Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody

This jacket is awesome. Not much more to say, but I'll keep going. It's so versatile and packable, but what really stood out for me was the fit. I cannot say enough about the Arc'teryx women's sizing. The fit is perfect - I'm usually between sizes and I have a hard time finding clothing that has the right arm length, shoulder width and hip width. I'm 5'5" and 120lbs, and the small is perfect. I was worried that it would be bulky and shapeless, but it has a slim and flattering fit around the bust and waist. It's still roomy enough for a light sweater underneath. Do yourself a solid and buy this sweet jacket.

Var noget skeptisk da jeg hoppede p en Atom LT, havde en Patagonia dun jakke fr som gav for meget varme, s ville gerne have noget lettere og mere ventileret. Atom LT leverede 100%, fandt den noget billigere online og brugte den p 14 dages kajak og hiking tur i nord Norge (juni). Jakken blev brugt bde til let vindstop, pause jakke, p smture mod regn og myg, om natten som hovedpude og som by jakke en weekend i Oslo. Lrte hurtigt at holde den inden for rkkevidde. Min kreste kbte damemodellen uden htte i sort og bruger den non-stop i byen og p smvandreture. Vi fr se hvordan fyldet hndterer p sigt, men min har snart et r p bagen og holder fint. Bruges ofte under en Klttermusen Skidbladner skal.

Offert ma femme qui est vraiment frileuse, cette veste a chang sa perception de l'outdoor 4 saisons. Veste ultracompressible, chaude et bien taille. J'avais peur de la solidit du tissu externe mais cette dernire tient la route et permet de se "frotter" un peu tout ce qui se prsente (rocher, fort...). La taillant est assez grand: elle mesure 1m78 pour 63 kg, le S lui va parfaitement. Les empicements stretch permettent en cas de grand froid de mettre une micropolaire en dessous sans problme d'engoncement. Finis le froid et les rticences sortir. Merci Arc'teryx!

I've had a lot of outdoor gear over the years. I have always been a fan of down filled jackets. I am a total convert. it is warm, soft and light. It compresses really easily in a pack and for travel. I have since bought a second LT and an SV. The LT is great for 3 season activities - hiking, camping, ski touring in warmish weather and running on a cold day. I tend to use the SV around town (Vancouver) all winter and under my goretex shell for downhill skiing. Both are also terrific on a light rainy day - doesn't soak through unless it is pouring down. Love the fit, hood, everything about it.

One of the best pieces I've ever owned, hands down. The jacket is not only deceivingly light, yet surprisingly warm, but it's amazingly durable. I recently brought this jacket to the Red for some climbing and conditions were colder than desired. I wore this up some sport routes and it not only helped to keep me warm but also stood exceptionally well to abuse. It did wonders against some branches and trees during the approach and amazingly well against the rock as I work it up some routes. Worth ever penny.

Eine Jacke, welche immer dabei ist. Sie gibt angenehm warm, und dies bei geringem Gewicht. Trotzdem ist sie genug robust, um sie ohne Probleme auch als usserste Schicht zu tragen. Das macht sie zur perfekten Isolationsschicht fr Skitouren, Freeriden, Wanderungen, zum Klettern, Gleitschirmfliegen, auf dem Fahrrad oder im Winter frs Trailrunning. Aber auch bei kleineren Abenteurern wie bei der Arbeit oder in der Freizeit leistet sie gute Dienste. Die Jacke hat eine top Qualitt, habe sie jetzt seit acht Monaten jeden Tag im Einsatz, und sie ist noch in sehr gutem Zustand.

Ich wrd diese Jacke nicht mehr hergeben. Sie ist klein verpackbar immer hinten im Rucksack. Sie wrmt sehr gut, ich trage die Jacke an kalten Tagen auch fr den Aufstieg beim Skitouren oder beim Klettern in der Wand. Bewegunsfreiheit ist sehr gut, vorallem beim Klettern verrutscht Sie dank den Armsabschlssen an den Handgelenken nicht.

Only have had this piece for a couple of weeks so here are my initial thoughts. I'm 5'10" 185 lbs muscular, large fits very nice with a tshirt or even some baselayers and midlayers. Longer in the back which I like. Amazing stretch cuffs and side panels. Took it out on a -12 C day in town with a light sweater underneath, felt very comfortable. Very lightwieght and compressible. Great look, got many compliments. Amazing piece of kit.

I got the Atom LT when it first came out and instantly fell in love with it. There sre pleanty of reviews of this jacket so I won't go into details, but it's a great jacket for most of the year. I liked it so much I bought another this winter to keep for the hills, and use my older one round town.

