Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Sawyer Coat

Bought for cycling in city and day to day. Perfect jacket for lot of occasions. Good length to stop jacket riding up with a backpack and for some leg coverage

Great rain jacket for everyday use. The extra length keeps all the pockets in your pants dry.

I bought this a month ago and it has been very nice. The only downside is when you are sitting down you might have to unzip the jacket.

After visiting a store, speaking to an online advisor I finally settled on the Saywer and very happy I did, got some great advice from the team which helped me sepect the perfect fit for my short but stocky frame that still allows me to fit some insulation under the jacket in colder months. I'm 165cm and about the same in kilo's, the Medium in this jacket fits perfectly, where the alternative beta LT I would have needed to size up. Quality construction throughout looks great, just need a good downpour to test out the waterproofness, that said GoreTex always delivers.

Not only does this jacket perform well in the wild elements, it's one of the few high end rain coats that doesn't stop at the belt line, which eliminates the need for rain pants on quick commutes on a daily basis. Easy to toss over a sport coat or fleece layer for either work or leisure in a part of the country that gets 54" of rain a year.

I had been wanting this jacket for a few months but has been out of stock. Through some calls and a hassle, the arcteryx team worked with me to get this awesome jacket. Like other arcteryx jacket it is supremely comfy and well fitting. I am 6'4 with a 36 chest and got an XL. Although it's long it really does fit well. I got the nocturnus blue and it's very sleek and professional for business and leisure.

I use this coat anytime the sky is looking miserable and doing day to day errands or casual outtings. Vancouver mainly as of now. The fit is nice and long, great for keeping your nice clothes dry in Vancouver weather and large enough to fit a warm layer for those cold days.

This jacket has all the usual excellent Arcteryx featureswaterproof and well constructedbut goes beyond with a pared down, longer style. This jacket is perfect for dog walking on rainy days. Also much appreciated is the subtle upper arm logo. Highly recommended!

I have had this during the cold days, and it is just perfect as the outer layer - especially in the light og wet snow. In the rain it just chases the rain drops off immediately.

Great for around town, walking to work in business casual, or a casual weekend in jeans. Like most shells, it rolls into the hood. Works best for 5C and up as I can only fit a mid layer/sweater with it.

I've been using a Beta LT shell for many years but I wanted a longer length for better protection around the city (walks around the neighbourhood, in/out of car, rain protection). I tried both the Sawyer and the Keppel coats and found the Sawyer to be a better fit overall. I'm 5'7"/150lbs and the jacket and sleeve length are more comfortable on the Sawyer. The hood also comes in handy. The coat allows for layering and depending on the conditions, I've layered with a softshell, fleece or down jacket which all felt good. The construction looks and feels top notch. The button snaps for the sleeves are appreciated over velcro that on the Beta. The spacing of the snaps were good where the wide allows your hand or a watch to slip through and the narrow keeps the sleeves at the wrist.

Thoroughly satisfied with this shell as designed for urban, clean look. Very trim throughout with minimal layering space is nicely sleek for wet days over 5-10C. Slightly restrictive for active use but ideal for standing, walking commute.

I've been wearing my Rush LT and Beta AR shell for all my fall/winter activities. However, it's not every day I'm out and about enjoying the outdoor life. Sometimes I'm just hanging out in town or in the city and I don't want to look like I'm getting ready to go to the mountains. Hence why I bought the Sawyer. When I'm commuting to work, wandering the city streets or just going shopping this is my preferred shell to wear. It's absolutely incredible. Fits perfect. Looks fantastic and has almost a futurist like vibe to it and of course it performs perfectly when the weather starts to turn for the worst. I love the Sawyer and highly recommend it!

I don't have a lot to add beyond what has been said by the many people who *rightly* observe that this jacket really needs a two-way zipper. Especially given how slim-fitting this jacket is. Whether I'm hiking in the woods, riding a bike, or just getting into a vehicle, being able to sit comfortably or even reach into my back pocket, a two-way zipper would be great.

Sleek look, only real complaint is that the hood isn't the greatest - not so manageable on the head and I wish it would lay flatter when not in use.

Bought this because I wanted a well-designed fully weather proof outershell that could fit a bit better with a professional outfit. The buttoned cuffs are a less "tech" aesthetic approach, which I like. But, it would've been nice to have a hidden elastic cuff underneath, just to get the fit perfect. Yes, a second zipper would've been nice, but for everything else you're getting, it's still a really good product. I'm 5'4" and 122 lbs. With just a t-shirt, the Small is a little roomy, but fine. With layers, the Small fits well.

I love this coat. Bought some weeks ago and definitely don't regret the purchase. The quality is superior, however a double zip would've made this exceptional.

Bought a few months back and finally got round to testing it while hiking Scafell Pike in horrendous conditions. 80mph winds, 100% rain... layered up with a kyanite hoody and berghaus jumper and was bone dry after 5 hours or so of relentless rain. Have to say, it holds up on the trails and mountains as much as the cities!

I bought the Sawyer so I could have a GORE-TEX long coat with a hood that wasn't too loud aesthetically. This coat is constructed very well and performs well in the rain. My only complaint is the lack of a double zip, as it is a fantastic quality of life feature.

this sounds like a broken record from what everyone else is saying but it absolutely needs a 2 way zipper with how narrow it fits. it's a nice looking coat and i got it to be worn with jeans or a suit - and it can be, but it is just so restrictive without a zipper at the bottom. arcyertx replies with the same robot after every review.... just... fix it. i'd buy one in each color. also, if you want to layer at all, you may need to size up. with a blazer underneath it was very tight.

This coat would be excellent, 5 stars, if it had a two way zipper. This massive design flaw should be fixed asap.

Bought this a year ago, not happy with the zipper. Should be a 2 way, I always have to undo the zip to sit in the car, on the bus, anywhere. For an around town coat/jacket it is a bit cumbersome.
