Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody

I've had North Face products for many years now and this is my first venture into the Arcteryx brand after hearing so many good things about it. This jacket fits true to size and is very comfortable. I needed a nice jacket I can wear during the fall and be breathable and wind-resistant. This jacket does all that and is also a good mid-layer for the colder months. I'm looking forward to more products from Arcteryx.

I LOVE this jacket! from early Autumn to late Spring this jacket WILL be in my pack. So many times it offers just the right amount of extra warmth. Belaying on a cold morning/standing around camp even sleeping in it in your bivy.... it does the job! Being synthetic its not the end of the world if it gets wet or needs to be washed in some far flung place. I can't think of anything I'd change, in fact PLEASE don't change anything! If this jacket doesn't become an Arcteryx classic theres no justice in the world! 10/10!

I hike the western Washington Cascades year round especially the trails of Mt Rainier. Excellent craftsmanship like all arcteryx products. During the spring and fall months this jacket is to warm to be worn during movement. But makes for a great throw on piece when stopped for water break or snack. In fact, when ever my pack comes off this jacket goes on to help conserve all that heat I just built up. Will shed light precip, especially with a shake. But not recommended for real rain. Fits really nice, I'm 6' 1" 175 and wear a large.

I've had my Atom LT Hoody for over a year now and it has become my go-to piece for Mid and Outer layering. From temps in the mid 30's and up the Atom is a great outer layer, comprable to Marmots Zeus or Patagonia's Down Sweater. When the temp drops below 30, or I'm on the slopes, the Atom pairs nice with my Arcteryx Theta AR shell. The two of those combined are the perfect combination of warmth and breathability. The one minor complant is on windy days with minimal activity, a breeze can cut through the Polartec Power Stretch side panels, but if you layer properly, or are doing a high intensity activity that the jacket is designed for, this is a very minor issue. Overall the Atom LT Hoody is awesome. I recommend it to anyone looking for a versitle Mid/Outer layer insulator.

I have owned an Atom LT Hoody and the awsome Atom MX for nearly a year now. Both have served me well and kept me comfortable on the mountain and toasty warm in the valley...Core loft insulation is super light and very warm for its weight. Wether used under a shell or as an outer layer these pieces are the bomb..(no pun intended..! ) The outer material is tuff but it will only take so much abuse(so if you find yourself in a horrible chimney or off width you may have some war scars on your Atom!) Another excellent garment...

Super Jacke, besitze mehrere Jacken von Arcteryx aber diese hier ist mein absolutes Lieblingsteil. Warm, winzig klein verpackbar, wasserabweisend, fast winddicht. Wenn es in Wohnungen nicht zu warm werden wrde, wrde ich diese Jacke zwischen Oktober und April gar nicht mehr ausziehen. Wie gesagt, die Jacke ist ein Pflichtkauf!

I'm never too hot or too cold! Simply the best. New sizing fits wider and much longer - too long for women's sizing in my option.

This jacket looks great on and is versatile for hiking and day-to-day comfort. However, if you are looking to purchase this for cold windy days, I recommend either layering up or another jacket on top. I hiked Mt Washington in this jacket, and the weather was perfect for it, but if it was much colder, I would have needed another layer on top to protect from windy condiitons.

This is a nice looking jacket. It has mostly been too warm to wear it, but the one time I did it kept me snug and warm. No wind came through on my short bike ride. The only thing that worries me is that the arms seem pretty snug. I'm not sure I can fit a warm shirt under comfortably.

So far so good, I wanted a lighter jacket for summer, and I do love the colour. I honestly wish this had been in the puff style for women. I feel like the men's line is usually much better with colour and variety of products.

I bought the atom hoody because I needed a synthetic mid-layer. It is very functional but the one thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was that it looked a good bit loftier/ warmer in the photos online

The sizing has changed! My wife has the tiger Lilly version, size large, of the Atom jacket that is about 10 years old. We didn't think this classic jacket would change but the new size large Yukon color fits much larger. She will have to exchange it for a medium.

I love the aesthetic, weight, warmth and breathability of this jacket. It's perfect to have in my pack when I'm climbing or hiking. However, the hood cinches in the back rather than around the face so it does a horrible job keeping the wind out. This design is probably meant for ppl wearing a helmet but for everyday wear where I just need to stay warm without wearing a hat/beanie, this is a major design flaw.