When I went on a hunt for some warmer insulating layers I was shown this Atom LT Hoody and immediately I knew it was what I needed. I have had the Jacket for two months now and I have never been more comfortable outside. This jacket is perfect for an insulating layer under my hard shell or a light but warm layer on its own. The fit is fantastic! The torso falls to the perfect spot on my hips, the sleeves are exactly the right length, and the hood fits over any and every way I wear my hair that day. This is my first piece of Arc'teryx clothing of my own although I'm surrounded by it as a climber. I am very pleased with my purchase and cannot wait to find out what else Arc'teryx has to offer. The only jacket I had as of two months ago was a Helly Hansen hard shell rain jacket. My rain jacket has been durable enough to act as my primary jacket for over two years but has never been warm enough for my trips Rock Town, The New, and The Red during some of the colder months. I continuously found myself shivering from the harsh winds and sun blocked ampitheaters. This Atom LT Hoody has solved all my problems. The only downfall to this hoody is that the zipper tends to slide down when I have it partially zipped over my bust. This is one "con" compared to many "pros" I have found out of the Jacket. I recommend this Atom LT Hoody to anyone and everyone!

This is a great piece of kit. I have had two both in black. One had a black interior and one grey. I preferred the grey lining. The Atom hoody is pretty versatile and can be used all year round. It looks great with its trim fit. It oozes quality! If you are thinking of buying - don't delay!

This is an excellent jacket that has exceded my expectations. I'm 6', 155lbs, and the medium fit perfectly. The slimmer cut fit me much better than competing products, creating a warmer jacket as a result (not as much excess space to keep warm). The fit enables the jacket to be worn as a mid layer or as a stand alone outer layer. I found myself leaving my shell in the pack a lot more though. The hood somehow fits great when worn under or over a helmet. The simple cuff design works well when dealing with any type of shell and glove combination. I've primarily used this jacket for early season ice climbing in the NE and have used it paired with only a hooded base layer with temperatures in the teens or wet conditions in the mid 30's and stayed warm and dry every time. I had high expectations for this piece and it exceeded them.

The appearance is Sharp, the fit is ideal, it feels cozy, keeps you warm, and for it being so light, it is incredibly functional! I have a very long torso, very long arms, and brood through the shoulders, and tend to be more on the athletic side. I am a 34 in the rib cage ( I am a full B cup, I am sure the medium would fit up to a C) I bought a women's medium. This is the first women's coat I purchased anticipating the fit would be long enough in the arms and torso also hoping it would function like I needed it to. I gave this coat five stars because Its exactly what I was hoping for. This is the best fitting women's coat I have ever purchased. Don't be skeptical about the lightweight factor, I was pleasantly surprised how warm this jacket is! This is also perfect travel jacket it compacts quite nicely.

I only recently got this piece and cannot believe how much temperature variations in which you can wear this jacket and not be too hot or not warm enough. I have hiked in extremely cold weather with the Atom LT under my Theta shell and not gotten soaked. Today in the Wasatch the weather was clear and very cold, below zero. I wore the Atom LT with no shell and was warm and comfortable all day.This garment is truly extraordinary. By the way, you ask old the review happens to be, I am old as dirt and born at the time of the dinosaurs.

This jacket is so comfortable it barely even feels like your wearing anything. It keeps me surprisingly warm for how thin it is. The LT keeps me warm down to about 40-35 depending on what I'm wearing underneath. I got the small and I'm 5'4" 130lbs. It fits great- close fitting but not tight. The azulene color is really pretty but the pink on the inside is very bright. I can definitely recommend this and the SV. So glad I bought both of them!

Absolutely love this jacket! It's the most versatile piece of clothing i have ever owned. It keeps me warm in the fall/spring easily and is so breathable that i can jog/ski/move without sweating buckets. I throw a hardshell (Beta AR) over it and will be more than comfortable moving about in winter down to -15C, again with the option to vent out excess heat. However, the Atom LT is not perfectly wind proof (the inability to cinch up the hood makes wind this jacket's worse enemy), and even with a hardshell over it, the combo is not worm enough for standing around at -20C. But, the Atom LT fits so well under other layers that any of my other, older coats or jacket can become instantly winter-ready with the Atom LT layered underneath. For the -35C and under days i layer the Atom LT under my Atom SV and am bombproof. Remains my only insulatated jacket than can be worn year-round, from summer evenings to winter nights. Loved this so much that i bought one for my dad, in-laws, cousins... Everybody's loved it. I'm 5'9'' 140 lb and the small fits perfectly

This is hands down one of the best pieces of outdoor gear I have purchased, very much worth the price. I have owned other synthetic down jackets from other companies and while they have been good this jacket is great. The Coreloft insulation that Arc'teryx uses is vastly superior to anything else one the market. It insulates very well while also being unbelievably breathable. I can wear the Atom LT all day, indoors and out, and never feel uncomfortable. One of the best things about the jacket though is its cuffs. The design of the cuffs is absolutely flawless, they hug your wrists in a way that keeps the cold out yet is totally comfortable. The Atom LT is also extremely light, even more so than other comparable synthetic down jackets from other companies. The only small issue I would have with the jacket is that it does fit me somewhat short in the front, I wish they would have provided slightly more coverage there but this is a very minor issue. This jacket has phased out all the others I own to be the only jacket I reach for every morning.

