  • Eric Plath

    @htalpo

    I would use the Arc’teryx celeris jacket when I’m training for miscellaneous inline marathons that I’m currently training for. The jacket would especially work well when I’m skating in the rain, as I dislike having to wear more heavy duty/ industrial jackets.

    • Eric Plath

      Also, I would like a men’s jacket

  • Matt

    I will use it to climb Mt. McLoughlin this fall: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_McLoughlin

    @lusciousasnaked

    I’ll use it HERE, at home xD Living amongst mountains means chill and windy winter! Not that fall is that warm either…

  • Jeff Markman

    @jeffmarkman

    If I’m lucky enough to win this awesome jacket, there isn’t much I wouldn’t use it for. Lakefront biking here in Chicago in a torrential downpour? Trail running in the rain back home in East Tennessee? Late season skiing in Colorado? Packing it for protection from the elements while traveling worldwide? All of the above and more.

    That jacket would be my new best friend.

    • Jeff Markman

      Oh, and I’d like a men’s jacket.

  • simone

    @simone13

    would use it for chasing aphids in my field experiment, to keep warm when climbing a mountain in the Alps when visiting home, to protect me from the sun climbing Ontarion limestone.

    womens, please ;-)

  • Jessica Sokolowski

    @JesSoko ! I’d wear this amazing jacket, women’s style please, while I hike around the Catskills. If I had this I wouldn’t have to worry about the rain as much- perhaps more fall hiking too.

    I need the women’s jacket. I’ll use it on our camping trips.

    Thanks

  • Lindsey

    My ladies’ Celeris would be a perfect complement to my indispensable Arc’Teryx Theta AR when we go backcountry camping in the Canadian Rockies — next week Crypt lake in Waterton, our favourite park. And, eventually, our climb up Mt. Kenya.

  • Lindsey

    oops, @lindseywallis

  • Jens

    @jenskirch

    Perfect for riding my bicycle.

  • Dee Laamann

    @tikitrouble We have not tried Arc’teryx products and I could def use an ultra-light windshell for the upcoming trip to Gunnison/Crested Butte, then Breck in early Aug, then Leadville 100 after that.

    It’d be great for my upcoming volunteering trip in Costa Rica. Even when I come back home to Philly it’ll be useful…I’ll finally be able to face that wind chill I never could get used to. ;-D
    Plus, with my obsessive need to fit everything in one bag when traveling anywhere, this is perfect in every way!

  • Tonio Garcia

    I keep a windshell with me wherever I go, on the road, on a plane, rain or shine. This Arc’teryx Celeris would replace my trusty one (bought in 1994 and still in working condition).

    Men’s Large for me please.

    Snow falls silently
    collects in tiny drifts on
    Celeris shoulders.

  • Jack Ulrich

    @Jack_Ulrich

    My twins are finally old enough to go hiking, so I need to gear up. A new men’s XL shell would allow me to focus on other items necessary to outfit three people.

    @familyonbikes

    I want to wear that jacket when we (finally) make it down to Patagonia. It’ll be cold down there on bikes! (Or maybe I should get a small one and let my son wear it?!?!)

  • http://dshack.net David

    I’ll climb mountains in Cali, hurtle down the streets of SF on a bicycle, snowboard spring days in Oregon, jog, hike, backpack, and generally turn this thing from whatever pretty color you send it to me in to a deep, dirty brown. I’ll take a men’s.

  • Chris

    @farrarc0 – As a rugby player, mixed martial artist, and avid backpacker I could use a jacket like this! My University sits on top of a 10,000 acre plateau, and with the unpredictable weather we have, this jacket would be an excellent add on to my gear.

    @davidlutzy (on Twitter)

  • alia

  • MJ

    I’d give it to my son. @sumrthyme

    @katmagick The Hubs needs this jacket. He hikes in all weather so he needs to be prepared.

    Arc’teryx is definitly one of the best outdoor clothing company : smart and well cut designs, intelligent fabrics and well tought of products for all kinf of climate and activities !!!

    As for this jacket in particular, I like the fact it’s light and easy to pack for traveling ! The color is just stunning!

    Have a great summer everyone!!!

  • http://www.EvolveSantaFe.com Frank O’Mahony

    I would wear my MEN’S jacket to great summer evening concerts at the Santa Fe Bandstand. Weather changes minute by minute… @FrankInBoulder

  • http://jamieorman.com/ Jamie

    @jaymayy

    Seeing as how I am about to take on the world in a grand adventure, this jacket would be more than useful for me. When traveling the world on a whim you kind of need to have something to keep you safe from the weather.

    So. I think I would like a women’s medium if you will.

    Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to take pictures while I’m in Mexico, Egypt, Russia, and all those other places bound to make friends jealous.

  • http://www.engagingireland.com Kathy N

    @Kathy_SixEight – I love these Arc’teryx jackets (and their shorts, too!). They’re great to use when we’re trail hiking in the mountains. They fold up small, so you can have them to hand if you run into one of those infamous afternoon showers that pop up around here in the summer!
