Any recommendations for a men's hardshell jacket? It's my first winter in NYC but I'm also an avid hiker and high-altitude mountaineer so I want something that's technical, durable, and well-designed for the outdoors, but also practical for the streets or office. I'm eyeing the Arc'teryx Beta AR or LT and appreciate its use of pit-zips for breathability, but I'd appreciate it even more if I can find a jacket that's a bit more affordable than Arc'teryx. Any recommendations?

Similar to you I was eyeing the Arc’teryx jacket and was so close to buying it during Black Friday but it didn’t fit me well. I did a bit of research and eventually bought the Outdoor Research Aspire II as it was lighter, vents for breathability and ranked higher in water resistance. The men’s version is the Foray.

Really like shorter (hip versus high thigh) jackets. Pit zips are key. I like Arcteryx, Stio, Pat, Marmot or OR. Gore-tex is key too. Don't fall for "We have DWR coating" on something cheaper. Not worth it.