Doesn't fit as well as I would like - had to go to a size from what fits my body for the sleeves and jacket not to be too short (5'8", 145ish). Otherwise good jacket. Wish they had a light coloured jacket that was a standard neutral colour like the men's.

Overall good, but the Outside material seems very fragile & easy to break.

I love this Atom Hoody. I still use my old black one that is over 10 years old but wanted a new one too. Got it in the sale. Only slight issue is that the sizing has changed and I bought a Small and would have preferred and XS. I compared it to my older Atom Hoody and the arms are the same size but the body of the new one is about an inch longer and probably more than that wider in the body. I could not change sizes due to stock and I love the bright yellow 'Sprint' colour. It can be adjusted at the bottom and the hood is adjustable, which my oolder one isn't so that is a bonus. Also it comes up further than my old one to protect my face which is great to put on after a cold xc race. Love the jacket, just seems Arcteryx has made their sizes bigger.

While water repellent it is also snow repellent it seems. Light snow however. Eventually the atom does begin to look wet - this can take up to 20 minutes. Wouldn't recommend for a standalone outer layer but is an excellent mid layer. Inside pocket helps. Kyanite hoody, atom and beta lt all work well together. Plenty of pockets and keeps you warm and dry. 220 is quite an investment however, you can get fully waterproof products for that price. But you're paying for a superior mid layer/emergency outer layer if you're caught out or if you're putting out the bins.

The usual superb quality arcteryx is known for - lightweight, breathable, JUST the right level of insulation jacket. With some notable improvements over the older version. Sleeves now have a new cuff around the wrist which is very good, logo is stitched on not printed, fleece material on the sides has more stretch making it a tighter fit then the previous iterations. Size wise it's less straight forward then before, I bought L (which I buy for all arcteryx products) but it's tighter then I expected; still fits well, but wearing a heavy sweater underneath is now less comfy. So why no 5 star? That would be the zipper, despite the fancy zipper pulls, the zipper appears to be of lesser quality then before not 'zipping' up as smoothly, it feels like there is some friction, only time will tell how it stand up to the test of heavy wearing - for the rest, it's a straight five star piece of gear - as per the usual!

I bought this 1 week ago for my girlfriend. She is 163cm tall and 57kg weight, and the M size is perfect, a little larger but for a winter cover is fine.

Had 5 Atom over years Personally i would like to have a stuffsack pocket and the fabric of the "Squamish windshell" instead of the fleece inserts.

It's a great jacket. I did end up returning it and buying a larger size elsewhere- so the fitted sizing is truth! I'm typically a large and the large fit fine, but I run cold and wanted more room for layers, so went with the XL

I followed the size chart exactly and purchased a M. While it fits very comfortably, I would call this a very relaxed fit. It feels quite baggy to me and I preferred last year's closer fit better. This year, I like the longer torso and the looser armpits. I would like a slightly shorter sleeve and more fitted torso. I did not like the fit for many years prior when it was very short in the torso and tight in the armpits. I am 5'5" and 135 lbs with a longer torso. I also purchased a M shirt using the same new size chart and also find it a bit baggy. I traditionally wear S and wonder if I would like that sizing better, but according to the chart I would not fit it.

I have three of these hoodies. I use one as a mid layer for work, one for hiking/camping/outdoor sports, and this most recent one is for more general everyday use. The one I have for work I have had for ~6 years. I has been patched, re-puffed, sewn, and glued. It remains one of my favorite pieces in a layering system. They are comfortable across a range of temperatures, stand up okay to active use and pack relatively small for going in a stuff sack and pack. The sewning on the seems of my second one didn't stand up as well as the first. I have had it reparied at a shop in Calgary Alberta, and since it has been great. Overall, I would recommend this product.

Very comfortable hoodie. Lightweight and fits great. snug in the arm pits which is a big plus. form fitting.

This jacket is really good for weather above 40 degrees, windy or rainy. It feels like your wearing a long-sleeve shirt , it is extremely light. If you want something for below 45 degrees, go with the AR instead of this one, its worth the extra few dollars. The only problem I have with this jacket is checking my watch , the elastic cuffs can get annoying but it doesn't bother me to much.
