The Arc’teryx Zeta LT Jacket for men is a lightweight, long-lasting, and protective layering option, that allows for a full range of motion and a comfortable fit. The material balances both comfort and weather-protection, making sure the fit isn’t clammy or rough against the skin, while still fighting off wet weather and wind.
