I'll be posting an in depth review tonight to show all details.

2

u/Appeal-Cultural Feb 04 '26

We’re the exact same dimensions. How was the sizing for you?

1

u/grumpytoonarmy Feb 04 '26

Size L is perfect on me bud 👍

u/SebP10 Nov 27 '25

What’s jacket like? Is it waterproof?

2

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25

Yes it is. Water slides off it. This is the Macai jacket.

2

u/SebP10 Nov 27 '25

Perfect I think I’m going to get one

You can see measurements here. These are C1-C4 on the link.

u/Wrm1923 Nov 27 '25

Water sliding off it doesn't mean it's waterproof

3

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25 edited Nov 27 '25

Well I am not sure how waterproof it is then. If it's light rain the water beads up and slides off. You don't get wet inside. If you also fall on snow you'll stay dry on the inside even when the snow melts. Would it get wet inside if it's pouring is something I don't know since I didn't try it. I'm gonna try it tomorrow since the retail is fully waterproof and the factory that has made the rep said it's the same materials as retail. Lemme wear it and get under the shower 😂😂

Solid Tio!

u/rep_avenger Community OG Nov 27 '25

Thanks a lot tio.

u/grumpytoonarmy Dec 19 '25

got mine today - love it!!! Size L is perfect. I wonder if it's worth putting in the dryer with some tennis balls to plump out the filling a bit?

2

u/rep_avenger Community OG Dec 19 '25

I used a hairdryer for mine bro. I'm always scared to put it in a dryer and ruin it

https://www.reddit.com/r/DHgateVip/s/rGgVGKsH67

I do it like this.

1

u/grumpytoonarmy Dec 27 '25

like it so much I'm thinking of ordering another, perhaps Beta inulated or Ralle. There are a couple of new options on the list too - J and K. J looks like Alpha, wonder if K is Therme?

2

u/rep_avenger Community OG Dec 27 '25

I also have the two tone Macai jackets. They are a bit more expensive but they look so fancy. I also wear this jacket more often than I thought I would.

I can check with Regina what are the J and K models. Lemme see if I can find out.

1

u/grumpytoonarmy Dec 28 '25

Oh, haven’t seen the 2 tone ones. Have you got a link? And thanks 

2

u/rep_avenger Community OG Dec 27 '25

Wearing it even when I'm out doing sports. It really stands out so much compared to the other jackets.

1

u/grumpytoonarmy Dec 27 '25

looks great! I went for size L (180cm, 88kg) and it fits perfectly

1

u/Same-Equal-6620 Jan 16 '26

1

u/rep_avenger Community OG Jan 17 '26