Not sure why, but there was skepticism to first believe that this jacket could be as good as everyone claimed since it doesn't feel like anything; however, another convert there is, as this is as warm and comfortable as advertised. Wearing only a Motus short sleeve underneath, it felt normal in temperatures around 0 celsius and didn't cause overheating even at 10 celsius. This is much superior than anything else in terms of lightness, pack-ability, windproof and even water resistance. It's feels like smooth sleeping bag material, except softer. The jacket drapes well and matches Arcteryx's sizing's. Unfortunately, this jacket may just replace all others...

I picked this bad boy up as insulation under my Alpha SV jacket. When I first put it on, I found the hood to be very odd. No way to cinch up the opening so I was at first unimpressed with that part of the design. Otherwise a great piece of equipment that is really light and surprisingly warm given its size. Back to the hood issue, I put the Atom on, then I put my Alpha SV jacket on, and since I live in Vancouver and it rains for 8 months of the year, I put the hood on the Atom up and then put the hood of my Alpha jacket on and it all made sense. I have never in my life owned an umbrella and when it rains I just put my hood on and thus am 100% waterproof.

I bought the atom lt in the wheat grass, and size large and the color is very accurate to the picture. The sizing on this piece is very accurate; I am mostly a large in everything I wear (6'1", 195lbs, 42inch chest, 33inch waist) and it fits like a charm. I will start off by saying that this jacket is very unassuming. It is unbelievably light, yet very very warm. I have worn it the past three days in the remnants of hurricane sandy in Ann Arbor, Michigan (30-40F, wind chill 20F, rain, sleet, snow, 30mph winds), and it has done me wonders. If i put a light fleece underneath the atom i am VERY warm with the 20F wind chill. amazing. Yet, when it gets around 55F with a slight breeze, this jacket is perfect with just a t-shirt under neath. Its like the jacket knows the temperature outside and decides how warm to be. The zippers all work great, and i love the placement of the pockets (not too low, but not too high where they are at my chest). The outside lining of the pockets have nice microfleece to them, but the inside lining that goes against your body does not, it is just the smooth fabric lining of the jacket.. I am not sure why they made it like this, but the pockets would be much warmer if they had done it right. The inner chest pocket is also not really a chest pocket. It is somewhere in between so that when you put something in there it sags down to take up space of the left hand pocket. Its just kinda awkward. All of these are very small gripes, and I love this jacket. It goes with me everywhere now. I will update when I have had more rigorous use with it!

In winter month I live in my Atom LT jacket. Its covers a wide range of temperatures and can be worn as mid layer or stand alone piece which is surprisingly resistant to wind and light rain and even to abrasion by rock. No need for pit zips since the fleece inserts under the arms breathes so well. My only gripe is the nonadjustable hood which would make this piece even better. The arm sleeves slip perfectly under a hardshell layer and work great together with gloves. More than enough pockets and still in good shape even in it's 3rd season.

Parfaite pour le coup de froid lorsque l'on assure quelqu'un au relais en goulotte par exemple. Elle est tous le temps prsente dans mon sac mme en randonne. Une fois comprime dans la manche, elle se fait oublie ! Trs bon apport de chaleur compte tenu du poids de cette veste !

I've had my Atom LT hoody for about 3 winter's now, and although I would classify myself as a gear hound (re: I'm constantly buying new gear and selling old gear), I still find myself coming back to this piece time and time again. It's amazingly versatile, especially if paired with a super light Gore-Tex shell (Alpha FL or something similar) for long touring days, mountaineering trips, etc. And as an added bonus, if you roll the jacket up into the hood, it makes for a decent pillow (so you can save weight by not having to carry one on backpacking trips). Legit!

This piece is always in my backpack or in my car waiting for me to put it on. It insulate great, breathe much better in underarms compare to Patagonia Nano Puff where I was wet underarms when working hard. Really recommend this piece for replacing fleece jacket.

This is my first Arc'teryx product. Elegant details made this jacket a standout.. I took it with me on a month-long camping and sailing adventure to Australia. While many reviewers talked about it being warm in seriously cold temperatures, I found it to be perfectly comfortable in milder temps. It was great in the cool evenings and chilly early mornings, and perfect for windy sailing into the evenings. The pockets are comfy cozy. The inside pocket is roomy. Best of all, it packs into something that takes up about as much space as my birding field guide - only it weighs about as much as 6 paper clips. The jacket moves with you. It's not just about function, it's about stylish design. It'll be my go-to jacket from now on. My Patagonia down sweater jacket will be taking a back seat.
